John Zermani Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 The literature for old (68-69) Cornwalls says they're 16 ohm speakers. Is this true? I know the woofer in the K-horn is supposed to be 4 ohms even though the speaker is rated as 8 ohms. Is the woofer for the Cornwalls a different impedance from the midrange and tweeter? Thanks!

BigCliff Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 Check out this site it should answer all your questions. It is also a very helpful tool if you are wiring mutiple speakers. http://www.duncanamps.com/technical/impedance.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malcolm Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 The 16 ohm value is a nominal value. It just gives an idea of what the typical impedance is. The impedance actually varies by frequency. The woofer, squawker and tweeter each have their own nominal impedance and impedance curve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
