It's a snarling beast!!!
The two speakers have very different voicings. It's like two singers in harmony.
All new Monoprice Dual-Path/Dual Shield cables!!!@!!!

Oh sure if you want it to look nice
cost for the upgrade.......nothing had the jack in a recycled parts drawer
tone improvement 1000%

It’s not that big of a deal given the high input impedance of the amp. Measure the capacitance, that’s what really counts in effecting treble roll off.
Nice, but something tells me you’re never finished :dood:

There is some truth in that...

Good point...
I was just tripping out when I wasn't seeing values that I expected.
@Don O - would I want to use switched or non-switched jacks for this cabinet???
Here's some self-education reading I found about speaker cables...

Excellent work !! Inspired to pull the Jensen's out again. Have them both in oversize 1x12's currently.

Nice!!!!!!
The guy who bought my #1 DSL40C brought me the empty cabinet back. He converted it to a head with a Mission Engineering conversion cabinet.
I saved my 10 pound WGS Reaper 55hz speaker from that amp. If I can figure out how to make a lightweight front/upper panel, it will give me a single 12" extension cabinet for $0.00...
Oh, you are talking speaker cables, that’s a horse of a different color. Resistance in speaker cables will effect the output volume.
How are you wiring the cab? You posted it somewhere but I forgot where.
OP
Here's the diagram I used. Works correctly when the switch is activated, but in "8 ohm" the actual reading is about 7.2 ohms and in "16 ohm stereo" the actual reading is about 19.8 ohms.
OP
Honestly, I can't remember exactly.
With the Rocker switch In 'Mono' the right jack is totally disconnected and the readings on the left jack were just below 8 ohms.
When I throw the switch to 'stereo,' the value jumps up to a little over 16 ohms...
When the switch is in the stereo position measure both left an right as the speakers are now on separate signal chains. You are just measuring each speaker.
Also, in looking at the Cliff stereo switched jack, you could eliminate your switch by using the Cliff jack for the right jack and use its switches.

I was super disappointed with this Neutrik commercially made speaker cable...
I decided to build my own cable...
Funny that my home made cable does not have 14 ohms of resistance...
