Al Heeley Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 Can you tell me how the Hartke 4 x 10 cabs are normally wired? (eg: 400W Hartke 410XL cab) Is it 4 x 8ohm speakers wired in S+P to give 8 Ohm total resistance? Is it possible to rewire them to give a total 4 Ohm impedance thus get more power from the amp?

Being an ex-Hartke cab owner, I can tell you: Yes it is as you describe and no, I'm afraid you can not get a 4 Ohm impedance from any config using all 4 speakers.

Al Heeley Posted January 8, 2010 Author Share Posted January 8, 2010 Thx Dood, 'tis as i suspected, but always worth asking here! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hartke_UK Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 Yes, all of the Hartke 4x10 cabs are wired using 8 ohm drivers, 2 in series and then paralleled up to give a total of 8 ohm. This is true of the VX410 XL410 Hydrive 4x10 AK410 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Heeley Posted January 11, 2010 Author Share Posted January 11, 2010 (edited) OK, I'll start saving for the XL 1 x 15 :/ Very happy with the sound of the cab by the way, nice punchy tight but I need a roadie to cart it about Edited January 11, 2010 by Al Heeley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
