NEED SPEAKER HELP!

[Myth_103]

So I'm about to venture into the world of building my own 8x10. I have a few questions before I start though.

1) How does hooking 8 10" speakers affect the ohm rating? Do I need a specific ohm for a the speakers so they'll be within a usable range for an amp?

2) What's a good NEODYMIUM brand to look into? I want the BEST sounding and playing speaker I can find. And yes, I'm expecting it to be rather expensive. haha.

3) And finally, when all the speakers are wired together, does the frequency range of all the speakers as a whole change any? I've noticed that some speakers only range from around 60hz-2500hz or whatnot. Would the 60 vary any? And if not, how long would the speakers need to be able to handle a low B on a 5 string?

I know these may all be dumb questions, but I'm new at this. I need the experienced guys' help! Thanks a lot! Remember. SPEAKERS. I need good ones.

Why build if cash is not much issue? You could refinish an old SVT or peavy 810 cab cheap.

Or get a Carvin 810 for less than you could build an 810 with the same level of drivers.

You're asking far too many elementary questions to be considering building your own. Before wasting a lot of time and money do some reading, like this:

Once you've gained an understanding of how speakers work you may very well decide that an 8x10 isn't such a good idea anyway.
