Don,

Thanks for the help with replacing my power cord. You stated
to get the full watts out of my K200 was to add another cabinet
what I want to do is replace the CTS'S I have with Altec 421A'S.
Since the Altec's are 8 ohm speakers then when wired the right
way I should get to the 4 ohms?

Thanks,
Mark

Yes, install the two 8 ohm Altec's and wire them in parallel to get the 4 ohm load to the amp. Good choice on speakers. BC and JC love the Altec's.

421A's are my favorite....JBL D140s are deep and smooth but I like the punch and clarity of the Altec best. Most of my amps have the CTS. Someday you should try two 8 ohm CTS cabinets with a K200 head. That is another nice tone if you do not mind the inconvenience of a second cabinet. It was great to meet you Mark. I look forward to hearing of your Kustom adventures! BC Cool
