i'll take second dibs on this in case boo drops out - can pop over and get it whenever

Ok, cheers guys. I'll give it a go at 5.3Ohms in parallel, and see how it sounds. I'd assume that the speaker receiving 66% of the power will be the 8 ohm one, with the 16 getting 33% ? If its awful, i'll just go back to it being a 1 speaker cab until I can grab another 8 or 16 driver. Cheers, Ben

Yep, but i'm useless at performing mathematical calculations myself, I kind of dropped that after GCSE Maths and am not sure quite how to apply the equations correctly anymore. Like I said, I did look at the link to the calculator program, but its Excel based, which I do not have...

Hey, just trying to work out impedance with two different speakers im putting into an old 2x12 cabinet. At the moment its got one speaker in it, from a Fender guitar amp. This speaker is 8ohms. Just inherited an old combo that has a 16ohm Eminence driver in it. Im not too fussed that theyre unmatching, and it might sound a bit rubbish, as im just using it as a basic cabinet for bedroom practise, but i'd like to have the 2 drivers in it rather than its sorry 1 driver situation as of the moment. What options do I have for it, if I wire in parallel or series? I would run the calculator thats on the wiki, but thats in excel format, and I dont have excel nor a use for it at any other time... To summarise, what are my options regarding overall ohm rating of the cab, combining an 8 and 16 ohm speaker? Cheers for any help Ben.

Something very practical, and used by a lot of big touring artists, mainly on guitar combos as they generally use 8x10s for bass which you don't need to stack, is to get a metal flightcase for your cab. Not only does it protect it during transit, it takes barely any more space in the car/van as its just slightly larger than the cab it contains. Take the cab out of the case, close the case back up, then pop the cab on top of it. Sorted! Poor picture, but you can see this setup in place all over this stage, i've crewed for Razorlight and they had tons of Cornford guitar amps on top of their cases

Hey, just found a news page featuring some new Orange equipment. I know they released the bass terror head a little while ago, however now they seem to have made a series of cabs featuring speakers positioned in line, behind one another... Also an 8x10 cab which I know people have been after for ages!

Iain is a legend. He gave me a great deal on a multicore and some other assorted leads, and was happy to post it off before i'd actually sorted payment - lost my chequebook. It arrived swiftly as promised in perfect condition, nicely packed. Great communication, im certain i'll be going back for more

Unless its got an impedance selection switch like the Marshall 1960 4x12 guitar cabs... you can set which way its wired on the back.

What are you going to be running through these monitors? Just vocals, or other instruments as well?
