Title: 5E3 Speaker input question Post by: Joisey on June 16, 2008, 02:00:19 PM Are they wired series or parallel? I have a 2x12 8 ohm cab and I have an 8 ohm 15" that I don't have a cab for yet. If parallel I would choose 4 ohm and series I would choose 16 ohm but how is the 5E3 wired?

I use that cab with a JTM45, an 18 watt lead channel clone and on occasion the 5E3 (in a Weber tweed cab). Can't say enough about Weber. Once I convert the 5E3 to 6L6's (KT66'S) ,via Mercury Magnetics, that 4 Ohm combination is gonna be SICK, as will be the 15A150 (great speaker btw), Sammy |
