Great repair! Remember that a speaker's rated impedance is nominal and impedance is a measure of AC ohms (which takes into account both the DC resistance of the wire and the Reactance of the inductance of the voice coil). With an ohmmeter, you're measuring DC resistance. For an 8 ohm speaker, a resistance of 6.2 ohms or so is perfectly normal. Over the years, I've encountered a number of weirdnesses when it comes to connections between the speaker's tinsel leads and the terminal. I once bought a Sonic brand 8x10 really cheap and found that the two Carvin replacement speakers in it appeared to be dead. The only problem with them was that the solder joint connecting the tinsel lead to the terminal was cold soldered. Once I reflowed the solder, both speakers were perfectly fine.
@@ForsytheVideo alive, for the most part. Still can't shake my long cov bs and it's limiting everything I want to do. Such is life. Especially when people in labs play god.
My Behringer stuff has also been hit or miss, but the stuff that has hit has been 99% as good as what they’re cloning. The thing I like about them is that Amazon carries them so I end up getting it for free since I use the promotional credit Amazon gives out. I just save it up.

i have seen that problem before .Usually on a cab that has been schlepped around a lot,
Cheers and well done.
Thanks!
I never made that “balls”connection I’m DEFINITELY keeping my ampeg for life now haha!
😅
Sounds aight. If it was free or very inexpensive to acquire, then whatever. Definitely got that nuclear assault tone. Hope you're well buddy.
Doing alright man, how are you?

That must of got a little warm on the fingers holding that wire..lol. awesome repair!
Well we do what we gotta do when we gotta tech in a hurry, haha

That's awesome!
I never saw Coconut. Not once.😢
