SubsonicSimpleton Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 If he made such a bodge in the first place, better to check the wiring yourself - it isn't complicated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deepbass5 Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 Just read this three times to pick my way through the changes. The guy obviously does not know what he is doing so forget him and find someone who does. Series is a safe option as the current delivered by your amp will pass evenly through both speakers, but the impedance at 20 ohms is going to seriously cut the output level from your amp. The other configuration = parallel will split the power unevenly in favour of the lower resistance speaker possibly frying it. But recheck what you are telling us when you mean Cab say cab and when you mean speaker say speaker, as i am getting confused suggestion wire the good existing 10" at 8 ohm in series with the new 10" at 4 ohm replacement = 12 ohm (2x10") cab . then run this cab in parallel with the 8 ohm 15" until you get the right replacement. ? good luck but you would prob be better off running just the one good old 10" speaker in the (2x10)cab in parallel with the 15" cab giving you 4 ohms.

subrob Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 15" at 8 ohms, paralleled with the oddity cab re-wired using only the 16 ohm 10, and the 4 ohm as a passive radiator until a matching 16 ohm 10" is found, [i]should[/i] work ok and keeps your amp in not-on-fire state.

0175westwood29 Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 probs a good thing he left the country, id be pretty angry if someone did that to my gear hes made the cab pretty usless, id do what some have suggested and just buy a new 16ohm so you can use the cab as you want again. andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikebass84 Posted April 26, 2014 Author Share Posted April 26, 2014 Well my head is currently broken (see my other thread) so for the time being I'm gonna focus on getting that fixed. Then get myself a new speaker. Any recommendations? (don't have a lot of money to spend) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
