Cab Ohm question

[InflamedMonkey]

I have a question, How do you go about re-wiring a cab with 4x12 that is rated at 16 ohms into say 4 ohms, can it be done? and if so can someone help me with this?

Hrm... assuming four 8 ohm speakers, you could run them all in parallel. That would do 4 ohms. I don't know how well it would work, but that's 4 ohms. [img]graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

I belive if the four speakers are wired in series this is 4 ohms.
A 4x12 that's rated at 16 ohms would not have 8 ohm speakers!! [img]graemlins/bs.gif[/img]

Re: Cab Ohm question

If you have 4 speakers either 4 or 16 Ohm's each, you can wire it either for 4 or 16 ohm. The total Ohms for the cab can be 1/4 or the same as any individual speaker, or 4 times.

4 x 4 Ohm speakers can be wired 1, 4 or 16 Ohms
4 x 8 Ohm speakers can be wired 2, 8 or 32 Ohms
4 x 16 Ohm speakers can be wired 4, 16 or 64 Ohms

Actually they are 4 Ohm speakers, I just pulled them out to check.
