The geekiest thing that you will be expected to understand as a guitar player is ohms. Ohms is simply a measure of how much a circuit resists or impedes the flow of current when a voltage is applied to it... and you can use it to mold your tone, but only if you know what impedance settings to select on your amp. This set of six business-card-size easy reference charts give you the correct impedance settings and wattages delivered to each speaker when connecting two speakers to 30, 50 and 100 watt amplifiers in both series and parallel. Never again calculate, or worse, guess the correct impedance setting again.
