Ok here goes,
I have two Ashdown Mag cabs a 15" & 4x10", both 8ohms. I have an Eden WT800A with a bridged output running 800Watts at 8ohms. Now i know when i link the two Ashdown cabs together i get 4ohms but i need to somehow get 8ohms . Now i want to use both cabs as i need at least 500W with head room on stage (yes i know its bloody loud but i'm playing with some reggae guys where bass is everything + they/we have a monster soundsystem which the drummer puts his Roland TD20 through...and is quite possibly the loudest electronic drummer i've ever played with-turning down is not an option!).
So can i get 8ohms doing some weird and wonderful wiring, if so how? Could i add another cab, say a 2x10 and magic a total impedance of 8ohms from somewhere? I can even goto 6ohms if needs be coming in on the Eden but unfortunately not as low as 4ohms. Eden unfortunately no longer do the tech mod on these amps that they were offering many moons ago whcih converted the bridge out put from 8ohms @ 800W to 4ohms @ 1200....if anyone has info on this mod i'd like to hear.
Also if i put a multimeter, on resistance, across a speaker would it show the ohmage of that speaker i.e 8ohms or 4 ohms etc...actually i think that's a silly question as it impedance right?
Help the dyslexic electronics people here...even though ironically i studied electronics at 17 but slept most the time
