Does anyone have a Users Manual for a Sunn SR6100 powered mixer?

Hey everyone. I have a Sunn 612S cabinet. I noticed the bottom four drivers aren’t working now. Does anyone know how it is wired (series/parallel)? It is rated at 6 ohms…but a voltmeter measures 16 ohms on each jack! The speakers are all original.

In reply to JIM. I have 4 of the 4x12 Sunn Transducer Cabs from late 60s, early 70s. Using an Ohm meter, they read less than 8 ohms, around 6 but more than 4 ohms. I also connect two Sunn cabinets to a Marshall 100W Plexi and switch to 4 ohm setting on back of the amp.

In reply to Robbie Nuke. UPDATE: Installed a rebuilt Altec 421-8H series 2 (ceramic mag) in place of the D-140. Sounds more aggressive, breaks-up a bit easier. Very "classic rock" sounding live. Need to retune the cabinet to try to get more low end.

I have a Solos II, 1973. One speaker was replace 35 years ago with no name.
The other speaker is a transducer 128G. What speaker was used in original equipment manufactured?

I have found that 2-15 inch cabs are worth more as two 15 inch drivers than as a single cab most of the time.

Also as far as I know all Sunns used Dyna output transformers and had 4, 8 and 16 ohm out so if they are not hooked up it’d be esay to add a switch or additional output jacks, it’s not like they are collectible. Unlike Fenders or Marshalls there is no big demand that they be stock or cosmetically great.

In reply to Ed.

Hi Ed. Literally 15 mins ago I sold a 1969 Fender 2×15 (very similar cabinet) in ex working condition, rough cosmetics, for $150.

As a private seller you can expect to get $100 – $300 for it depending on what city you live in and how patient you are

good luck

I have a Sunn 215m I’m looking to get a fair price on. I’m not into or up to date with music stuff and for this I’m asking for any help in pricing my amp. It is all original and is in perfect condition. Thanks in advance.
