K-100 cabs [message #18380] Tue, 12 March 2013 01:11   noexit Messages: 21 Registered: February 2008 Location: Far North Junior Member Was there ever any tall cabs made that were still 10 pleats wide? Like a 3x12 or a 4x12? Report message to a moderator

I'm trying to figure out what happened to this 2x12 cab. It looks like it was cut in half, then a handle installed on top of the bottom half and then held back together with velcro along the sides. It has 2 - 8 ohm speakers. 350! Report message to a moderator

Perhaps it is a 4x12 cab that someone cut down to 10 T&R. The 4x12 cab is 15 T&R tall and 14 T&R wide. pleat Report message to a moderator

Cut in half. Top half and bottom half. There is also another kind of connector on the bottom half. Someone told me it looks like an old Vox connector. It's round with 2 prongs. about as big around as a dime. I figure the speakers must have been swapped out but they are CTS speakers and they are stamped with a Kustom logo on the basket. When I got the cab the speakers were wired back together for a 4 ohm load. Maybe someone had a small car and couldn't fit the whole cab in? Maybe they couldn't lift it? So they cut it in half? Who would do such a thing? It wasn't a bad job either. They did a decent job finishing it. Sorry, I lack the skills to post pics. 350! Report message to a moderator

I know I don't have a photobucket account to post pictures. The CTS speakers with the kustom logo stamp would be 16 ohms each, so wiring in parallel would give you an 8 ohm load which the K100-1 and 2 heads run at. It's amazing to see what some people have done to cabinets by chopping them up. pleat Report message to a moderator

The K100-1 and K100-2 amps were a 8 ohm amplifier, so if your driving the speakers with a K100 amp, you could damage the head by running too low of impedence. pleat Report message to a moderator
