Okay, dumb question alert. I got this Fender Champ 600 head that needed some sorting out, which was successful, and I hooked it up to two 10 inch Fender Special design 8 ohm speakers. Sounds great. I needed two speakers because the amp is only rated at 4 ohms, and I only had 8 ohm speakers available. You get that right? Great. But one of those speakers came out of another amp and I want to put it back in there. That leaves me with only one available 8 ohm speaker which is the wrong load for the amp.
Now I do have a crummy six inch 8 ohm speaker that I think came out of a really cheap cassette deck. It's not good enough for a guitar amp - not for decent tone anyway.
Insert dumb question here - what if I take the cone out of the cheap speaker? Just cut it out. Attach it anywhere inside the cabinet wired with the other speaker. The cheap speaker will not be making any noise, right? The other speaker will work like normal. Then I should have the proper load, and I can avoid having to spend any dough on a 4 ohm speaker.
Thought I would ask before destroying a perfectly good (crappy) speaker!
Will it work?
Thanks!!!
