dem00n Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 For wiring a guitar cab do you just simply put the hot of the speaker to the hot of the output jack and the ground to the ground of the output jack? Sounds to easy. Only going for 4 Ohm's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bender 4 Life Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 I think you're supposed to use wires in between, but yep, you got it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dem00n Posted May 26, 2012 Author Share Posted May 26, 2012 I think you're supposed to use wires in between, but yep, you got it! What do you mean? Like wiring both ground and hot on the jack then to the speaker? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest farnsbarns Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 Yeah. In that case, yes, connect 1x4ohm speaker using some reasonable quality, thick speaker cable, hot to hot and gnd to gnd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stein Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 For just a single speaker, yes. (+) goes to tip and (-) goes to sleeve. Most speakers are marked, but some aren't. And a few are marked backwards. If you don't know which terminal on the speaker is the (+) or (-), use a 9 volt battery and connect to the speaker. the cone will move. Note which way the cones moves. If it moves out when the + terminal of the battery is on the + terminal of the speaker, it is correctly in-phase. If the speaker is not marked, simply mark it yourself when you figure out which is which. If you are dealing with multiple speakers, then you have to determine if you need to wire then series or parralel or whatever to achieve the proer impedence.
