Ok just had a look how to do it, seems straight forward I will have a bash with the multimeter tomorrow, cheers!

Just had the back off the cabs and they are celestion g12-65 the impedance says 15ohms? I take it these won't be the original speakers? Should I run the amp at 16ohm with these?

Actually in 1982 I believe the 800 series cabs were still using g1265s. I dont think they switched over to g1275s till 84.

They should be original. They are 8 ohm cabs. 2x16 (15) ohm speakers in each. They run at 8 ohms each cabinet. Meaning if you use one cab the amp is set at 8 ohms. If you use 2 cabs the same amp needs to be set at 4 ohms.

Pretty sought after speakers by the way. They fetch a pretty fair price by themselves with no cab.

 

[Revsynyster]

Thanks guys! Awesome to know there probably original too!

You need to check the cab with an ohm meter. Like anitoli mentioned.

I 3rd reco. I always measure the resistance of new cabs, speakers and after I wire up new speakers just to make sure. And BTW, if its an 8 ohm set up, the resistance will be slightly less than 8...maybe 6-8 range.

Welcome, you're now an MFer.

Curious to know what amp(s) you're using that sent your 2204 to the sidelines

Cheers! Your going to think I'm mad when I tell you ha ha, but i have had afew different modelling amps that are more house friendly in the time I have had this at the moment I'm using a Peavey vypyr, it's just for simplicity I can plug the guitar straight in play at low volume and still sound good, obviously not cranked valve good but resonablre for what I need. I don't play in a band or anything so no gigging so the small modelling amps just fit my need as horrible as that is to say

Those modeling amps are fine, but you also have one of the best bedroom amps there is in the 800, just need to harness its beast, to your favor! Cheers Mitch

I have just been looking at some power soaks actually I think that's going to be the way to go to get more use from it

I'm allowed to post links now so just thought I'd post a link so you can see the amp you have been talking about ha ha https://photos.app.goo.gl/ssgh8r6TrMAEZDtu5

Edit: since give the amp a really good clean up too looking alot better than it did
