I'm not sure about SS amps in general, and I know nothing about the Bedrock. Just thought I'd mention that a 4ohm cab with a 8ohm cab in parallel = 2.6ohm total impedance.
If you have the cabs connected to the amp's different output jacks and it works, then that's great. To be absolutely honest, I don't know enough to disagree with your tech. I only hoped to point out possible disasters before plugging in. Glad you're sorted,

SS amps are pretty robust, but im not sure your techie guy has given you the right info there, if it were me, id mail Bedrock to double check that advice, better to be safe than sorry as Evil Kenevel eventauly said. |

it was my mistake. i connected 8 and 16 ohm cab. i´d mail to bedrock if i could, but the company went out of business a few year ago. that´s why i´m searching like an idiot for a manual for my amp. i read one of another bedrockampseries, the 1600, and there´s the same, two jacks and minimum impedance 4 ohm, and in the manual they have written, that you can combine any cabs as long as the impedance does not drop below 4 ohms.
so we´ll see !! i´ll let you know if i blow my amp !!  |

Sounds good to me, good luck with it Trasher, im sure you have your calculations right, nothing wrong with a double check, as Harry Greene (QVC D.I.Y Expert) says, 'Measure Twice, Cut Once' and also that all time classic line, 'Safety first, D.I.Y second' .
Ahh, sunday mornings and QVC, nothing can beat it.  |
