Im looking for two new speakers for an old 2x12 I have.
I was gonna go for 2 celestion vintage 36's.

I want the cab to have an impedance of 8 ohms and I thought this would just be down to how I wired it....

But now I see the speakers are available in 8 4 and 16 ohms so Im completely confused as to which ones to get.............
 
my marshall 2x12 (2 x 75watt cellestions) has an impedance of 8 ohms.
 
First of all, Thomann are selling a Harley Benton 412vintage with 4 celestion vintage 30 speakers for €359, one Vintage 30 speaker costs €120 approx alone. (its also changable between 2,4,8 and 16ohms, for stereo, one speaker mono etc, etc). I got one in the post yesterday.

As Mark says his Marshall 2x12 runs at 8ohms, so does mine. My 1936 cab has 2 16ohm speakers that together run at 8ohms or in stereo at 16ohms. It is all about how you wire it.

also If it is of any use I reckon the Harley Benton has 8ohm speakers. Plus seeing as Vintage 30's have a sensitivity of 100dB it means they appear twice as loud as most normal speakers.

Cheers Sparse,

I already have a 2 x 12 with celestions that runs at 8 ohms.

I want to put two vintage 30's into my other 2 x 12 because the speakers are knackered.

I know about the wiring but the actual speakers themselves are available with different impedances?????
Are you saying this is changeable??



edit---just read your post properly cheers Sparse.
