Members frankiej Posted July 23, 2008 Members Share Posted July 23, 2008 So ive been looking around at some cabs just for kicks a giggles to see whats out there, try something new. Looking at some 1x12s or 2x12s. I know there is Avatar, Earcandy, Mesa(expensive though) and etc. Looking at around 200 or so used. I also have some questions. My Vox AC15 has two speaker inputs, so tyo my understanding if i got a 1x12 i could have both that and my AC15s speaker pushing out my sound? And a question considering the ohms. If i put my AC15s speaker output at 16 ohms it can handle 16, 8, and 4 if im not mistakened? (mainly applying this to the 2x12 if they are 8 ohms and wired in parrellel.) Educate me a bit, im stupid when it comes to the technical side of this stuff:thu: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members FatsoForgotso Posted July 23, 2008 Members Share Posted July 23, 2008 You can get an Avatar 212 wired to be 16 ohms. You would need to so you can use the 8 ohm setting on the amp and its best to match them up if possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont know ideas are getting thrown around. I might actually sell my Ac15 and go with something like the Epi head and mod it to hell. But i dont know.

Members FatsoForgotso Posted July 23, 2008 Members Share Posted July 23, 2008 well if you find a used cab you like and the speakers are 16 ohms no problem. Generally if someone is running a 212 they'll have it wired to 8 ohms because some amps can't go that low...my V4 is only 8, 4, and 2. If they are wired that way its a simple process of rewiring the speakers to be 16 ohms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members FatsoForgotso Posted July 24, 2008 Members Share Posted July 24, 2008 no you could wire it for 16 ohms so if you can find one snag it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members frankiej Posted July 24, 2008 Author Members Share Posted July 24, 2008 So if the 2x12 had two 8 ohms speakers. Theres a way to wire them for 8 ohms instead of 4 ohms? and with a head like the epi, can you even run a 2x12 since it only has one speaker input?
