I have a Gilmore Jr. 1/2-watt that I normally run through a home-made cab with a Celestion G10 Vintage.
I'd like to run the output through a DI box (Behringer GI100) into a console without going through the speaker. At the moment I can't really spend the money for an attenuator or dummy load, so I was thinking about using a de-coned speaker coil as a load.
I have a bunch of these 2", 8-ohm "full range" speakers, rated for 15 watts. To the best of my understanding, this should be fine (.5 < 15), but intuition suggests that it's a lot to ask of such a tiny device. The speaker is completely expendable, but I don't want to risk damaging the amp. Is this a reasonable thing to attempt?
