| Need advice on adding an ext speaker cab for 1980 Peavey Mace
I have a 1980 Peavey Mace VTX w/ 2- 12" Black Widows (original spkrs). The manuals are confusing... one Mace manual says I can add a 4 ohm load which would create full 2 ohm power and states the Mace has a 4 ohm output on the orig spkrs. A Mace/Deuce manual states that 8 ohm or 4 ohm loads can be added. My Mace has 1 Main and 1 Aux jack that is labelled 4 ohms. So I'm assuming adding a 4 ohm cabinet is perfect. This would give me 160 watts @ 2 ohms. Can someone recommend a good nowadays 4-12 cab to use and how to rewire since all new cabs seem to be 16 ohm? Thanks! |

16 ohm 4-12 cabs have 4 16 ohm speakers. They are wired in series - parallel. wire all the speakrs in parallel and the impedance will be 4 ohms. Might want to check the forum for threads concerning wiring speakers.
