  • Can you hook up regular non-Allen stereo speakers to an Allen 123-C?

    The church I'm now playing for will probably soon be getting an Allen 123-C to replace its aging Hammond. The church has a tiny congregation and not much money, so I'm not sure if they could afford a pair of full-sized Allen speaker cabinets to hook up to it, so can you just hook up normal bookshelf speakers to it?

    I do not see why not. I knew a guy that had a bunch of small Bose speakers hooked up to an Allen GW IV. And, back when I had an MDS Theatre-2, I had a couple of Panasonic speakers connected to it.

      Make sure your total speaker impedance is 4 ohms or greater and that the speakers can handle significant bass power down to 32 Hz. You won't damage the organ or amps if you do this, but the speakers may be damaged if they can't handle the bass power.
