Guys,
how hard would it be to re-wire the ext. cab port on my Allen Amp from series to parallel? I'd like to end up with a 4 ohm load instead of 16 if I add an 8 ohm cab.

thanks Dave

if it's really easy a link to a wiring diagram would help :food-smiley-004:

Yes 2 8 ohm speakers in parallel will give you 4 ohms.

Thanks Jeff, I've got that bit figured out. What I have is an Allen Old Flame, with 2 x 10's. They are 16 ohm each wired in parallel for a total of 8 ohms. The extension speaker jack, however, is wired in series with the cab speaker jack. So if I plug in my 1 x 12 8 ohm cab I'll be running a 16 ohm load into the amp. Want I want to do is rewire the extension speaker jack to be in parallel with the onboard speaker jack. The amp has a 4 or 8 ohm toggle switch.

sheesh, now I'm confused :smile:

I'm confused to.

Best wait for Wild Bill.

LOL. I'm sure I'm making it sound a lot more difficult than it really is :food-smiley-004:

I think he'll know what I'm talking about. I think he said older fender amps were wired this way.
