Vs 16 Ohms?
I’m demoing a 2x12 cab with V30 clones in it, not sure what brand, probably some Chinese knockoff speakers...there are no labels on them. Not the best quality I’m sure. At any rate, the speakers are 8 ohm each, cab wired at 16 ohm. My amp is a DSL40C, not the CR. In my combo, with one 8 ohm 75 W Creamback in, the amp is, to me, noticeably louder and has more dynamics than when I unplug the internal speaker and plug in the extension cab. The extension can still sounds good, I just have to turn up the amp volume to get to the same room level as before.
Also, with the Creamback, standing in front of my amp on channel 1 Red, gain at 2:00, volume at 3, I can hold an A chord and it will just develop into the most glorious feedback. It will not do that plugged into the 2x12, even with the volume on 5. It’s just a little more dull and bland with the 2x12.
Is it possible that my amp just sounds better at 8 ohms? If so, next question is can two 8 ohm speakers be wired to run at 8 ohms? (I am terrible at electrical stuff, sorry). If so, will they sound ok wired like that? Like my amp at 8 ohms, or am I looking at having to replace the speakers to get a good 8ohm sound? Parallel vs Series and all that jazz.
If I buy this cab, I my plan is to put my 75W Creamback in the cab, to replace one of the V30 clones, especially if it can be rewired to run at 8 ohm and sound good. Then I have a 65W Creamback in 16 Ohm that I will sell to get either another 65w Creamback or another 75w Creamback, but probably 65w, to have a mix of speakers in the cab.
Looking forward to your input.
