  • You can find out the speakers ohm rating using a multimeter on the ohm setting and placing the leads across the connector tabs. A reading of 6k to 7k will be an 8 ohm speaker.

  • A 4 or 8 ohm speaker is recommended.

  • Looks like a standard PA speaker. Old PA systems were usually 10 to 20 watts. Check the ohms rating with a multimeter. Probably 4 or 8 ohms, but could be 16 ohms.
    What is the ohm output of the MAH3?

  • So, I dug a little and I'm wondering if this rig--http://www.guitarfuel.com/MAH3_Amplifier_Harness.php--would work for this speaker cone.  It says the speaker needs to be rated at "3 up to 10 watts".  I really don't know what wattage this here cone is, but I can see it's about 10".  What do you think?
