do ampeg 610hlf and 810 have the same speakers?

[xshawnxearthx]

and if yes, why can't i plug up the ports on my 610hlf?

used to own an 810, sold it for dirt and purchased a 610. while it's great and all, i played an 810 again today and it sounded soo much better.

ugh.

I'm pretty sure they'd have to at least have diferent ohm drivers to both come out at 4 ohm cabs. The HLF is ported and the 810e is a sealed cab design, so again I'd imagine they'd be equipped with completely diferent drivers for that reason alone.

 

[xshawnxearthx]

i figured they would have to be different for that reason.

i wouldnt plug any ports on any cab. you instantly change your tuning and stray from the design. this can easily stress your speakers and will probably sound awful.

 

[the_ruckus]

by plugging the ports you are effectively ruining the tuning of the cab that you paid the extra price to have in the first place.

sounds like you should check into some sealed enclosures with the appropriate speakers.

my 610 had the same junky speakers throughout the cab, only the bottom 2 were ported.

the effective impedance was 6.3 ohms (i believe) at the input when i measured.

 

[xshawnxearthx]

yeah i'm just going to get rid of it.

All the speakers in the 610HLF are ported. You measured the DC resistance, not the impedance.

Spec wise on Ampeg's site, looks like each cab has the same speakers. From my experience with both speakers: they have a similar Ampeg vibe with the 610hlf being looser sounding and not as tight as the 810e. The 810e has that massive tone feel and is a little warmer sounding - at least to my ears.

I had a look inside my 610 and yes all the speakers are ported, the speakers are all identical 6 ohm speakers.

What do you mean all the speakers are ported? There's a separate port for each one?

 

[sedan_dad]

I always thought it had 4 sealed speakers and 2 ported speakers.

 

[heath_r_91]

Each row of the top speakers is in it's separate box with a port going down until the bottom two where the port goes out the front.

That means that all the speakers are ported.

I opened up my cab so I know for sure.

I was suprised at how light these speakers were, kind of unnerving...

Yes thats' right, every pair of speakers is in a chamber and there's a port hole for each speaker, all the ports push air out of the 3 ports in the front of the cab. like what heath says;
