Gibson GA2 RVT Speaker Impedance
« on: October 05, 2015, 12:55:21 pm »
Does anyone know the output transformer speaker impedance?
I can find no info on speaker or transformer impedance. Schematic does not show it either.

if amp was equipped with a single speaker, then very likely 8 ohm.


measure OT to be sure.

The amp did have a single 15" speaker and i was thinking 8 0hms. But have to be sure. Very interesting video on transformers. Thanks much.
