Figured I would post this here as well:



Using a 47k connected to the 8 ohm tap on my 50w build, is there a cabinet load (4,8 or 16) that sounds better or has any advantage over the other.

The reason I ask is that I am going to buy a couple of Scumbacks for a 2x12, and typically I buy 8 ohm speakers so with a 2x12 I have the option of parallel for 4 ohms or series for 16 ohms. Or would it be better to get 16 ohm speakers in parallel for an 8 ohm load?

Thanks for the input!

i like 47k to 8ohm tap nfb, but I use a 4 x 12 cab, the speakers are wired series-parallel for total load of 16 ohms

My cab is 4 ohms and I have often wondered if it sounds that much different than being wired to 16ohms in series parallel or whatever was the better sounding way. Jim from Scumback sure has an answer to this one too.
