is this 8ohm cab?

Total 8 Ohm, individual drivers are 16 ohm

This cab is now availabel for $300.

Tom, Bowlus, you CANNOT SAY NO TO THIS DEAL! You already have the tube head this cab was made for!

LOL! To be honest, that does look very appealing, but then I'd just have to go and find the matching 1x15 (or 1x18?).

If I can clear any more gear out of my basement, I'd love to have it, but man, I am trying to be "good" and trim things down a bit.

I remember the TE ad for this cabinet - this is the one that Mark King used like 8 of 'em at Hammersmith for like 9 shows in a row (sorry about not remembering specifics - it was 15 years ago!); when I worked for a TE dealer, this was the cab I REALLY wanted, but could never afford; now that I'm paying two house payments, I STILL can't get it!

CRAP!

I have the ad. I think I should post it.

Well since it is an 8 ohm cab the drivers would have to be 32 ohm right? Case in point a Ampeg 8x10(e) has eight 10's in it and it is a 4 ohm load meaning it has to have eight 32 ohm speakers right?

Peace,

Hi,
the two 10" drivers are 16 Ohm each, they are in parallel, so they give you 8 Ohm. The two midrange speakers are added though a high pass crossover, so at low frequencies they "don't count". At higher frequencies loudspeaker impedance is much higher than the 8 Ohm on the specs anyway, so its not a problem to add the two 5" drivers.

I don't know what impedance the Ampeg are using, but they may use 8 Ohm drivers - they may have 4 pairs of two 8 Ohm in series, and wire all pairs in parallel = 4 Ohm.

This cab sold recently on e-bay for $350 (in the UK), so $300 is a really good price.

I paid 1350 DM in Germany in 1990, at 1.55 or so that makes about $870.

Shipping should be less than $50 to mostly anywhere in the US.

Seems like a good deal to me. I'd do it if I didn't just buy a 2x10 from a TBer.
