Question:
Apologies in advance for stupid questions/long post: Just bought two 12" Fender special design speakers at a flea market- they had been mounted as bass speakers for the back of a camaro-paid $30 (plus 72 used golf balls-I live near a course) for both. The crazy dude I bought them from demoed them through a 240 watt car-stereo, they sounded pretty clean, so I took a chance. They are 16 ohms each, and I think, manufactured by Eminence-codes: 67-8604/021302, ceramic magnets. I own a ‘72 Vibrolux Reverb-2 10" speakers-4 ohms each (original-Oxford). I also have a 4-10" cab w/Oxford (8 ohms each) 10k5-S…(rest is hidden by magnet cap, held in place with one screw-can I remove this without damaging the speakers?), code on them is 465-449. What I’m trying to figure out is if I can somehow connect the 2 12" speakers to my amp, preferably by themselves, or in some configuration with the other speakers. I also need to know the power rating on the Eminence speakers.- The Vibrolux has 2×4 ohm speaker inputs, so of course, I want to match the impedance. I’m trying to improve my sound, and am saving money (maybe I should have saved the $30-let me know) to buy a couple of speakers from Weber (Ted?) who has already given me some valuable advice. In the meantime, I’m looking for two more bargain-priced 16 ohm speakers-then I’d know what to do. Thanks for your patience, and advice. Jimmy
Response:
Correction on Vibrolux-total ohms load via both jacks should be 4 ohms–
