Topic: Building own Speaker Cab
As a broke guitarist in need of more power, my summer project is an open back 4X12 cab. I want to buy amp head with about 100watts to go with it. I realized the main problem with my plan is speaker selection.
Ohms? Watts? Sensitivity? Does anyone know of a straightforward article that explains the specs on a speaker and how they should match up on my amp?
Other websites and forums I've visited send mixed messages about everything. One guy (or girl) says amp watts have to be higher than the speakers rating. Another person says the amp needs lower wattage. I even found a post saying watts don't matter at all and ohms are the only important thing. All these post sound like a friend I have who "Knows-it-all" about speakers, LOL.
Anyways, if anyone can shed some light on my dilemma it would be greatly appreciated.
