4 ohm cab into 8 ohms

[Steve S]

I have a 4 ohm EA 112 Wizzy speaker and would like to convert it into an 8 ohm speaker so that I can connect it to my Carvin MB 115. Is this possible?

[mmbongo]

Yep, just replace the speaker with an 8 ohm.

I somehow suspect that *wasn't* the answer he was hoping for!

Unfortunately, its the only answer... Unless of course he bought another 112 wizzy, and connected them in series..

Only by selling it and buying an 8 ohm version.

I bet he could get a good price for that 12" 4 ohm driver, but why? Carvin?

Darn! I gotta replace the speaker? Jeez that sure wasn't the answer that I was looking for. Thanks for the replies guys. I guess I better look for something else...

I'm downsizing and have no plans to gig anymore so have gotten rid of most of my big stuff. I've never had a Carvin before and this one seems to work well. Very small and compact for the little jams that I go to..

This is why buying a 4ohm cab sucks about 90% of the time.

I'm a firm believer that all cabs should be 8 ohms. Makes it easier to daisychain, & if you aren't daisychaining you're still putting all the amp's power into the 1 cab.
