Hi guys I picked this up today to goodwill for $59.31.
The speakers are find and sound great to me. I haven't played thur a 4-12 cab in a long time but it sounds great to me. What are parallel inputs? Both of my amps both Booge have two 4 ohms and 1 8 ohm speaker out but both have the amp speaker in the 8ohm and this cab is a 8 ohm. I unplugged the speaker out of my Mark 4 and ran it thru the cab.
Would it do any harm to hook it to the 4 ohm out?

By "parallel inputs", they mean that the two jacks are in parallel with each other, rather than in series (very rare for speaker configurations).
If your Boogie will be happy with a 4 Ohm total load (two 8 Ohm loads in parallel), then you'll be fine. I've heard that output transformers can be happy with a 2x mismatch from ideal.
Or, move a crapton of air and run this cab in parallel with one of your other cabs. That'll give you a 4 Ohm load.

| Thanks Lane. I'll try it with two chords in the two 4ohm outputs. |
