from what I have read, the speaker in this is a 16 ohm. When using the output jack it is split into 8 ohm, therefore almost doubling the output volume and wattage.

@beebs07 Are you saying a 4 watt amp will be louder with a larger speaker? 4 watts is 4 watts. I have played all the AC4's and as far as volume, they are the same. I own the 10" but played the 6.5" and the head cranked and there is no difference in volume. If there is, you can't really tell. The 10 has a little more bottom end. That's about it.

@777MMT Good point, often overlooked. While most cabs will be rated at more than 4-5 watts, it is important to match a relatively low powered speaker with such an amp. I have a Carvin V16-5 which I usually play in 5W mode. It came stock with a 100W speaker. At first, the stock speaker wasn't moving much air, as 5W barely tickled it. I swapped in a Celestion Greenback, rated 25W, and the unit came to life. Getting the air moving is critical to tone at any volume.

@beebs07 since the amp is 4watts you want to make sure the cab you get is like 4 or 5watts RMS cuz if you get a lets say 50watt RMS cab the speakers in the cab will want 50watts from the amp but the amp is only 4watt so instead of giving the seakers 50watts it will give them abnormal distortion wich wont sound good and this go's for all type's of amps & speakers (not just guitar amps &speakers) for best sound quality with amp's and speakers mach the rms of the amp with the rms of the speaker

I bought the 8 with intentions of saving up the extra 50 bucks towards a nice 2x12 cab since the ac4tv's have a speaker output jack. That way I can still practice with the 1/10 watt 8" speaker at night in my apartment or crank it to the full output on a cab in the future. If you want tube distortion that is quiet, this is the amp to get. The ac4tv 10 only goes down to 1/4 watt and will naturally be louder with the 10". Having said that, the 8" doesn't have the best bass response, but still great
