That should be safe; although you won't get the best out of the loudspeakers. It's a myth. There is really no 16 Ohm amplifier on the market. And there never was. The amplifier will have an output impedance of around 0.04 ohms. In hi-fi we have always impedance bridging. Zout << Zin. That means the output impedance of the amplifier is much less than the input impedance of the loud speaker. The damping factor Df = Zin / Zout tells you what Zout is. Zout = Zin/Df. If the damping factor Df = 200 and the loudspeaker impedance is Zin = 16 ohms, the output impedance of the amplifier is Zout = 16 / 200 = 0.08 ohms. You see, there is no "16 ohm amplifier" on the market with a 16 ohm output impedance. Scroll down to related links and look at "Voltage Bridging or impedance bridging - Zout < Zin".

Guitar loose amp plug?
This can happen and may require opening up the guitar to retighten the loose amp plug fitting from inside.
What happens if you play bass on a guitar amp?
Your speakers will blow out. A guitar amp is not meant to handle the low register of a bass. Even on a practice amp.
What can you do to make the guitar louder?
plug it into an amp
What is the part of a guitar that you plug your amp into called?
The input socket.
How do you connect a guitar amp to a PA?
Absolutely. A guitar amp is designed to amplify the guitar and related frequencies and as a consequence, sounds nice with guitar. Vocals through a guitar amp sounds bad most the time, as does guitar straight into PA speakers.
How does one practically apply ohms to amplifier vs speakers?
the watts for 2 ohms is more than 4 ohms. depending on the ohms your speakers take up and the wattage the speakers use, tells you what size amp you need.
Was looking to build some PA speaker boxes can you use guitar amp speakers insted?
I would not advise this, because the guitar speakers are designed to make a guitar sound good, and PA speakers are designed to make vocals sound good. PA speakers, electrically, are low impedence speakers, while guitar amp speakers, electrically, are high impedence speakers.

How many 30watt speakers can a 240watt amplifier drive?
Depends on the amp and type of speakers brand and ratings would be nice info u also need to look at ohms of the amp and the speakers
What can you do to make the guitar louder?
plug it into an amp
Is it ok to use an amp rated at 4 Ohms and speakers at 8 ohms and why or why not?
yes you can you will have to wire up the speakers in parallel because with 8ohm it gives too much resistance and the amp will produce unwanted sound i.e. low volume.
Can you plug a microphone into a guitar amp?
Yes, you definitely can.
What is the part of a guitar that you plug your amp into called?
The input socket.
What is better 16 ohms speakers or 8 ohms speakers?
It depends on the application. If you have an amp that is stable in 8 ohms per channel, then 8 ohm speakers will work best. However, if you wanted multiple speakers on that channel you could use two 16 ohm speakers.

Is this normal you have an Ibanez guitar and amp and when you plug the guitar into the amp the amp starts playing Kiss FM but When you unplug the guitar it stops?
hahaha dude my amp does the same things. you just have radio interference, but mine does that when you hold a string on a fret.
