rewiring my carvin cab from 4 ohm to 8 or 16 ohm

[kaboomtoys]

ok, the wife shut me down, no more speakers. so now im rewiring my carvin 412 cab all 15 ohms speakers c50's to iether 16 or 8 ohm. the way they are wired now is a pos and neg wire goin from speaker to speaker and ending on the last speaker. i dont see anything like it on the diagram prvided in my other post. how do i rewire it to one of the 8 or 16 ohms?
thanx again all.

A 16 ohm cab always offers up more options than a 4 ohm. Actually, I've never even heard of a 4 ohm guitar cab!

I think there were a lot of 4 ohm cabinets in the 80s when solid state amps were cool. Other than that, there's no use for them! HA!

I have a Marshall 2x12 that was originally a 4 ohm cab with an 8 ohm stereo option. Rewired the speakers and removed one of the inputs - Voila - 16 ohm cab.

...probably designed to go with one of those valvestate amps. Just thinking if solidstate Marshalls makes me feel all dirty!
