Mesa 4x12: Standard (oversized) vs Traditional

No. Not unless something else was changed. Which is why I asked if maybe he was misremembering. He said it was many years ago. But no... moving that wire off the jack and to the speaker changes absolutely nothing. Zero. Nothing. Nada. Zippo. Nil.


That wire is able to handle the signal from the amp no problem.

Understood, but I wasn’t referring to the power handling capacity of the wire. I was just wondering if in the 2 jack wire method, if the first pair of speakers influences or alters the signal in any way before the signal reaches the other pair of speakers vs the signal arriving at all 4 speakers simultaneously with the 4 jack wire method.

Ah, I understand. But also no haha

Because it's still parallel wiring, the first pair of speakers and the second pair of speakers both "see" the jack at the same time. Neither pair is "first" or "second". Speaker Pair 1, Speaker Pair 2, and the jack are all essentially at the exact same "point" in the circuit.

But hey... if you're curious, try it both ways and see. Just make sure you're actually wiring it properly. Use a long enough set of wires to reach the jack with the bottom pair. Then simply move those wires to the first pair of speakers. That way you're not adding or removing wire—just moving where they're soldered to.
