The speakers I'm getting off my friend...
...they come from a Marshall JTM60 (3x10 version)
I just found out the exact make:
5.3Ω Marshall Heritage Eminence LE10-508 speakers
does the fact that they are 5.3Ω, make it impossible to wire up for use with my Tremolux 2x10 combo cab?
many thanks in advance

Re: The speakers I'm getting off my friend...
Hmm .. trying to do the maths in my head I don't think you're going to get to 4Ω.
In series will be 10.6Ω and in parallel .. I don't even know .. 2.6Ω?
However, Fender amps are usually happy with a factor of 2 either way, so it should cope up to 8Ω or down to 2Ω. It just might not sound its best, I'm guessing?

If you got all 3 and wired 2 in series and one paralell to that you should get 3.54 ohms.

Hey yeah, I didn't click there were three of them. That would be very cool .. like a blonde version of the tweed Bandmaster.
However, I think you've already got the 2x10" cab sorted, right? Impossible to squeeze another 10" speaker into that ..

Or get a single 10" cab and put in in parallel with the other one. You too could own a stack! Rock on!

I'd love to, but I'm broke
as it is I had to stick this cab on my credit card...only did that because the band's gonna start gigging frequently now
but once I'm a RAWK star, I'll buy 20 cabs!!!!!
