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

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 ..

yeah...I'm afraid the cab I bought will be 2x10...
ah well...so I'll have to get some new Jensens then.
this will lead me to my next thread.....

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!!!!!

i would go for some webers, their jensen reproductions are every bit as good if not better.

I'm real happy with the Weber I've got in my Champ.
