Running two Captor X units in parallel

I searched the whole forum but couldn't really get a clear answer for this. Let's say I have two Captor X units that are both 8 Ohms. Can I just connect them in parallel to 2x8Ohm output of my 100W Marshall (or switching output impedance to 4ohms and connect them in parallel) and cranked it up to full volume without blowing anything up? I then plan to connect a cab or a headphone to one of the Captor X units to listen to my playing. Is this a safe thing to do? Thanks for any help.

Thanks for getting in touch. Ross from Two notes here. Technically you would set your amp to 4Ω operation for this purpose, however if you can let me know the model of the Amp, I can check the specifications for you and let you now for certain! Thanks so much!

Hi, thanks for getting back to me. My amp is a Marshall JCM 800 2203x reissue (100W).

Super! Thanks for that (nice amp by the way). I just checked the specifications and you will want to set your amp to the 4Ω setting when both Captor X devices are connected to the speaker output taps. Let me know if you need anything else!
