Mismatched cabs OK with LSS head?

[suede11]

I checked the manual for this, but didn't see this scenario exactly, so thought I'd ask the group:

I'm running my LSS head into the Mesa Lone Star 1x12 cab (an 8 Ohm cab).
I've also got an Epiphone 1x12 (16 Ohm) and was thinking of using it together with the Mesa cab.
I know using both would result in a 5.33 Ohm load.
Assuming I use the 4 Ohm speaker out, am I doing any damage by adding that speaker?
(The Mesa cab has an out jack, so I'd just connect the Epi cab there.)

Only playing at home at volume next-door neighbors (house) can't hear, for about 2 hours at a time if that matters.

I like the idea of two speakers instead of just one and would love to use the stuff I already own, but obviously it's not worth hurting the amp. Your thoughts?

Thanks in advance.

I think you want the #7 scenario on Page 28 of the manual:
The 8 ohm speaker from the 4 ohm jack, and the 16 ohm speaker from the 8 ohm jack.
Not sure how this is different from daisy-chaining the two cabs, though.

@mrmarkIII:
Dude! That's definitely what I want to do. Feeling stupid that I missed it.
I think the whole daisy-chaining thing threw me off.
Looks like I can just go straight from the head to each cab with no worries.
Thanks for pointing it out.

Won't kill your amp, but you need to expect the 16 ohm cab to be noticeably quieter unless it's a super efficient speaker.
