8 ohm 6x10

[Calaverasgrande]

Well I was looking at the Schroeder site today while working on some computers. They have a nice little 6x10 at 8 ohms.
Interesting. I have never seen an 8 ohm 6x10.
Are these the ony guys that make one? Anyone out there in TB land rocking one of these with a TOOB amp?
And of course this begs the question....why not two of these for 12x10"!

i dunno. tbh id pair it with a 2x15 at 8 ohms.

[Calaverasgrande]

haha, and dont you know I happen to own a nice 8 ohm 2x15!

[Calaverasgrande]

Maybe I shouls pick up one 6x10 and run it with the 2x15 while I save for a 2nd 6x10?
Fear my 12x10"!
Actually I think I might pick up a smaller Schroeder to see if I like their design approach before I commit to that.

Buy a used one. You can sell it for what you get it for if you don't like it.

I've had a Schroeder 4 ohm 1200W 4x10 neo for several years now. They're loaded with Eminence speakers made to Jorg's specs.

I push it with SWR preamps, amps and crown amps...KIller tone..lots of lows and weighs 58 pounds.

Jorg is a bass player and makes killer cabs.

Maybe it has 16 ohm drivers wired to achieve a 10.67 ohm load and they just call it 8 0hms. Impedance isn't linear across the frequency spectrum so it's possible that an 10.67 ohm average has a low of 8 ohms at a particular frequency.

Seems you could run 2 sets of 4ohmers in series, and then hook those up in parallel.=4ohms
Run one set of 8 ohmers in parallel=4ohms
Then run the 4+4 in series=8ohms

This is a 6x10. The whole point of the thread was that the numbers aren't exactly 4 or 8 ohms with 8 or 16 ohm drivers.

Look above..that's 6 speakers..a set would be 2 speakers.......2+2+2

This one hurts my brain a little. Your math seems correct but I think the 8 ohm drivers would be getting more signal than the 4 ohm drivers, making the cab no more useful than a 4 x 10 in output.

That's 8 ohms alright, but the power distribution is not equal to each speaker. The two 8 ohm drivers will be quieter than the four 4 ohm speakers.

I have read elsewhere that they can order drivers with 12ohm impedance for these 6 driver cabs. At least that was the explanation for the 4 ohm 6x10 cabs. I suppose they could get 24 ohm drivers? Or maybe I have it backwards. I have to use pen and paper to figure out electricity usually.

5.3Ω can be marketed and sold as 4Ω as well as 8Ω.

I can see a 5.3 ohm cab being marketed as 4 ohms but who markets a 5.3 ohm cab as 8 ohms?

Nominal impedance of an 8 ohm driver (or cab) tends to be closer to 6 ohms if you measure on a multimeter.

Strike two for you my friend! How does this statement answer my question (who markets a 5.3 ohm cab as 8 ohms)? Today is not your day...................

DC resistance is not quite the same as nominal impedance.
