Need help wiring up a cab!

[moog1000]

Ok I need help again!

I've got a Marshall 2x12 cab that I want to change the speakers in, but I'm not sure on the following:

Can I mix speakers with different power ratings/impedences? If so, what affect does this have on the total wattage of the cab and how would I need to wire it up - series or parallel? How would I calculate the impedence of the cab?

Thanks in advance

Re: Need help wiring up a cab!

You can mix speakers with different power ratings, but not with different impedences. ALL of your speakers must be 8ohm, 16ohm, ect. If you have 2 speakers rated at 75 watts, the total wattage of your amp is 150w. A 25w and a 75w have 100w total.

There is supposedly a difference (albiet slight) in tone regarding parallel vs series. Can't remember how that goes, someone else will have to chime in on wiring....I'm retarted when it comes to that.
