Members joncyberboy Posted June 23, 2004 Members Share Posted June 23, 2004 I asked this question in the amp forum and got good responses except for the last part of it. Can anyone here help? My solid state power amp is 120 watts /side @4ohms. I currently have 2 16 ohms speakers at 75 watts in there but want more power and i know SS amps don't deliver all their power at too high a resistance. If i get 2x 8ohms cones at 75 watts each will i be ok? Will i get the extra volume and avoid blowing my speakers? I'm assuming that at 8ohms/ side the power amp delivers around 100 watts / side and i'm worried it will not be safe to use that much power into those speakers. The amp is a Marshall VS120/120. The cab is a 2x12 Marshall with 16ohm G12T-75's in. I'm looking at swapping them for 8 ohm ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members tricky_tech Posted June 24, 2004 Members Share Posted June 24, 2004 If you put 2 8R 75W speakers in parallel you'll effectively have a 4R 150W speaker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
