  • Traynor ygm-2, connecting ext. cab. impedence questions

    So I've got an older Traynor YGM-2, not sure of the year, I'm not 100% sure this schematic is completely accurate either, but it's probably quite close, and it's all I can find for the YGM-2.

    My question is regarding running an ext cab in conjunction with the speaker in the combo cab. I pulled the stock marsland speaker out, and put an 8ohm WGS vet30 in place of it.

    Now my question is, If I hook up a speaker to the ext. cab output, I'm going to be running both in parallel it would seem.. Would Traynor have assumed that if you wanted to run the internal speaker as well as an external one, that you would replace the 8ohm speaker in the combo with a 16ohm speaker, and also get a 16ohm ext cab?
    Or is it possible/likely that the OT would handle 4ohm alright..

    Unfortunately I don't know much about the OT. What's a good way to figure this one out?

    Output transformer

    From the drawing it appears that you do not have additional taps on the secondary.
    Those jacks are in parallel.
    What was the resistance of the original speaker?
    What is the R of your ext. cab?
    If it appears to be a beefy transformer it will take it.
