NO. impedence has nothing to do with wattage, with a 16 ohm speaker you need to use the 16 ohm tap

No you must use the 16 ohm setting on your amp to run a 16 ohm speaker. Any other setting and you risk damaging your amp.

When running a higher resistance ( for example: 8 ohm output into 16 ohm cabinet ), a slightly different feel and
response will be eminent. A slight mismatch can provide a darker smoother tone with a little less output and attack. This response is
a result of the amplifier running a bit cooler. Sometimes when using more than one cabinet a mismatch will be the only option.

the above information is from Mesa Boogie
Hope this helps...
