Some guy is selling an ibanez stereo 4x12 cab for $30. So even if it's not great sounding, it's a good deal. Here's my thing. I have a peavey 25watt 8ohm combo and a dean markley 15watt 4ohm combo that i usually string together. the ibanez cab is rated for 4ohm mono, 16ohm mono, and 8ohm stereo. Since I'd love to be able to use all 4 speakers on the cab at once, how can i hook it all up? Since the dean is 4ohms and it's after the peavey in the signal line, can i just ouput the dean's line out into the cab at 4ohm mono? I worry though, that I will lose some of the peavey's punch that way.

I could maybe run either amp into different sides in stereo mode to get both amps sounds, but then the ohms don't match. The cab would be 8 ohm stereo, which would be fine for my peavey 8ohm. But the dean is 4ohm. Would it be ok to run it into 2x12 at 8ohms. I imagine since the resistance is higher it would lose some volume. Maybe not too much(the little dean is crazy loud anyway).

thanks in advance!
Mike
