About to wire 8x10 cab, will this result in 4 ohms?

[Edword]

My speakers are 8 ohms, as below



The cab is 8x10, so if I wire the other set of four the same as above and then wire both sets to the jack, will that result in a total cab impedance of 4 ohms?

TIA

The diagram you show is 8 Ohms total. So if you wire two of them in parallel, then the total impedance will be 4. Yes.

Thanks! I'll get to soldering then.

Notice MOses said, "if you wire two of them in parallel".

The corollary being if you accidentally wire the two groups in series then the resulting cabinet will be 16 ohms.

Thanks for the tip. I'll check it with my multimeter before plugging in an amp.

I came in here and before reading anything I was going to reccomend this.
