Most Music Man combo amps are run in the 8 ohm position (assuming they have the factory stock loudspeakers). This is done to allow you to use the 4-ohm setting if you have an external 8-ohm cabinet connected.


If you want to be sure that your two speakers are indeed 4 ohm drivers (2 in series = 8-ohms), disconnect the connections and measure them with an ohm meter. An 8-ohm driver will measure about 5 to 6 ohms and a 4-ohm driver should measure 2.5 to 3 ohms.
