Hey all,
I have an all Vintage Club 50 3x10 combo amp. I've been toying with the idea of pulling the amp electronics and making a head out of it. The one concern I have is that there are 3 10" speakers in there rated at 16 ohms each, wired in parallel, which comes to an impedence of ~5.33 ohms (if I did the calculations right). I'm guessing that the amp's electronics are expecting an optimum load of 4 ohms. Does this sound right, or do you think that it is 8 ohms? I'm not sure, and I don't know of any way to test it.
Also, what is the standard way to actually make the bias adjustment? (just out of curiousity) Is there a pot or something that actually adjusts the voltage? Cellerdwellars question about bias pots (or, I guess, the lack thereof) in mesa's got me thinking.
Thanks!!
