HELP-Picked up a used Marshall JTMC112 Cab with EVM-12L

[jimbola]

Like I said, I picked up this cabinet for cheap. It has a EVM-12L Speaker in it. Now my question is, how do I know if this is a 16ohm and not a 8ohm speaker? I know the cab say its a 16 ohm but I assume that was with the original Celestion speaker. It there any way to check?

I've attached a couple of pics.

the "812" on the back would seem to indicate a 8ohm, 12" speaker, but you can measure the resistance w/a meter: an 8ohm EV will usually read somewhere between 5 & 7 ohms or so.

Hey Mon! Thanks for the info but I don't know that the "8" in "812" means its an 8 ohm. I looked up those series of numbers and there are model 812's that are 16 ohm speakers. I'll have to get a hold of a ohm meter from somewhere.

Thanks Mon!!!!!
