I have a 2 x 12 cab with Altec Lansing 300w Whiteframes in it. The impedance is not marked so I checked them with my Fluke meter. They measure 6 ohms each. I consider them 4 ohm speakers and have been using them as such with no problems at all.
The cabinet is currently wired in stereo 4 (6) ohms per side.
I want to try this cab with my Mark III. It has 2 x 4 ohm and 1 x 8 ohm speaker outputs on the back of it.
According to my manual, I need to use a series box which is basically a box with 3 jacks on it. One jack gets plugged into the Mesa Boogie 8 ohm speaker jack. The other 2 jacks go to the left and right jacks on my speaker cabinet.
I am assuming that a "series" box is basically 1 jack going to the amp wired into the other 2 jacks wired in series + to - to + to -.
Is this correct?
I have never seen a series box before but if this is what it is I can certainly make one in a few minutes.
