Cabinet Celestion
Will a different amp head will be compatible with a different amp cabinet?
I want to buy an amp head and an amp cabinet separate but I do not know if they are compatible with each other. How do you know if they will be compatible with each other? The original amp cabinet that came with the amp head was 400W and the one I want to get is 280W. I do not know if this makes a difference. Here is some more info:
I am going to buy a Peavey Valveking 100W Head:

I am going to replace the crap tubes inside it with Mesa 6L6 and 12AX7 tubes:

I am planning on buying the B-52 280W 4X12 Cabinet with Celestion Vintage 30's in it:

Thanks for your time.

Hi Seth,
It should be ok. The wattage just refers to total output so any combination of head and speakers should work together. The only risk is that if the amp head is more powerful than the speakers can handle you could blow them. However, as long as you don't turn up the head to maximum volume you should be fine.
Hope this helps.
