Wiring a bass cab

Freddie123 · 18th November 2006, 01:41 PM

Not sure if this belongs here but here it is anyway. I'm wanting to build a bass cab containing a 1x15, a 1x10 and a 1x6. The 1x15 is 200W the 1x10 is 150W and the 1x6 is 100W. I'm going to run a 300w head through it. First off is it possible to even make this cab with these speakers? Second, how would I wire it? In series or parrallel and which should I wire to first if it matters. Will I need anything else like a compressor or crossover?

Also need to ask about impedence, what impedence would each speaker need to be to make this work. Does the way its wired effect impedence? I think all of the speakers are 8ohms if that helps.

Thanks in advance,

Freddie

Hi Freddie,

First off, what are the drivers and what are you trying to do? ie: what will you be using this for?

Doesn't matter anymore

I'm building with this with a friend and it seems he's changed the plans. Thanks for your intrest though.
