waynepunkdude Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 If I wanted to have a cab with 2 speakers to run at 8OHMs would I need to get 2 16OHM drivers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirkThrust Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 (edited) Yes, if you connected them in parallel, or 2 x 4ohm drivers in series Edited November 12, 2010 by AndyMartin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waynepunkdude Posted November 12, 2010 Author Share Posted November 12, 2010 Am I right in thinking that if I wire in parallel if one stops working the other will continue to work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xgsjx Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 Yes & No. If you wire two 16 ohm speakers in parallel, you'll get 8 ohm. If you wire two 4 ohm speakers in series, you'll still get 8 ohm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
