Disclaimer: I am not smart.

No, I think your only real possible way of doing it is by serial connecting all 4 8ohm speakers for a 32ohm load and serial connecting both the 16's for a 32ohm load and then parallel splitting them...

Basically at the input jack you do a parallel split (wire two positive and two negative wires) take one positive wire to the first 8ohm speaker then the negative of the speaker to the positive of the next and so on until you get the last one which you take the negative back to the input jack, then the other positive wire you take to the first 16ohm speaker's positive then that speakers negative to the second speakers positive and the second speakers negative back to the jack. I believe that will net you a 16ohm total load at the jack. Theres not really any other way to safely do it with that combination of speakers due to their ohmage. Most 6speaker cabs run the opposite ohmage, 4 16ohm's and 2 8ohm's to get an 8 ohm load in a different wiring scheme. To do the 2 groups of three speakers wiring they all have to be the same load rating.

AA summed it up nicely.

Thanks

Sound test of a Tallboy full stack miced out. skip towards the end for the full effect.

Thanks. I should've checked it in the preview but I did. Got a commission to break down a fender 212 combo and make it a separate head and 212 cabinet and do a matching Tallboy 212 115.

excited to see how the 212 115 turns out.

Most likely it'll be the same looking as the Tallboys I've done... but in white tolex and more of a standard fender frontface/grill cloth. He wants it to be the same size as his sunn cab with the 212 on top of it. He said it's roughly 33in without casters so I'm doing the 212 15in tall and then doing the 212 115 as a Tallboy cause I make em 48in anyway and I'll throw some casters on it. I'll have it loaded with Texas Heats and a Big Ben

Texas Heats and Big Ben was what I was thinking for my own possible 212/115. Bet that'll sound killer

You know it will! it'll be beast as fuck.

What if you did Texas Heat/Swamp Thang/Big Ben tho?

it's do able. I just figured it'd already be bassy enough since it has the big ben in it but hell never can be too bassy I suppose.

I still kinda want to hear what an all Swamp Thang 4x12 sounds like.

:/ well it's going to both cabs. But I did an all 412 Swamg Thang cab. I really like it.
