Is this 4ohm cab rewired to 16ohm?

[SurroundedByManatees]

Hi There.

 

I've got a Glockenklang Quattro 4 Ohms (with tweeter) that I suspect has been rewired to 16 Ohms. Reading on my multimeter is 11.7 ohms (200 setting on multimeter).

 

I also managed to make this crappy pick inside from the backplate.

 

 

As there are wires between te speakers, I suspect it indeed has been rewired? It would make sense though given the head I got the cab with.

 

Thanks

If your measurement of 11.7 ohms is correct then I would say it is indeed a 16 ohm rewire.

The visible junction indicates series wiring so the DCR fits with a simple wiring swap to a series pair of 8 ohm drivers. Quattro implies 4 drivers. Buggered if I know what's going on.

A quick Google reveals that it's a 4x10 available in 8 and 4 ohm versions, so it's presumably a 4 ohm job rewired so the 4 4 ohm drivers are in series.

Yeah I found the sellers contact details in my mail and asked him. He indeed confirmed that it had been rewired (which makes total sense given the head it was used with).

 

Thanks all.
