Is 16 ohms better than 8 ohms?

There is no difference, given the exact same speaker, between a 16 ohm version and an 8 ohm version. Just match up the impedances to keep your OT from melting down.

What is louder 8 ohm or 16 ohm?

The efficiency doesn’t have anything to do with the resistance of the speaker coil. The efficiency is the output divided by the input. Since an 8-ohm speaker has more power going through it than a 16-ohm, it will be louder than a 16-ohm (and it will need twice the power rating!).

Can I replace an 8 ohm speaker with a 16 ohm speaker?

You can’t replace a 16 ohm driver with an 8 ohm, the crossover won’t work correctly, which could lead to further damage.

Which is better 8 ohms or 16 ohms?

We find out by comparing a Celestion Vintage 30 8 ohm against a 16 ohm version (with the amp set to match). The Celestion Vintage 30 can be found here: – http://celestion.com/product/1/vintag… This series is an attempt to show how different speakers affect guitar tone in heavy Rock and Heavy Metal.

Is it OK to use 16 ohm speakers?

As long as the impedance of the amp and the speaker match then you’ll be fine. The 16 ohm impedance is a British thing. You can look it up, I’m not going to explain here. Some people believe that if you use a 16 tap that you are engaging the full winding of the secondary, therefore getting the full spectrum of the audio.

How many Watts Does a Celestion Vintage 30 have?

The Celestion Vintage 30 has been one of the most used and most notorious speakers of the guitar world. This has been the predominant speaker when it comes to heavy metal recordings, and for good reason.
