Trying to Identify Model of Cabinet
« on: May 07, 2002, 05:28:00 pm »
I just recently acquired a Sunn 4x12 cabinet
I believe it's late 60's early 70's model
The 4 speakers say Sunn Transducer.
Pics are here:

Any ideas would be most helpful.
I checked the ohms rating on the cabinet and it seems to be 8. It is also in a parallel configuration.
I also have a new Sunn 412 which is rated @ 16 ohms parallel. Now do I run 16 or 8 ohms out of my head, when powering the cabs?

Salgo...

You might get better information by posting the pictures to a site that other people can access.

If you run the 16 ohm cabinet and the 8 ohm cabinet together, the 16 ohm cabinet, if the speakers are of the same effiency, will be half as loud as the 8 ohm cabinet.

Can't access the pictures.  If it's a tall cabinet, it's probably a Sceptre speaker cabinet.  They came in two versions.  The earliest was a flat baffle with staggered 12's.  The next version had a V shaped baffle with 2x12's on each side of the V.  Later they had cabinets that were similar to Marshall in size and shape, height and width appromately equal.
