I have Final Fight in a dynamo cab which is pre-cut to mount 2 speakers on opposite sides of the overhang. Currently I have only 1 speaker mounted on the left, but would like to add a second one on the right (1 for each side). The current speaker is an 8ohm 5watt max speaker. I found a 4" 6ohm lying around with an 'unmarked wattage' that I'd like to use if it's safe. Can this be done safely in series or paralell?
Also I guess these questions for rule of thumbs would help me and anyone searching the threads. . .
1)Is there a general safe range of ohm/wattage for arcade setups? For example, if you have a conversion cab where the manual does not list a required speaker ohm,what do you do?
2)What ohm/wattage level is considered dangerous?
3)Can you mix different ohm/wattage speakers safely?
4)Is there a safe +/- level of tolerance on speaker ohms?
5)Does it make difference regarding safety if you paralell or series on an arcade setup?
6)On a game with a seperate mounted soundboard, can you run the game safely or is it possible to run the game without it? (For example: If you want to test/play a game while you have a soundboard removed for repairs)
Thanks
