Hmmm... with 2 4-ohm speakers, you're either gonna get at total impedance of 2-ohms in parallel or 8-ohms in series.

OR.... you could keep it as a stereo cabinet and just plug your Vibrochamp into only one of the speakers.....

OR....wire it up as an 8-ohm cabinet in series and buy the $80 Weber Z-Matcher (impedance matcher), which would allow you to use any freakin' speaker setup you can muster with any amp. I plan to do that myself soon. I have a 79 silverface champ that I want to run into a 4-ohm 2x10 cabinet or a 8-ohm 1x15 cabinet.

I am not sure about the new Vibrochamp and whether it could possibly tolerate a 2-ohm load.... sounds kinda low to me and dangerous. Maybe someone with a Vibrochamp can chime in.
