I am restoring an orange 6x12 cab. Does anybody know what impedance it was rated at originally? The little "ohm tag" is missing.
I am going to put six 16 ohm greyback celestions in it. what are my options for the final impedance? Is 4 or 8 ohms possible? Any tips on working with the basketweave grill cloth would be welcome.

so the total impedance would be 5.33Ohms so you could jack it into the 4Ohms.....I know its an diffrence of 1.33Ohms but my Marshall works fine with this technique since 1999....but bigger wearing of tubes.....never blew a tube or fuse....BUT I AM NOT SURE IF YOU SHOULD TRY THIS....MAYBE somebody else knows if this is possible..
Why is an ORANGE, orange? If it would be Green it would be an apple....
