Thanks for the Reply.. What I tryin' to do is upgrade the stock (four
16 Ohms) 10 "speakers w/ better speakers w/ lots of low end. I haven't
seen any 16 Ohms replacement most or all of them are 8 Ohms.. You said
I have to get 16 or 4 Ohms enable to use the 4/16 Mono and 8 Stero Ohm
switch? If I go with four 8 Ohms, then I need to replace the input
switch thats just 8 Ohms? Thanks for the Help!!

In that case, you may want to consider getting a whole new cabinet. The
cabinet has as much to do with getting that low end tone as the speakers.
Bass speakers need specific cabinet volume and porting to operate at there
optimum levels. Putting bass speakers into your 'guitar' cabinet will not
likely produce very good results.

But to answer your question, you would want to bypass the ohm switching
feature of the cabnet. You best bet would be to use 8ohm speakers, and net
a total 8 ohm load.
