How to Select a Speaker for Your Amplifier

[@jameslanclos568]

2:45 - Here you are saying to double the wattage of the speaker as compare to the wattage of the amp. I feel the same way. I was looking to replace the Made in China Celestion speaker on a Monoprice/Harley Benton 15 watt tube amp. There's the blue Celestion 8 ohm 15 watt speaker, but that's like $320.00 each !!! There were others like 60 watt rated, would that be too much for a 15 watt amp or what would you recommend? I'm more concerned with the sound and not the price. Thanks for a great informative video, we need more content like this on KZbin.

[@davidcastellanos881]

Great video. Thanks for taking the time to explain. Do you think I can connect just one speakers in a 2x12 100 watts amplifier? To make it lighter 😅

[@amplifiedparts]

As long as the impedance and wattage ratings are appropriate for the amp, that would be fine. Keep in mind, a single speaker that can handle 100W of power will be pretty weighty as well.

[@kennethconstantino4149]

What celestion speaker would you recommend if i want to build a cab for a vox pathfinder 10 which is only a 10watt amp? Thanks! You should keep this channel up and running!

[@michaelhering5941]

When matching an amp head to a speaker in one of your videos you said the speaker should be able to handle about double the wattage of the amp. Would a 25 watt amp head be able to drive a speaker rated at 150 watts? I wasn’t sure if there was a certain amount of wattage needed to drive the speaker properly.

[@amplifiedparts]

The speaker wattage recommendation is a loose rule to ensure that the speaker will not be damaged at the amplifier's full power. There isn't a minimum rating required to "drive" a speaker, it simply may not be driven as hard with a lower wattage amplifier.

[@JaySuschrist]

Great videos, y'all. Very helpful.

[@St0n_e_man]

Thank you for this information! Definitely leaving a like! I was wondering! I have a small amp and want to switch out the speaker. It’s a currently a 10’ 4 ohms speaker. How do the ohms work? Do I have to keep it at 4 or could I double and go for a 8-10 ohm speaker?

[@amplifiedparts]

Each amp is designed for a particular impedance speaker. If your amp uses a 4 Ohm speaker, you will likely want to continue using a 4 Ohm speaker. There are some amps that can use multiple impedance speakers, and those would be the main exception.

[@hugofioliveira]

Hi, i have a frontman 65R. Should i go for a 100W speaker or a 150W Speaker?

[@lpjbird]

Good information here...Question, I have a 'Acoustic AG60' I blew the speaker in it & have been having a hard time finding the right replacement for it...maybe something better than what it came with. Could you recommend something?

[@amplifiedparts]

There are too many variables as well as a subjective nature involved to be able to offer suggestions for specific applications. As the video suggests, you will want to determine the size, impedance rating, and power requirements for your amp and use the filters on our website to narrow down the available options from our stock: www.amplifiedparts.com/products/speakers

[@amplifiedparts]

The wattage rating applied to a speaker only references the maximum wattage that the speaker can safely run through it, so a 30W speaker would likely be sufficient for your application, however, there is no limit for the wattage rating of a speaker in any application.

[@VideoGuy]

Fantastic. So educational.

[@guillermocendejas382]

Great video, I love all your content. I have a question regarding wattage, some amps allow you to change the wattage, example: from 20w/5w/1w, if I keep it on 1watt is it safe to assume that I can use a 2 watt speaker if it existed? Thank you

[@amplifiedparts]

Theoretically, yes, but the potential for damaging the speaker is much higher as the power rating could be accidentally switched. Using the 20W amp in question, we would still advise a 40W speaker.

The Marshall does have a rotary dial on the back to switch from 8, 16 ohm. However I am concerned that the Eminence is going to work the Marshall too much and damage the amp, maybe even blow the output transformer. Any thoughts or opinion appreciated!

[@glock17ninja]

So if my Amp puts out at 100watt I can use a 300 watt speaker? As long as the Ohms match?

[@amplifiedparts]

Yes, absolutely. It is a general guideline to double the wattage of the amp, but nowhere near a hard set rule. There are lots of different situations, and different players have different needs, so if you want to use a 300W speaker with your 100W amp, we encourage you to give it a shot!

say you have an old cab with no speaker, so you just know the size of the hole ( for this question, assume it needs a speaker that is a non-standard size, it is not a 10 or 12 inch speaker). How would you determine the speaker size just based on the hole size?

The size of the cutout is a bit smaller than the actual speaker size, as the frame add's about 1" to the circumference. If your cutout is 8" or so it's probably for a 10" driver.

The Fender Champion 100 uses two 12" speakers and the amp itself is rated at 100W. The Jensen C12K has a 12" diameter and are rated at 100W each, so two of them would be a great option for that amp.

[@janohnisko4316]

Will my amp distort latter if I put higher wattage speaker in there? For example If I go from Greenback to Alnico Gold?

[@amplifiedparts]

Sometimes. It depends on the amp and the speaker you're looking to swap out. Speaker distortion is definitely a thing but typically most of the distortion in a tube amp is in the preamp and sometimes the power amp. The speaker has to be pushed into distortion which is usually at higher volumes. Old speakers can get warped or worn out in areas of the cone which can distort at lower volumes. If you have something like an 18W amp going into a single greenback which is 25W, there's a good chance that you can push that speaker into distortion. Upgrading to a 50W speaker like an alnico gold will likely improve that but be sure that you like the sound of that speaker at all volumes before making a decision. I don't think you can go wrong with an alnico gold though!

Hey Avner. There's no problem with increasing the wattage of your speakers. The new total speaker rating will be 120W as opposed to the 100W using the two 50W speakers. As long as you are matching impedance and your amp does not output more than 120W you'll be good to go!

The diameter of a speaker does not have bearing on the volume it is capable of producing. The "sensitivity level" of a speaker would indicate how "loud" it can get, so a 10" speaker with a high sensitivity could be equal in volume to a 12" with the same sensitivity level.

Appreciate the talk but one major correction: you need 1.5 to 2 times more power in your amplifier than your speaker watt. So, for a speaker of 100 watts you should get an amp with 150 to 200 watts per channel out put. Not the other way round.

Regarding the spreading of the wattage across multiple speakers, I have a question; I'm looking into getting new speakers for my old 4x10" combo, but I'm thinking of pairing two different speakers, so two of each, just to mix things up and possibly get some more character out of the amplifier. - Anyway; What would happen with the distribution if one of the two types was 30 Watts and the other say 60 Watts? Would the higher Wattage speaker be driven less and thus be quieter? Or would it somehow even out? (The amplifier is 100 Watts, by the way. Probably a real 100 Watts.) Of course there's also the efficiency, which in the case of these two speakers is a little different as well. What would happen with a few dBs of difference (which I know at that kind of loudness is a lot) in that? Would one just be underpowered or underutilized or anything like that? Thanks.

[@amplifiedparts]

In terms of power going through each speaker, as long as the impedances are the same and the wiring configuration is series, parallel, or the standard series-parallel, the speakers will see the same signal. So if 100W is coming out of your amp each speaker will see 25W. Everything else about the speaker will be as it is spec'd. One type of speaker might just be louder than the other. A lot of times people will set them up in a crisscross pattern rather than side by side when using different speakers to balance out differences like that.

When i opened the amp, guess what ? I have an 16 ohm amp , and the expert mounted the 4 ohm speaker to it... Then the other expert told he this was incorrect , which it is , and mounted the old speaker back. I've tried the the amp again with the old speaker but i was outside with lots of cars coming through ,And near the children's park, so I couldn't hear well, came home , mounted the amp, and the first problem appeared again... This happens only after the amp is on for sometime , since it is a tube amp. Now I've only wanted to know since this is a 4 Watt amp, is the g10 30w ( 16ohms) good enough ... According to this video 4x2 is 16 so 30 would be enough i presume... I was worried because the original spekers was 50 watts, but according to this video i think it's ok. Funny thing with hi Fi sistem the amp needs to be 50% more powerful then the speaks .... I just hope I'm right because this g10 will set me back a 120 euros ... And the other guy has massured with his instruments that there are no signals distortions coming from the amp itself ... I have 3 guitars so the guitar isn't a problem ( same "bad" sounds are coming from all of them ) on the other amp that i have guitars and amp sounds as it should .... I'm just writing this is someone is having the same problems as me. Informative video this is and i thank you for it..

I replaced the entire fuse holder (and power switch) with the correct housing that fits the T2a fuse, still blows when turned on. I gave up, but it was only $18. Any ideas or suggestions how to fix? I'm definitely open for options as this has become an obsessive project at this point Lol

@@bones101proof If the Crate is a solid state amp and is blowing fuses my best guess would be the power supply or the power amp. It could be one, the other or both. It might be a good idea to isolate the power transformer and make sure it's working correctly too.

Cobalt has gone through the roof. Back around 2000 I bought a pair of Jensen P12N for about $400.00 The price in 2022 was $660.00 for a pair (w/bell).

i for real thought you were in front of a green screen and that was just a picture.... until you reached out and grabbed one of the amps....

[@jessegaronband]

Your 112 double wattage speaker to amp ratio is incorrect. From stock 112 Mesa Boogies to 112 fenders the list goes on.....

👍👍👍

[@user-fb2jb3gz1d]

You forgot to mention that getting a higher wattage speaker than what your amp is putting out, can make your speaker sound like shit, sometimes, it can even sound as if your speaker is blown

[@MustangDesudiroz]

Idk my amp/speaker does produce sound lol

[@NewUser2495]

Haha little 100 watt

[@gqfiend]

Uuhhhh...what?

[@yomuthabyotch]

question: my combo amp is 251 mm deep. its stock speaker is a celestion 7080 whose overall depth is 119 mm. what would be the max depth that could fit an amp that is 251 mm deep? for example, my amp is kind of a closed-back--it has a grille cover--and a celestion GB is 130 mm deep--would that fit OK?

[@amplifiedparts]

Because the replacement speaker is roughly 10mm deeper than the original, it should still have sufficient space if the max is approximately 250mm. The only suggestion we can offer is to make sure there aren't any components such as tubes or transformers that are very close to the stock speaker that may present a problem with the larger option.

i got got thia 130watt fender ultimate chorus amp and the speakers are done old beat up one doesnt even work any way i want to get new. 2 12 speakers for this amp. i play fast and slow surf rock and punk rock in this one band but i use alot chrous soo im looking for a good speaker that puts out the best chorus tone aouns we play alot clean tones.waht would any of you all. recommend for me? thAnks

[@amplifiedparts]

I might go for two Jensen C12K's in a high watt amp like that. You get the high wattage you'll need to crank the amp but also still have a 1960s design and sound.

Justin hi, I've got a beautiful sixties Dynacord BassKing all tube amp here. 50 watts 15 ohm output. The Dynacord can be set to 4-8-15 ohm internally it seems. I happen to have a 2 channel 15" 2x 350watt subwoofer laying around here, which is 2x 350WRMS 4 ohm per channel. A bass guitar completes the picture. WILL IT BLEND somehow ?
