Hi all, yet another question, (i`m beginning to sound like a bloody 4 year old). I just got hold of an Ampeg PF 350 head, this cute little monster puts out 250w @ 8ohm, and 350w @ 4ohm, and now i`ve realised that I may not have any properly compatible speakers, so I thought it made sense to ask some people who know a lot more about these things than I do
So, what I DO have is an old car type sub rated at 300 to 600w @ 4ohm, which sounded OK when I tried it out to make sure it worked. Then there are two separate bass cabs, 1 X 12, and 1 X 15 at 100w and 8ohm each, OR two old-ish Eminence bass speakers rated at 150w and 4ohm each, one of which needs repaired.
Seeing as this amp is not going to go above quiet house type volume for quite some time, I was wondering if I could get away with using the 1 X 12 at home, and get the Eminence repaired so I can put together a 2 X 12 300w cab for future reference.
Any and all assistance gratefully accepted, cheers T.

Mixing speaker sizes and types is a crapshoot, try it out but the REALLY important thing is to ensure the impedance doesn't drop below 4ohms.
Out of all the potential setups you have I wokld start with the two 100w cabs, see which you prefer and then work out if having them both sounds better or worse and whether the extra volume is useful.
Cheers
