I've got a couple extra 6 1/2 inch Alpine car stereo speakers lying around and tonight I decided to plug my Ruby into one to see how it'd sound.

I run a pair of Celestion Rocket 50's on my main guitar amp and they're rated at 8 ohms each (2 speaker outputs on the amp). The Alpine I tried is a 4 ohmer, whats the difference? Is 4 better than 8 or vice-versa? Will I damage my Ruby or the speaker running it through a 4 ohm as opposed to an 8 ohm speaker?
