Steve-
Oops. Hit the wrong key. 2 empty messages above. Sorry.


Thanks for the info!
Before I got your advice and schematics I wired up the external cabinet by copying the wiring for the internal speakers and didn't get a signal. Now looking at the schematics it looks like the internal speakers are wired in parallel? I thought MM's were wired in series.


This is how my internal speakers are wired.
Tip positive(+) line to (+) on speaker #1
then a line going from (+) on spkr. #1 to (+)on spkr #2
Same for the Negative(-) line
Then a Ground? going from (-) #2 to both speaker frames.


Does this sound right? The amp works fine. Could someone have changed the wiring and would there be any advantage to parallel over series? I know it would be less ohm load.


Now I have the external cabinet wired series and still can't get a signal and I think my speakers are blown. Could I have blown or fried them when I had them wired up wrong? Is there any way to fix them short of reconeing?


Any advice would be really appreciated.
