Cab question….

[TheGreatGreen]

What speakers should I get? I have two cabs with v30’s and one with 75’s.

Get some Karnivores.

Use the 4 ohm cab alone and set the amp to 4 ohms. Don’t mix it with your 8- or 16 ohm cabs. That’s it

EV's

Do those emi delta pro’s hit like ev’s? I think that’s the model..

I like the Karnivores and the Swamp Thangs.

Those cabs were made for the Crate solid state amps. 2 of them would be 2 ohms for the 160 watt heads if I remember right. Most were oversized, speakers spaced far apart to make the cabs bigger…cause bigger is better.

The EM12 is the model. They hit "kinda" like EVs, but unlike the EVM12L and most Celestions don't have much of a notch at about 1500hz. IMO that makes them more PA-sounding than the EVM12L which ironically started life as PA speaker.

They're notably more efficient than the already efficient 12L though for what that's worth. Like many Eminence models loud as shit.

So I got this old USA crate cab but it has a 4 ohm tap. My other cabs are all 8 ohms I believe. One might be 16. I’m not really going to be able to run this with another cab am I? My single has an 8 and two 4 ohm taps but my 6505+ combo has a switch for ohms… while it can drive it by itself it probably will explode and burn my house down if I try and run another cab right? Don’t cross the flow or mismatch ohms right?View attachment 428453

Is it one of those really old shallow as hell Crate 4x12's? If so the speakers suck donkey ballz, and with the shallow depth I doubt even good speakers will yield any sort of decent thump.

Maybe if you want an open back cab you could cut half the back panel off, and load it with some good speakers. I think that's about the best that turd could be polished.

Dude I still haven’t tried it yet…lol

I know because my second amp was the 150 watt Crate 1/2 stack those cabs came with, and I owned it for about 3 years.

Honestly I got it for free so I would like to do something with it. Hell I could make it open back easy enough. Doesn’t seem shallow at all though….
