hey guys

man i thought i was sure of this but now im feeling weird.
i have jcm900 combo and im not sure if the 12s are 8 or 16 ohms?
for whatever reason i was under the impression that they were 16
but maybe im very wrong?

i also have the jcm 900 1960a cab.
which i was under the impression that those were 16ohm speakers too.
so i thought if the ohmage matched in a parallel setup, it would be the 8
ohm setting on my amp.

geeze im confused now.
