I am trying to change out the speakers in my combo...They are each 16Ohms (a Weber Blue Dog and a Greenback). Now, there are two black wires which go into the plug and an orange wire that is run into nothing....I am assuming the black go + and the orange goes -, however, how many Ohms am I running when wired this way???
Cheers!
AD30TC combo speaker wiring....????

The only way it's going to work with your setup is to run the speakers in parallel. One of the black wires needs to go to BOTH pluses while the other black wire goes to BOTH minuses. Then you would have an 8 ohm load. If one of the speakers has double connectors on each + and - all you have to do is send a jumper wire over to the corresponding lug on the other speaker. Billy

Also, expect a loss in volume since those speakers aren't as efficient as the Vintage 30's that came stock. Those speakers rule in my opinion- way better than the cab with greenbacks that I also have. I'm also concerned that the difference in speakers will also result in you only hearing one of them- because one will probably be louder than the other. Still, it'll be a good experiment and I'm sure everyone who posts here will look forward to hearing how it sounds for you.
