Members bholder Posted January 20, 2007 Members Share Posted January 20, 2007 Put another 8 ohm cabinet in parallel with the existing 8 ohm cabinet, and you have a 4 ohm load. If it's a one speaker cabinet, and you don't want to add an extra cabinet, then replacing the speaker is the only option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it possible to have two 4 ohm cabs, My power amp has a 2 ohm min loadIt is a 1 speaker cab Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You will have to replace the speakers to make the cab 4 ohms. Just out of curiosity what is the amp? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ZenMoto Posted January 21, 2007 Members Share Posted January 21, 2007 A 4 ohm replacement speaker may not be easy to find...If it's more output from your rig that you seek...I'd go with another 8 ohm cab and that'll bring your rig down to 4 ohms.

Not from eminence, their speakers come in 18" and 800 watts See i really dont want to sell my avatar, the ampeg cab was given to me and it looks like {censored}, it was a stupid trade for it and $800 bucks for my LP, but its to late to worrie about that, so im going to replace the speaker and make the most of it. Im not worried about more output I have two channels both 750 watts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
