Hey Chaps,
I'm about to begin building a pair of 2x12 cabs for a stereo set up.
I go from my Boss GT8 in stereo to a Peavey Classic 50/50 Tube Poweramp - which will feed 2 2x12 cabs!
I just need some advice on speaker selection and ohm's and wattage and all that stuff!
What is the ideal ohm/wattage speaker for the Peavey Poweramp- it has the following switching options for output:
Stereo output selection 4,8 or 16 ohms, 50w RMS each side, 28.3v RMS.
Would 16 or 8 ohm speakers be best? and why? Also which models would you suggest? I play Heavy metal/power metal stuff so have heard great things about Eminence - any models I should look out for?
One other thing, would the 2x12's be best horizontal (wide and low) or vertical with the top speaker angle up a bit (like an angled cab sawn in 2) - if you see what I mean? I think if they were verticle and angled it would be better for soudn projection? any ideas?
I'm competent at DIY/wiring but have never got into speaker ohms and all that stuff (yet) so I would appreciate explanations aswell as recommendations!
Thanks in advance everyone!
