I have a Kustom 100 combo amp. Model# K100C-7. according to your site I believe it is a Kustom SC. 2 12inch speakers. Im having trouble finding a schematic for it. My question is what do the ohms of my speakers need to be at. Someone had it wired for 4 ohms. Is this correct or should I wire my speakers for 8 ohms. This amp has two channels one with tremolo and reverb and speed and depth. I also need a side handle for it or at least the black plastic part of it. Where can I get one? Thanks

Hi,
The minimum impedance for Kustom 100's is 8 ohms.
You actually can run it at 4 ohms and it won't hurt the amp, but it's better to run it at 8 or 16 ohms.
