Anyone know the speaker impedance of a 1x12 Carr Rambler

[SFMUSICMAN]

I have an Eminence "The wizard" speaker in the amp and need to test/replace with another but only have a 4x10 set of speakers (2 ohms total) to test with.

Can I plug those speakers in the Carr?

Can't remember if I can load in that direction or if I have it backwards if the Carr is 8 ohms

I could be wrong, but I don't think I've ever seen a tube guitar amp designed to handle a 2 ohm load (maybe that huge old Fender bass amp?).

I would strongly recommend you don't use any thing less than a 4 ohm load.

Blackface Super and Tweed Bassman are 2-ohms, but not much else so 4x10 2-ohms is slightly impractical. It's probably four 8-ohm speakers wired in parallel. You could rewire them parallel-series or series-parallel and get 8 ohms, which is almost certainly what the Carr wants to see.

How do you like the Carr amp?.They look like very high quality true pt. to pt. amp.I always wanted to try one,Thanx Mikey

It really is a wonderful amp..It's just that I am the second owner and it had Sovteks for all tubes (except an unknown USA V4 12AX7). So, I don't know if this is what Steve Carr used from the shop or not (hope not).

Once I put in some JJ's (standard for the 3 Preamp tubes) and 2 matched for the 6L6's, this amp became noticeably more musical.

I neglected to change out the Phase Inverter and am now considering a balanced 12AX7 next.
