    Has anyone had any experience with these SVT 10" speakers.... I bought two of these in un-used condition... I will put them in my 76' SVT 8x10 cab... Need to replace just two of the speakers in the cab... All comments welcome....

    The part numbers line up with the ampeg codes for an SVT 810E/410HE 10" 32 ohm speaker, odd that this says 26.5 ohm though? Unless that's not nominal impedance.

    Maybe it's the DC resistance?

    Probably 26.5 so a 6x driver application
    Is 4ohms not 5 ohms

    Don't matter you can fudge numbers any way you want so people don't freak out.

    Legend speaker is 32 ohms Nominal
    Lowest DC point or Re is Around 26/27 ohms

    Whatever reason the labeled it with Re not nominal. Again I'm guessing label same dam speaker at 32 or 26 depending on application lol.

    I thought the same but it would be odd to label for DC rather than impedance. The old CTS and eminence drivers were labeled 32 ohms, the later eminence were labeled 32 ohms, though I haven’t seen many late 80s drivers like this. Part number is right. Maybe grab a meter and see if it reads close to that DC.

    Generally that's the nominal impedance, and would be used for a 610 rather than an 810 IME

    The DC resistance measures about 26 Ohms, which is about right for the 32 Ohm Nom speaker Z ...
    So I can see this speaker is the 10324 spec .....
    JimmyM may have some info as well....
    Based on the codes of the label, this speaker was manufactured in May of 1989
    Thanks...
