pretty sure they are 16ohm in those cabs.. someone will confirm i'm sure. if not - whip the back off and have a look at the speakers in there.

If it has 4/16 mono switching and 8ohm per side stereo options, then they will be 16ohms.

Yeha at the back it has 4ohm or 16ohm options, so i assume that would make it 16ohm speakers-this may sound stupid but do 16ohm speakers come in a standard size? or can they vary?

there are many different sizes.. but 4x12 means it has four 12" speakers, so you need a 12" speaker, which the vintage 30 usually is! :)

it depends on the cab. some speakers are soldered in there, and some just have push-on tags so you don't need to solder at all - just swap over the wires.

open her up and have a look inside.
