Cab Handle
Is there any way to wire one 8 ohm speaker so that it is read as 4 ohms?
I have a 1x15 bass cab which can handle up to 600 watts. It is powered by a 550 watt at 4 ohms amplifier. Right now the amp only gives the cab 225 watts of power because it's reading the speaker in the cab as 8 ohms. I want to re wire it so the speaker is read at 4 ohms.
using a dummy load will not work as 1/2 the power will be lost as heat in the resistive load and the speaker will put out the same as it did.
8 ohms is 225 watts
4 ohms is 550
so two 8 ohms is parallel is still 225 a piece or 550 total, meaning if you use a dummy load your wasting 1/2 the power, use another 8 ohm speaker paralled at get more power.
