rewiring cainet

[cubanorocker316]

hey everyone, my guitarist is currently running a marshall mg50dfx combo through a crate 200w cabinet, the problem is the cabinet is 4ohms and the marshall is 8ohms, someone told me that you could rewire the cabinet to make it 8ohms, how would i go about doing that, thanks in advance

You would have to tell us what the ohm ratings of the individule speakers are first.

That crate cabinet - how many speakers? What impedance are they?

Is he running the combo through its internal speaker as well? If he is, and the internal speaker is 8 ohms, then he's running the amp at a little over 2 1/2 ohms, which is not good if the amp is spec'ed at 8 ohms.
