I've never really understood why 4ohm 115/410/112 cabs are made, as I've always felt that they are designed to be in pairs or mixed with one another, and so should be 8ohm to come down to 4ohm total, unless you're running a 2ohm amp. More speakers = more air moved = louder. I suppose maybe if you're always running your amp at 11, maybe then it makes a bit more of a difference if you're running just one cab, provided the speak cone(s) have enough left to give?

I suppose you could use it for a double bass bow... -

How was Your rehearsal last morning or night ?

Well done and well deserved. Look forward to seeing the gig posts in the future. Dave -
IME the whole point of amps that can drive 4Ω loads is not that swapping your 8Ω cab for a 4Ω one will make it louder but the fact that you can run two 8Ω cabs which if done properly will give you twice the driver area which will be noticeably louder,
-
I might read the above like: Two speakers from the same manufacturer that look the same but have different impedances are two different speakers. Depending on the amp it is hard to say which speaker is really louder. Lower impedance may be harder load for the amp and therefore higher impedance cab can be even louder.

Another top drawer transaction from Mick. Superspeedy delivery too. I've said it before, and I'll say it again - he's a class act.

So in real world experience this wouldn’t appear much louder to the listener ??

Learning the bits is done. Working on the timing. Not sure I'll ever get the 'touch'.

This week: 1. What You Know by 2 Door Cinema Club Plectrum, clean, touch of Chorusaurus. 2. Just a Day by Feeder Plectrum, DP-3x bi-amp mix setting, touch of Chorusaurus. I'd not heard this before, it's a good un for getting a tone of your own. I have to learn my vocal bits too. Rehearsal tomorrow, gig next week.

That's lovely - IG650, just like the one in the catalogue. Hope you saw my link upthread for the Hohner/Moridaira guitars FB page!

Difference in volume 8ohms vs 4ohms
Bill Fitzmaurice replied to BassAdder60's topic in Amps and Cabs
It's not about watts, it's about voltage sensitivity. That's 3dB higher with 4 ohms, so with the same amp settings the 4 ohm speaker will be 3dB louder, assuming all the other T/S specs are the same, which they seldom are. 3dB is audible, but just. As for maximum SPL that's mainly determined by the cone displacement, T/S spec Vd. If Vd is the same maximum output will be the same, again if all the other specs are the same, which they seldom are. The 3dB increase in voltage sensitivity comes at the cost of drawing twice the current, which some amps don't deal with very well. -
