How so, isn't it the other way around?The danger lies in putting too much impedance...
If you want to connect a 'bunch' of old speakers you will probably have to use a combination of series and parallel connections, to get to a sensible final value.What happens if you mismatch speaker impedances to a guitar amplifier? I have a bunch of old speakers and was thinking of putting them in a cabinet then plug in the amp. What about connecting them in series vs parallel?
What? You can answer "not a sentence" but you can't answer the question?How so, isn't it the other way around?
Won't I be safe putting a 16 ohm speaker to a 8ohm rated amp?
What would be the dif and why? I actually have a college degree in electronics engineering but it's been so long I've forgotten a lot.The danger lies in putting too much impedance...
Wait. What kind of guitar amplifier? Tubes or transistors for the output?
12#What? You can answer "not a sentence" but you can't answer the question?
I'm not going to spend my time telling you what the output transformer does to the output tubes if you won't even tell me whether you're using tubes.
NOT OP.Listen to #12. You can destroy a tube amp and a solid state amp by having the WRONG load impedance.
First things first. Specify what kind of amp it is, tube amp or solid state amp.
Well I don't know-I just have several lying around. I'm not asking for specifics. It did dawn on me to wire them up in such a way to get a comfortable load.Leon: a bunch means nothing. List how many of them with their individual impedances, and a decent matching can be sugested wiring them as an array, if you tell the amplifier output impedance too.
Is there any harm in letting the tube amp run with no guitar plugged in?Never run a tube amp with no speaker connected.
Just a couple small practice a 75watt Fender Jam and a 25 watt Peavy.Leon23,
What make/model is your amp ?
