I split my AVT cab into 2 2x12's

Read my posts. You fucked up. Wire the 8 ohms in series.

My head hurts.

"b) AVT150HX
The AVT150HX has two loudspeaker outputs.
The one marked â€˜Extension 8 ohmâ€™ is for
connection to a single 8 Ohm cabinet. The
output marked â€˜Extension 8/4 ohmâ€™ can either be
used for connection to a second 8 Ohm speaker
cabinet, or to drive a single 4 Ohm cabinet.
WARNING:
Always provide the AVT with a load equal to, or
greater than, 4 Ohms.
Note: Two 8 ohm cabinets connected in
parallel = 4 ohm"

How is this hard to understand?

When using two cabs Cowbell has to put at least 8 ohms into each socket. He ain't at the moment. "Connected in parallel" refers to the use of both outputs.

I geddit.

Let's hope Cowbell does before he melts his Output Transformer.

By the way, you'll get more sound through one side than the other (the two 4s in series) when you make the change, this is what happens when you don't have equal impedances in parallel, and this will already be happening with the current 8/4 situation.

So instead of making them 4ohms, wire the 2 8ohm speakers in series so it will be 16ohms??? my head hurts. I followed instructions from a google search. I guess I should of called you on the telly mike.

TELL ME EXACTLY WHAT TO DO! now.

Wire the two 4 ohm speakers in series to one jack = 8 ohm cab

Wire the two 8 ohm speakers in series to the other jack = 16 ohm cab.

Connect both to your head = combined impedance of 5.3 ohms = good times.
