4x12 Speaker cab wiring question

[Cal Weldon]

Yes

What amp head is it? (make, model)

 

[mytool4u]

It is an M-80 Chorus with two outputs on the back. 8ohms right and 8ohms left.

 

[Brion55]

It would be better with two cabinets, but you can use one as you have planned. Do you understand how to wire it?

 

[mytool4u]

I think I am going to wire it like this. Is this right? Two parallel connections giving each pair of 16 ohm speakers, 8 ohms of output per side.

 

[Cal Weldon]

Yes

 

[Brion55]

Yep!

 

[sanders4617]

Bring back an old thread... That is pretty much how my cabinet is wired. Would that mean when you use all the speakers together, your getting 4 ohms?

 

[Cal Weldon]

If all the + terminals are wired together and the drivers are all 16 ohms, yes.

It's really quite straight forward, if you parallel, you divide the impedance. If you series, you add the impedances.
