Members James Burleson Posted April 10, 2023 Members Share Posted April 10, 2023 I am planning to to replace the speakers in a Marshall 4x12 1960B cabinet by using 4 16ohm speakers. Is this correct or should they all be 8ohm speakers? Also, if I install 4 16ohm speakers I assume that I will still plug into the 16 ohm output on my JCM 2000 DSL.

Um, no. 4 X 16 Ohms in parallel would yield 4 Ohms. 2 pairs in series then in parallel would yield 16 Ohms. 4 X 32 Ohms in parallel would yield 8 Ohms. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
