Any guitar players on TW?

Looking to replace the speaker on my 6505+ combo with a Celestial vintage 30 or Stewmacs equivalent.

I guess it should bring up the mids and highs. A good thing as I play more than just metal.

 

Anybody swap out speakers in a cab?

 

No. When I thought about swapping the speakers in my Marshall cab, I researched for a while and within a week, my Mesa cab came home

 

Right on.

It's like a hundred bucks for a new speaker. It's a 1x12, so just a cheap project.

 

Are they just connectors or need to solder?

 

Connectors

 

A little Saturday night silking.

 

super easy especially if it's a 1x12.

 

Just asking because I don’t know. Never done a speaker swap*

would a 2x12 or 4x12 be harder?
Edit: More difficult*

 

yes... anything with multiple speakers requires to math out the impedence. like my 4x12 is 16ohm speakers wired series/ parallel to get it to 8ohms total.

for a 1x12, just buy the same ohm rating as the speaker that's already in there (probably 16 or 8 ohms).

 

What are you going with?

 

purty.

 

Interesting.

I might hit you up later for this. My head has a switch setting for this. Always been a little lazy in figuring it out

 

Does the Weissenborn count for anything around here ?

Hope yall had a good holiday.
Just sent my bro $200 worth of steaks from Omaha Steaks for his bday on the 13th.

 

Nothing. My Mesa is great.
Was just a little curious because at one point I was looking into this with my Marshall 4x12 cabinet before I got my Mesa.

 

Ton of boutique speakers out there.
I like the classic sounds.

 

basically for using multiple cabs... if you have 2 cabs rated at 8 ohms, running them together would essentially halve their rating and you would run them at 4 ohms.
i'm not that great at explaining it but i remember by matching your amp to whatever your cab (or internal speaker is at) and when running two cabs, divide the cab's ohmage by 2 and use that output. cabs have to match too or else it gets dicey. use 2 8ohm cabs or 2 16ohm cabs. most guitar amps won't support anything lower than 4.

 

This. Plenty of charts out there on the net.

 

That's one thing I love about my Eleven Rack.
I can choose
cab size
speaker size
speaker brand.
ohms/watts and voltage.
and even the placement of the mic on the speaker or DI.


Also individual heads.
plexi to supro and everything inbetween.
