I'm going to be purchasing a 5150 head from my local music store and I was going to get an Avatar cabinet to go with it. I was looking at their Dual Vintage 30 2x12 cabinet. It says that the speakers are 16 ohms wired in parallel for an 8 ohm cab. Do I need an 8 ohm cab like they have already? Or do I need to get that changed to 16 ohm cab? Thanks for the help guys.
 
Genz Benz G-Flex 2x12's are supposed to be amazinggg! Apparently they sound huuuuge! If you can find one to try out, don't hesitate!

I run a Laney 2x12 with mine! It's ok, but not amazing.
 
"give me 2 days, and i'll let you hear how a marshall 1936 2x12 (g12-75) sounds with a 5150 (thats if you were considering them too) "

i'm using the 1960 cabs with my 5150, also loaded with the 75w celestions. sounds crushing :headbang:

wicked dude :) Well, the 5150 will be here on tuesday (bloody bank holidays!!), so there will be clips as soon as i get the sod!
 
Yeah, so I ended up getting a Marshall 2x12 with 75 watt celestions. I like it. I can't wait until tomorrow when people are at work to crank the bad boy up. I've gotta get a hot plate for it!
