Bought a new digital cheapo multimeter and tested a few "known" speakers.The meter was reading bang on for ohms.
1)Tested 2 older 8" Jensons in my National tube amp..they are in series...and I was getting 2.3 ohm each...can I assume that these are 4 ohm speakers or is the series wiring and the proximity to the OT affecting the reading? (didn't want to unsolder just to do test)
2)am (slowly) working on a 4X12 cab with 2X12 4ohms (8 ohm load) in parrallel and 2 single 12 8ohms individually wired. Is it possible to take a 1/4" jack "Y" short speaker cord and plug into both singles to get a 2X12 4ohm load?
3)best recommendation for an 8" bass speaker for a 40W ss Traynor? (I know...8"bass...WTF)
any and all info greatly appreciated. Its getting too cold to mess in the shop, so back to the kitchen table workshop...LOL
cheers
