Where did you come up with 5.3 ohms? The only way you could come up with that in ser/par is if the speakers are 5.3 ohms each. If THAT IS the case. it will not hurt at all to run it that way. The amp will take a 100% mismatch and still do fine. You won't even notice the difference at 5.3. Still would like to know how you came up with that figure though. Mike. |

He's right... the schematic shows 6 8-ohm speakers wired as 3 parallel 16 ohm loads. |

Damn, I didn't even SEE the part about 6-10's! I had 4-12's in my head and as usual, shot my mouth off without reading closer. Oh well. Mike. |

No problem Mike. It's no wonder 6x10 cabs aren't that common, although SWR makes one called the Goliath Senior that is listed as 4 ohms. Maybe they put some resistors in there to drop the ohmage or something. |
