I'm wanting to change the speaker in my Marshall mx112r 1x12 cab and it's currently got a 16 ohm seventy 80 in it and I'm want to put in a 8 ohm speaker in the cabinet. Is it as simple as replacing the speaker with a different one or is it more complicated than that to put in a speaker with a different ohm resistance? Sorry if this is a dumb question but I've never done this before. Thanks for any help on this matter.

You should replace the speaker with the same ohm reading. You can get away with using speakers with different ohms on solid state but not tube amplifiers. -
Is it not possible to replace the speaker in the cabinet with a different ohm speaker? I can plug it into the correct ohm jack on the amp. To clarify I'm asking about changing the speaker in a cab not an amp. Thanks for the response.Originally posted by idsnowdog View PostIt's funny how some stories became historic,

MX112R is just a cabinet. He can replace with an 8ohm speaker as long as he matches it with the impedance selector (or matching output jack) on the amp.Originally posted by idsnowdog View PostComment

Yes, he can put whatever ohm speaker he wants in a cab. But he should still keep in mind what ohms the amplifier can run at and whether the speaker is being run alone, series, or parallel with another speaker. https://www.bustedgear.com/faq_Speaker_wiring.htmOriginally posted by misterwhizzy View PostComment

The answer being "as long as you match the impedance of the output of the amp".
Just remember, an 8ohm speaker isn't as tight as a 16 ohm.

Just make sure and write the new ohms on the back of the cab. Just use a piece of duct tape to cover the old label and write on that.

Why do you want to go to an 8 ohm?

Probably because he already has an extra 8ohm speaker laying around. (?)Originally posted by Demanic View PostComment

Because the 16-ohm is a Seventy 80.Comment

I want to put in an 8 ohm speaker so I can hook it up to my other cab (2x12 v30's) which passes 8 ohms to the other cab and my fender amp I just got only passes 8 ohms.Originally posted by Demanic View PostIt's funny how some stories became historic,

huh?
two 8 ohm cabs in parallel are 4 ohms.Comment

I asked Harley Benton who made the can and they said that the through jack on my 2x12 cab will pass 8 ohms to the cab it is hooked up to.Originally posted by jeremy View PostIt's funny how some stories became historic,

If this is not true I can still hook the 1x12 up to the other speaker jack on the amp but I'd like to know before I try hooking the 2cabs up. What would happen if you hooked up a speaker with the wrong ohm resistance?Originally posted by jeremy View PostIt's funny how some stories became historic,
