I have an old Lab Series (Gibson/Moog) L11 full stack and the amp is starting to mess up so I'm thinking about getting a Spider IV HD150. I have been trying to research the answer to my question but I thought I'd ask here before I buy a $400 and mess it up. The cabs have a plate on the back that reads Quad 12" 16 ohm 200 watt max continuous output. How it hooks up now to the L11 head is 1 cable from the head into a cab and then another cable from that cab to the next cab. Looking at a picture of the back of the head it has 2 outputs 8 ohm Right and Left. In the cabinet-connection-and-ohm-faq-r436 it has a picture different from the IV HD150 but says 8 ohm out - Use the 2 B speaker outputs to drive two 16 Ohm cabs. So my question is can I get 2 speaker cables and run one cable from the 8 ohm Right into one cab and another cable from the 8 ohm Left into the other cab?
