Alnico or Ceramic or PM?

feeds@yuku.com (4willieC) — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 23:06:12 GMT

I like to think that after 47 years of servicing guitar amps and other electronic devices that I know one thing from another....but I have to tell ya, I often am at a loss for explaining how to identify a speaker with an alnico magnet versus a ceramic versus a permanent natural magnet. Other than by shapes, is there a truly definitive way to ID one from the other? I always wanted to ask Ted Weber about this but never got around to it...and now it's too late.

I got to thinking...

Fender BXR cab

feeds@yuku.com (jbmojo) — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 20:05:08 GMT

Klipsch LaScala Drivers

feeds@yuku.com (jbmojo) — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 00:25:31 GMT

I got some plans for building LaScalas but have no idea on what to use for the drivers. I used a pair on a PA before and they sounded great, take very little power to drive 'em, they cut over the rest of the band, and they ain't too big or heavy. I hear they're good for a stereo too.
Any suggestions?

It looks like I'm in the speaker repair business

feeds@yuku.com (DB Electronics) — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 22:24:26 GMT

I just bought the assets of a local speaker repair company. Quite a pile of speakers in various stages of repair or disrepair along with the various cones, voice coils, spiders,surrounds and diaphragms of all types that you can imagine. I'll try to specialize in instrument speakers and oddballs within that category.

My son is taking advantage of a weeks training volunteered by the previous proprietor. My wife who answers the phone and does paperwork says I'm taking on too...

How to get the bell cover off a Jensen P12N, and... should I?

feeds@yuku.com (MadDave12) — Fri, 11 Sep 2009 21:09:38 GMT

I'm stubbornly trying to complete the task of replacing the speaker in a friend's Fender Hot Rod Deluxe. He had me order a Jensen P12N.

Only after mounting it and trying to put the chassis back in the cabinet did I learn that, with the bell cover on, it doesn't fit with the chassis in place. Now I also have a dented bell cover on the thing.

1) Can the bell cover be removed reasonably? Just tugging on it (assuming a friction fit) didn't work.

2)...

Silvertone 1331 speaker selection

feeds@yuku.com (THX421) — Mon, 31 Aug 2009 15:12:24 GMT

Hello everyone-
I have been using a Silvertone 1331 for recording for years and it has always sounded great. I tried to use it on my last song and it was "ringing" on certain notes. The speaker is finally blown. Does anyone have any suggestions for a mid 50's 8 watt tube combo speaker? I am thinking Weber since they have the biggest selection, but it is too big! I have no idea which one to get. I know that the speaker is 3.2 Ohms and the amp output is 8 watts. No...

Can anybody tell me the difference (besides the Celestion web site hype) between the 12" AlNiCo Golds and Blues?

Vented cab design for bass

feeds@yuku.com (StoSoStu) — Sun, 26 Jul 2009 08:17:34 GMT

I have an Acoustic Corp 270 in a combo cab and I'd like to replace the 2x12 speakers with a single 15". The driver I'd like to use is the Etone 806.

The cab is currently sealed back and is approximately 90 litres, 60 x 55 x 30 cms.

I assume that a vented enclosure would be better for bass guitar but I don't know how to work out the vent size.

The speaker T/S parameters are: Fs 38Hz, Qms 2.66, Qts 0.24, SPL 97.4, Vas 165, 4" Voice coil, 4...

Why has Ted stopped re-coning speakers ? I just logged on to his web site today 5/2/09 , I hope it isn't his health.

'64 Rola speakers with weird impedance

feeds@yuku.com (Nicknirk) — Tue, 28 Apr 2009 21:51:43 GMT

I inherited five '64 Rola speakers (10 inch) that supposedly came out of an old organ. I'm a guitar player. And was hoping to use them with guitar gear if possible. They seem to all settle at about 5.5 ohms on the multimeter. Is this normal for older speakers? Are these usable with Fender guitar amps/cabinets? or other brands? 5.5 ohms seems weird to me.

Weber NeoMag™ Series

feeds@yuku.com (Corvair dude) — Fri, 06 Feb 2009 21:12:12 GMT

Anybody have any experience (or heard anything) with this new speaker line?

The neo dog is only 3lb and 75$ cheaper than a blue dog.

Behringer rewire info

feeds@yuku.com (planethax) — Sun, 25 Jan 2009 19:43:38 GMT

I have a BG412H Speaker Half Stack that I just purchased for my son.
It is 8 Ohms Stereo and 16 Ohms Mono, and I need 4 Ohms Mono.
I see the BG412V is 8 Ohms Stereo and 4 ohms mono, I was wondering if I
just need to rewire the speakers or if I need a BG412V switch for my
BG412H or both?

This is what I have now

ssssssspeaker QUESTION?

feeds@yuku.com (retrorod) — Fri, 16 Jan 2009 22:22:59 GMT

Just recieved a matched pair of Fender Utah speakers from Ebay auction. '74,s! One, original cone...one re-cone. To start with, the re-cone looks amateur...and does not have the throw that the original has . It measures 7.6 ohm. The original cone speaker measures 13.9 ohm...more like a 16 ohm speaker. What gives? I have never encountered a pair of identical speakers with such a mis-match of ohms...Rod

Flux Tone Speakers

feeds@yuku.com (SG123) — Thu, 15 Jan 2009 21:13:42 GMT

Just read an article about these in Premier Guitar Magazine. The claim is that it works better than any attenuator or master volume. A variation on the field coil speaker:

Help Me Decide on the Weber Speakers for a BFSR

feeds@yuku.com (BNR) — Wed, 07 Jan 2009 09:55:14 GMT

First of all a happy new years to all of you.

I decided to start the year with a question about speakers. Anyone has an experience with the sound and tonal qualities of a 4x10 BFSR with Webers 2-10A125s and 2-10A150s?

The other day I heard a BFSR with the Weber 2-10A125s and 2-10F150s and it sounded really great. It had the right balance of highs, mids, and a boomy but tight bass. It wasn't too trebly. From what I read elsewhere this combination is recommended by...

NOISY ALTECS?

feeds@yuku.com (retrorod) — Sun, 04 Jan 2009 18:10:22 GMT

I bought a '69 Twin Reverb that has a pair of Altec 417-8C speakers. Heavy Muthers !! I have read that they are pretty decent speakers. Here is the problem. They do sound nice when hitting notes and playing consistantly, but I notice an annoying buzzing as the note decays. Its kind of a underlying fuzz-tone that will sustain, long after the note-tone fades. What gives? Voice coil, maybe? I have plugged the amp into another cab and this does not happen. Any ideas on isolating or...

Specifications for Weber Speakers

feeds@yuku.com (BNR) — Mon, 01 Dec 2008 15:39:59 GMT

Would anyone know where I could go to see specifications for speakers made by Weber? I visited the Weber site and could find no information. I am looking for the type of speaker specifications you typically will see for Celestion, Jensen, etc. made speakers (i.e. sensitivity, frequency range, FS, DC resistance, mounting info, material info, etc.).
