So you have just purchased your guitar speaker. Have questions about setting up a guitar speaker, guitar amplifiers, Amps, Watts, Ohms? Good! You will be less likely to damage your guitar speakers or compromise their tone if you know where to keep them, how to run them, and with what.
MAINTENANCE – Consider keeping your speaker in a controlled temperature environment – ie. not a humid garage with wild temperature fluctuations. Guitar speaker cones are basically made from paper.
Here is a simple formula that we give as a rule of thumb:
Sum of your speaker Wattage > amp wattage
Most players find their happy medium between these two points, but taste is a factor. Some players want an ultra clean sound with no break up in the speaker, therefore, they will want more wattage in the speaker than the amp. Others want the amp to have more watts because they know that you cannot digitally reproduce that analogue sound of a old school guitar speaker being pushed hard.
Yes, you could over-power them like Jimi Hendrix did, and we will gladly sell you more. He would blow speakers, but get great distortion in the speakers in the process. If you do that, we won’t just give you more like Celestion did for Jimi! But we will be happy to sell them to you.
Most guitar amplifiers, or Heads, either have 4, 8, or 16 ohm outputs for you to connect your guitar speakers to. Here is how you connect a pair of guitar speakers to each kind of output:
