I have a speaker I found laying around that says it's 16ohm but it reads 12.2ohm, is it close enough?

Re: Ohm question
While I had the meter out I put it on my 16ohm G12T-75 and it read 23.9ohm. WTF?!LTD M-50 W/ AHB-1 Blackouts.

Re: Ohm question
A speaker coil is basically a large inductor. As such, the 16ohm reading refers to impedance, not resistance. (Impedance is similar to resistance but includes a phase component) Your meter is reading ohms of resistance. All that being said, I think your 12 ohm resistance speaker is fine.

Rule of thumb... the more pot you have, the better your tone.

Re: Ohm question
There is very little resistance in a short length of speaker wire + internal connections. I doubt if you'd get it to even show on a meter at any setting. Needless to say, this is all part of what the amp sees anyhow so is the most accurate for settings.
