Brad	Re: Removing spkrs from Marshall 4x12 cab Bic, I would think both. Not quite sure how the switching works..(I've got a schem on one of my BU discs somewhere)..but you'll be running 2 16ohm speaks in parallel for 8 ohms mono, and then split to stereo, you'll have 2 16 ohm loads. (This is assuming the BV cab has four 16ohm V30's in it). You'll also have the problem of two big 12" holes in your Marshall cab....whether you'll like the sound or not is up to you...I imagine I wouldn't. It'll no longer be sealed. If it were me...i'd just leave well enough alone, and find 2 other speakers for your intended use. But, that's just me. Good luck, Brad

Bic,
I would think both. Not quite sure how the switching works..(I've got a schem on one of my BU discs somewhere)..but you'll be running 2 16ohm speaks in parallel for 8 ohms mono, and then split to stereo, you'll have 2 16 ohm loads. (This is assuming the BV cab has four 16ohm V30's in it). You'll also have the problem of two big 12" holes in your Marshall cab....whether you'll like the sound or not is up to you...I imagine I wouldn't. It'll no longer be sealed. If it were me...i'd just leave well enough alone, and find 2 other speakers for your intended use. But, that's just me.

Good luck,
Brad
