This might should be in another section but I'll try here first as its not really a repair problem. More of a modification thing. I know first off that Kustoms like no make that love four ohm loads. I know too that the 2x15 cabs are eight ohms. You run two of them and get the magic formula. I have a 2x12/2x10 cab and its the magic four ohms too. I have a three fifteen and its not. Its not far off but its not. Anyway what I wanna know is can I change the speakers to make it magic four ohms? Next to do that is what impedance are the speakers now? Are they 16 ohms in most Kustoms wired together to get eight ohms in each 2x15 Kustom and how are the 3x15's wired to get their odd combinations. The cab is not as loud of course as two of the 2x15's with the magic impedance match and it also seems to cause the amp head section to have to be run louder and creates a distortion in the process. Not a good situation for bass. Thanks in advance for your answers to these inquiring minds wanna know questions.
