Speaker ohms question.

[Truss_rod]

Ok tech dudes, I have a Roland Micro Cube with four 4" speakers and my granddaughter took it upon herself to stick a toy in the grill and poked a hole in two of the speakers. I don't want to replace it with 4" speakers but I want to upgrade it to a single 10". I have searched and search for the ohms and cant find it nor is it written on the back of the speakers. Does anybody know what speaker I can use as far as ohms? I want to build a new cap is why I want a 10" instead. Thanks guys....

Can you tell how its wired? Series or parallel? Is it stereo?

If it is wired as original you can remove the two speaker wires and then use a multi-meter to measure the resistance at the points where you removed the speaker wires.

Just found out, thanks for the quick replies. They are 8 ohms.

Excellent Catch!!!

Four 4" 8 ohm speakers are most likely wired series parallel for an 8 ohm total impedance...

and if a combined 8Ω load, reading in Ω across the combined 4 spkr at the plug / connection point to the amp will read somewhat less than 8Ω, maybe 5.6 to 6.6 Ω.

Thanks guys.
