610S question
« on: April 10, 2005, 08:37:04 pm »
Hey, I'm looking at getting the 610S listed on ebay here:

http://cgi6.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewSellersOtherItems&userid=matthewscavity

However, my tube amp head has an 8 ohm resistance and the cab has a 6 ohm resistance, will I run into problems? Also, is there any way to get the cab to have an 8 ohm resistance... Sorry, I'm kinda new at this stuff!

What kind of amp do you have?

Not unless you remove 2 speakers. Maybe if you got 32Ohm speakers and wired them either in parallel or series I forget which is which.

Anyone else have any ideas?

Considering that speaker impedances are anything but a constant value, I think the amp will handle it all right. I'd try it on the 8 ohm jack, myself.

If your amp can go to 4Ohm switch it to that.  With tube amps you can damage them pretty good by running wrong Ohm settings.  When it doubt set it lower than what it is rated for.

6Ohm set it to 4Ohm
2.7 Ohm (4 Ohm and an 8 Ohm cab together) set it to 2Ohm

It would still be nice to know what your amp is so I can get an idea of what you can do.
