Peavey 8x10 ohms?

[stevebago]

I have a peavey 8x10 cabinet that i just purchased from a friend.
It is from the early 90's (old logo and silver side rails models)

I was wondering if anyone else has this cab and if they know what the wattage/ ohms are for this cab. The plate on the back has been removed leaving no info on the cab except for the speakers but before I go opening things up, I figured I'd ask.

Thanks

I had a TVX 8x10 and it was a 4 ohm box ...as to the power rating ...go to Peavey.com and search the archives section ..I just can't recall the power rating ...by the way, I did use a Firebass 700 with it, and it was a shaking amp of Missippi mud sound

thanks thats what i was thinking but i couldnt find anything in their archives. Sounds great. I prefer it to my ampeg 6x10 for heavy sounds. Really has a lot of full deep sound.

It's not a TVX cabinet. Those had no silver stripes. It's got to be 4 ohms.

Ahhhh...true... well its not a TX then because they didnt have the silver stripes either...nor did the TXF's did they?

 

[stevebago]

It definitely doesn't have a horn, so the tvx is out.
It's most likely 4 ohms which really answers my question, but maybe my dating is a little off. This may be a mode from the late 80's. It doesnt have a tilt back design for the wheels. It actually had casters under it but I removed them and modded the cab so that I could make it tilt back for easier transporting.

None of the T series had stripes. I believe it was TX, TXF, TVX etc...all plain black.

I'm guessing late 80's as well, because I had bought my first TX cabinets in 90, 91 and they were all black and carpeted, then the tolex versions came after.

I'd give the Peavey forum a quick visit, there is a guy on there from Peavey who seems to know his stuff.

I'd love to see a picture of this cab!

There's a local seller with a Peavey 6 X 10 (older cab with silver rails) that I'm tempted to look at, but I believe it's a guitar cab (seller advertises as a bass cab but the serial number has a "G" which I assume is for guitar ).

I wonder if it would still work for bass though.
