Just a thought, Pro speakers 8ohm, as the crossover/loop through for another speaker would make the draw 4ohms if the other speaker is 8ohm.
Hope I am correct!!!!

Not when there is a crossover involved.
The amp sees 8 ohm at low frequencies and 8 ohm at high frequencies, so the overall impedance is 8 ohm.
The low and high drivers are not in parallel in the normal sense of the word.

Perhaps one to consider: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/11580605...:23d0a8d64dc31bfebc67cd8c02487509;pt:1;choc:2
Thanks for that, just ordered a new meter, my old one was not giving a good reading on resistance. will also check with Peavey.
Hi again,
Peavey are looking into the archives, my new meter is giving me a 5.6-6.3 ohm reading, so looking at 8ohms I hope.

Yes, add on one third of the meter reading and you have a good estimate of the nominal impedance.
Although, I would expect a steady meter reading.

You dont get a steady reading using a regular ohm meter to measure voice coil resistance (unless the driver is in an ultra quiet environment)
Remember, any slight movement of the cone (especially a large one) caused by sound, wind etc.. moves the voice coil and generates a voltage that will effect the reading.

i could be wrong but with the described fault i would investigate the connection point between the tinsel lead and coil.
that would require removing the dust cap and scraping away the usual glue glob anchor on the surface of the cone to fix the connection, it may save you the cost of replacing the driver...
Hi, yes measuring the correct woofer.
Message from peavey its not a peavey speaker or cab, just a system made to look like it is.
So back to looking for an 12" 8ohm speaker ???watts. (as high as possible) not braking his finances.

The Peavey woofer to which I linked earlier may be as good a bet as any in the circumstnces, and is not too costly.
As a superior choice, look at the FANE Sovereign PRO 12-500.
The woofer power rating should exceed the rms power rating of your amplifier by 1.5 to 2 times, preferably the latter.
