Al Heeley Posted January 8, 2010 Posted January 8, 2010 Can you tell me how the Hartke 4 x 10 cabs are normally wired? (eg: 400W Hartke 410XL cab) Is it 4 x 8ohm speakers wired in S+P to give 8 Ohm total resistance? Is it possible to rewire them to give a total 4 Ohm impedance thus get more power from the amp? Quote

Being an ex-Hartke cab owner, I can tell you: Yes it is as you describe and no, I'm afraid you can not get a 4 Ohm impedance from any config using all 4 speakers. Quote
Al Heeley Posted January 8, 2010 Author Posted January 8, 2010 Thx Dood, 'tis as i suspected, but always worth asking here! Quote
Hartke_UK Posted January 11, 2010 Posted January 11, 2010 Yes, all of the Hartke 4x10 cabs are wired using 8 ohm drivers, 2 in series and then paralleled up to give a total of 8 ohm. This is true of the VX410 XL410 Hydrive 4x10 AK410 Quote
Al Heeley Posted January 11, 2010 Author Posted January 11, 2010 (edited) OK, I'll start saving for the XL 1 x 15 :/ Very happy with the sound of the cab by the way, nice punchy tight but I need a roadie to cart it about Edited January 11, 2010 by Al Heeley Quote
