5150 combo 2x12 speaker wiring

Post by Colemanblues » Sun Nov 21, 2021 1:21 am

Hi, does anyone know how to wire the speakers to the original configuration in a "96" 5150 combo 2x12? I saw a video online that showed how wiring in a combo amp should be (in "series" for 16 ohm load with two 8 ohm speakers). I looked online and found a wiring diagram from Celestion that showed the same configuration. However, when I opened the back of my combo, the wiring was in a different configuration. I am not sure if Peavey wired their amps in a different way to get a different sound or if someone just wired it different.

No, Peavey didn't wire them different, speakers are speakers, and they work the same for anyone, any brand , that uses them.

SOMEONE else wired them wrong. The speaker on the right ha only one terminal wired, it can't work at all.

The speaker on the right? Leave the white wire where it is, and move the black wire over to the empty terminal.

Hey! Ok, thanks for letting me know. :D Yeah, I thought it was weird that the wiring was different inside than what I believed to be correct.
