    Really...??? Was it Vox that had the legendary Fane alnico's? I don't doubt they made ceramics, but I've always heard amazing things about their alnico's.

    Hell, if you want a good ceramic, go Tone Tubby.



    the big 4x12 cabinets were ceramic. Most alnico's are found in open back configurations and yeah, that would be vox. The blue celestions and the alnico fanes. Probably supro and oh maybe selmer as well.

    Tone Tubbies rule, and JofZ says Eminence has a similar one too, I don't think MYAD wants to spend that much. I do wonder what an alnico fane would sound like in the Bulldog. Probably pretty sweet definately dirty.

    If you're combining two speakers, you'll want to wire them in parallel (series wiring tends to give a harsher sound). Wiring two speakers of the same impedance (ohmage) in parallel will cut the total impedance in half. So, if your amp is wired for an 8-ohm load, you'll want two 16-ohm speakers.

    To answer your previous question, you can convert your amp to a single 12", and might be able to convert it to a dual-10". The big thing is that you would need a new baffle (the piece of wood that the speaker is screwed into) cut for the amp. If you're any good with a jigsaw, it's not that hard to do.

    Here's a question for ya... does the internal speaker in your amp wire to a 1/4" jack, or is the speaker hard-wired to the amp? And does your amp have a separate external speaker jack? Maybe I'll go surfing on Peavey's site for ya...

    Edit: Peavey's telling me that your amp can work with an 8-16 ohm load. I'd guess your internal speaker is 16-ohm, and you can wire an external cab to the external output at 16-ohms, which makes the total load 8-ohms. Comprende?
    i don't believe the speaker is wired to a 1/4'' jack (this is from memory since i'm not at my place).

    i think i understand what you're saying about the ohm load. So basically if i wanted to use a cab with 2 speakers...then they'd have to be 16 ohm speakers and i would have no other options then, correct?
