I hear what you're saying about 'actual' watts.....I'm always careful with older speakers and yes, I've heard the old quip about them 'popping' if you wound them up!! They'll probably be used with a 1972 Marshall PA20 so that should be OK but I will be doubly aware based on your advice.
I wasn't too sure how to measure the speakers.....do I just set the multimeter to the lowest ohm setting (on this one 20 ohms) and them put the red probe on the positive terminal and the black on the negative? If so it's reading 0.00!!!! I'm sure I'm doing something wrong! Could you tell me how to go about this?
The PA20s can do 4, 8 or 16 but need to be changed internally....just solder from one connection to another on the transformer. The other head I might use them with is an old '65 Treble and Bass and that has 7.5 ohm and 15 ohm outs. So, makes sense to wire them to 8 ohms?
I would probably just run one cab, or that's what I'd intended, but it might be interesting to run both cabs? I assume I'd need a Y-lead but then there's the issue of series/parallel I believe?

Isn't it amazing the things they got away with desciptionwise years ago????
Those speakers are neither "Heavy Duty" nor "Hi Fidelity"!!
I would wire 4 as 15 Ohms. Then should they happen to fall onto the jack of an ID 60 they might survive!
