Series = 16-ohms Parallel = 4-ohms The only way to make the cab 8-ohms is to use only one of the speakers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spikyhedgehog Posted June 9, 2007 Share Posted June 9, 2007 What cabs have you got and what overall impedance are you trying to achieve? If you're trying to make a 412 then you can create an 8 ohm cab with 4 8 ohm speakers in a series/parallel combination. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danbanbass Posted June 9, 2007 Author Share Posted June 9, 2007 i'm actually going to get 2 4 ohm 12's in series in one cab and a 1x12 8 ohm speaker in the other so i have 3 12's at 4 ohms so i can take whichever cabs i will need to different size venues Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spikyhedgehog Posted June 10, 2007 Share Posted June 10, 2007 That's ok, but the single 12 will get double the power of the other 12's, make sure you account for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
