so im wiring a 4x8 with a tweeter, the tweeter is 5.6 ohm and theres a crossover, the speakers were originally 32 ohm ( 8ohm cab) and i want it to be 4 ohm, so i got four 4 ohm woofers and i want to wire it like this. Will i be fine to add in the tweeter and itll still be 4 ohm?

On the road the cabs are being shaken up for thousands of miles in the back of a semi-truck, trailer, or van. Those connectors can come loose and I don't trust them. Although I opened one of Sacred Reich's cabs that had been touring since the late 80's and those quick connects were still solid.

I think screwed myself. i used to have 4x12 cabs with 16 ohms speakers wired/running 16ohm setting, the 4x12 got to dam heavy so i now have 2- 2x12 cabs but one set of speakers is 8 ohms(celestion gold's) & the other 2,i just bought 16ohms ( the newest celestion 100 anniversary speakers) i thought i could bring the 8s up to 16 which i can, then i thought i could wire the 16ohms to 16ohms but everything im seeing is saying no deal . if you read this will just confirm for me, if there's any suggestions im willing to listen Thanks, Peace!!

I'm not understanding your desired setup from the description. The two 8 ohm speakers can be wired in parallel for 4 ohms or in series for 16 ohms. The two 16 ohm speakers should only be wired in parallel for an 8 ohm load. Are you wanting to use both of them at the same time with the same amplifier? Some amplifiers can handle a slight mismatch but the downside in this case is the speakers won't draw equal current due to the impedance being different despite the amp seeing the overall load. Feel free to write me at brent@purgasound.com and I would be happy to share some more insight. Thanks for checking out the channel!

@@purgasound I have a Marshall head with 2 speakers jacks, my ohms selections on the head are 8 & 16 ohms, i have 2, 2 x 12 cabinets, the speakers i currently have are 2 @ 8ohms rated & 2 @ 16ohms rated (while standing alone not wired up). i thought i was able to hook the 2, 16 ohm speakers in one of the cabs and get a total of 16ohms after wired together but im coming to find out my only choices for finial ohms once wiring them together will be either 4 ohm or 32 ohms, my goal was to wire both cabinets having 16 ohm totals on both, but im coming to find out i made a mistake since there no way to wire the 16 ohm speaker together to get a total of 16 ohms, see i was thinking since it could be done that way with a 4x12 i figured one could do the same with a 2x12, right now the only solution i see is wire the 2 16ohm speakers for a total of 8ohms & in the second cab just run one of the 8 ohm speakers since i can't match the cabinets in terms of ohms . i hope you follow what im saying this time around. that said, is there a solution im not looking at? short of me buying 2 more new speakers which i can't do right now since the pair where $850 shipped. to costly to do right now..

Nice video, dude. I have a question: So the two speakers connected in series would have an impedance of 32 ohms and since both sides are connected in parallel, the total impedance is 16 ohms? Do I understand this correctly? I'm asking because I have a Peavey 6505 4x12 speaker and in mono (so all four speakers) it has 16 ohms and in stereo (so only 2 speakers) it only has 8 ohms and not 32 and as far as I know it has the same wiring. Or have I not understood something correctly?
@purgasound
10 ай бұрын
You are correct in your first statement. The difference in the Peavey cabinet is that it is wired in PARALLEL/SERIES which, when used in stereo, has a pair of 16 ohm speakers in parallel for an 8 ohm load. When used in MONO the two 8 ohm pairs are connected in series for a 16 ohm total load.

If I were to build two speaker boxes containing two 18 inch 8 ohm subwoofers each and wired them both in series. Both boxes would play at 16 ohms. If I were to then daisy chain them together at the speakon connectors would they then both revert to 8 ohm impedence or both play at 16 ohms?

If two 16 ohm loads are daisy chained together (connected in parallel) then the final load would be 8 ohms, yes.

@purgasound I mean with cable from the amplifier to the input of one box and from the output of that box to the input of the other via the speakon connectors outside the boxes. That would mean they would both be playing at 8 ohms if they were both wired in series at 16 ohms...yes?

Unfortunately that can't be done. The two 8 ohm speakers would either be 4 ohms in parallel or 16 ohms in series. You could run a mismatch into a 16 ohm load but I never recommend it if it can be avoided. When mismatching never run the amp at full volume.

Im seein a lead free soldering whit 3% silver. what is better for this? Cheers from Mexico
@purgasound

60/40 rosin core solder is perfect. If it does not have a rosin core then you will need to apply a flux to the surface prior to soldering for a good bond. 16AWG stranded wire is good. 14AWG is too much and will not fit through the solder tabs on the speaker terminals and the jacks. 18AWG is fine too. Marshall uses 18AWG wire in their cabinets.

Turns out the solder joints on one of the jacks on the stereo switching PCB broke loose somehow so I just replaced it all with just one normal jack and blocked off the holes similar to how you did. Also where do you get metal handles for your Marshall cabs? I'm looking to replace my plastic ones since they're getting pretty broken up. Thanks for another awesome video!
