sjaguar13 Posted March 16, 2004 Report Share Posted March 16, 2004 So my brother has some Celestions and a cabinet, but how would we put them in? We're thinking a series and parallel thing. The speakers are 8 ohms and we want an 8 ohm cabinet. Also, what kind of wire should we use? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jammy Posted March 16, 2004 Report Share Posted March 16, 2004 series youll get 16 ohm, parralell youll get 4 ohm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbkim Posted March 16, 2004 Report Share Posted March 16, 2004 2x12, 4x12? With the 4x12, you can get 8 ohms total with series/parallel wiring (2 pairs of series wired speakers wired in parallel.) From: http://colomar.com/Shavano/4x12wiring.html Internal Wire If your speakers will see 500 watts or less, use 18 or 16 gauge (AWG) wire. If your speakers will see 500 watts or above, use 16, 14 or 12 gauge (AWG) wire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jammy Posted March 16, 2004 Report Share Posted March 16, 2004 very true I dont know why, but i just presumed it was a 2x12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hotrock Posted March 16, 2004 Report Share Posted March 16, 2004 I think Baltic Birch ply is quite commonly used. Have a look on www.18watt.com They have quite a few threads about cabs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hotrock Posted March 16, 2004 Report Share Posted March 16, 2004 ooops, you said WIRE not WOOD, sorry dude, it's been a long day at work I'd still have a browse over at 18watt though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
