okay, i have a guitar amp that runs in stereo with two 65 watt, 8 ohm channels...(fender ultimate chorus)

i was wondering if i could hook up four 8 ohm speakers (in series-parallel) so they make 8 ohms, and attatch that to one channel...

and then two 8 ohm speakers in series so they make 16 ohms, and then attatch that to the other channel


is it bad for one channel to have a different ohm load then the other?




ive been told its okay if the amplifier is 'dual monobloc' but i cant find information anywhere on wether or not it is (fender is very hard to contact)



any advice is greatly appreciated
 
generally it's not a problem to run and amp with different loads on each side.
 
As long as it is not a tube amp, you will be fine. The one side will be louder than the other, if it matters.
