Synergy 20IR with two 16 ohm cabs?

[romanianreaper]

Dumb question but the Synergy 20IR has a single 16 ohm jack, two 8 ohm jacks, and two 4 ohm jacks. Can I plug the 16 ohm cabs into the 8 ohm jacks for a total of 8 ohms? I think the single 1x16" jack is throwing me off and don't want to screw anything up.

That’s exactly how you would do it

Yep that’s exactly how it works! When you have two cabs of a given impedance, use the output jacks rated at half the impedance of one of the cabs.

2 x 16 ohm cabs = use the 8 ohm amp outs

2 x 8 ohm cabs = use the 4 ohm amp outs

Thanks!

Appreciate it! I think in my head, I was thinking "the jack says 8 ohms so have to plug in two 8 ohm heads".
