Need help dating 18" Vega Speaker

[So It Goes]

Greetings: I have two 18" Vega speakers. Can anyone help me date these speakers and provide any specs you can provide (watts,ohms, etc.)? Thanks!

this link should help. Invalid Link Removed

you can hook up a multimeter to read the resistance/ohms of the speaker. An "8ohm" speaker usually reads between 5 and 7 ohms on an ohm-meter.

I dated a chick named VEGA once. or was that in the back of a VEGA... I was drinking.

15th week of 1984?

Well you said it was 18 so it's legal to date.

The 18" CV that I owned at one time was 3.2Ω for some strange reason.

the old original 4ohm 18" vega in my Sunn cab measures 3.2ohms DCR.

 

[BassmanPaul]

Yes but this was stamped 3.2Ω on the label. As I said a little odd!

yeah, that's a new one to me too! did you ever measure it with a volt/ohm meter to see what it really was?

No I didn't think of doing that. Too late now!
