Doesn't sound right to me. Did you buy it used? My guess would be that someone changed out a speaker OR there was a mistake made at the factory.

Unless you mean the speaker output jacks on the amp. The internal speaker is 16 ohms, but plugging into the external jack shifts the amp over to 8 ohms. They expect you to use an external 16 ohm cab, which combines with the internal speaker to make an 8 ohm total.

But if the speakers themselves in it are different, no that;s not right.
