12 ohms out

Post by juse »

Would a 12Ω speaker out on a 1-2 watt amp be considered unstable? Wouldn't this work okay with either an 8Ω or a 16Ω cabinet without much turmoil? I'm just wondering what the impedance mismatch of +/- 4Ω would do to a mini setup. I'm sure it will work fine, but just curious about the impact on life expectancy.
