blunderthumbs Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 Some guy is selling a Trace elliot GP7 Sm 250w 2x10 combo for £99 without speakers. If I bought it what speakers should I put into it and what ohms? 2 x 8 ohms or 2 x 16 ohms???. Thanks, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, 2 x 8Ω speakers wired in parallel would do the job nicely... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The combos come with 8ohm load from factory to alow adding another 8ohm cab. The original speakers are Celestion C10H-100 @ 16Ohm, not easy to find though... a lot of the 8Ohm type usualy show up here and there from guys who managed to blow up their 4x10's, if you don't think in adding an ext cab then you could go for it and get the full power of that great amp (but who is crazy enough to do that!!!) - Yes! I used to have one Is the horn still there? It's a Fostex, very great sounding thing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkBassChat Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 (edited) You have three options: 1. Find original 16 Ohms speakers. They are difficult to find but if you search for Trace Elliot service in UK, you will find a guy who most probably will be able to help you. When I contacted him a year ago, he had horns used in TE 1225. 2. Buy old 8 Ohms speakers and convert them to 16 Ohms (sevral companies can do it - and it's not expensive). 3. Fit 8 Ohms speakes but then you will not be able to use an extension cab. I would personally go for the option #2.
