witterth Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 (edited) Iv'e been offered a 4 ohm Trace elliot cab 2x10 and so,was thinking of looking for 4 ohm 4x10 or 1x15 to go with it, then have these powered by my (old) stereo mk v AH500 gp11 head (with a crossover setting/switch thing on the back) therefore running both cabs "full range" rather than hi-pass/low-pass is this possible? is this a bolix idea? do 4ohm 4x10/1x15 cabs-300w exist? and with a AH500 gp11 (made around 83/84 I think) will they deliver the good poke (matron) that the 8 ohm 4x10/1x15 cabs did? I'm not sure of the ohm/impedance maths on all this,I know my old (broken I think)cabs were 8ohm untill all this rarity of 4 ohm cabs and ohmage thing came to light I thought I was getting somewhere..now.. any Trace elliot gurus out there to help? I understand that most cabs up for sale are 8ohm,is that right? I want to get on with doing some playing ATB Witterth Edited August 31, 2009 by witterth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to get on with doing some playing ATB Witterth[/quote] Most are 8 Ohm, including 1048, 2103, 1153, 1818, 1518 etc. Only exceptions that I can think of (excluding the bright boxes!) are; 1524 (2x15") 1084 (8x10") The cab numbers run like this (generally speaking) [b] Driver diameter, Number of Drivers, Impedance [/b] Hence 1524 is [b]15[/b]" (x)[b]2[/b] [b]4[/b] Ohm I really can't recall what the V-type cabs were called, or what their impedance was! I think they did a 2x15, 4x12 and 4x8 at the very least. They may be worthy of investigation... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
