I can do my maths better than the Ivy league trained pizza makers.

To the OP if they’re still around, I run a 50w EVH through an EVH 2x12 with I put the EVH speakers in, at gigs and it sounds glorious.

Math or no math, (Maths is the British term) it works. No blow speakers or amps. It’s not the 100w nor the 4x12 but would expect a similar outcome.

My pal safely runs a 100w through a 60w 2x12 with Heritage G12H30 75hz speakers. It’s not blown. Neither of us are running the amps full tilt.

The aspect of amp vs cab load and capacity is based on the amp running fully open and what the cab rating is able to handle at that point. Most people simply aren’t lucky enough to get their amp loud enough to touch the designated 80w in the EVH 4x12, even at gig volumes.

BTW, the Celestion EVH speakers are closer to 25w and only labelled as 20w for historic reasons.
 
Hi guys,
Thanks for your answers. Very helpful.
I think i will go with the this "new" Engl cabinet loaded with Eminence Karnivore speakers. This cabinet is way more versatile then the EVH 412.
if I decide one day that I want a different amplifier.

Don't you agree?
Yes...
We all agree... Of all that is holy we agree!!!! Lol
In all seriousness the Engl will work for you much better. Plus it has better power handling.
I'm sure trade/resale value will be better also if you decide to go a different route in the future.

I'm an ENGL fan. I haven't personally tried that cab, but have heard good things about it. It should be a good choice for you. Once you get it post your thought.
 
I wouldn't recommend the EVH cab here because given the wattage it's slightly under powered as the EVH Greenback speakers are rated for 20 watts each. Maybe some are willing to take the risk and say okay 80 watts should be good enough but IMO with amps and good amps like these you don't want to fuck around and take a risk as such and it really is better to be safer than sorry when it comes to wattage/ohm IMO and IME.

Maybe you should edit your post #3 :dunno:

Wouldn't want someone to find this thread looking for the truth and find this. It has been proven over and over again, that these modern Greenbacks are 25 watts. Thanks,

Everyone is in agreement, sick cab, more than enough power handling and as someone else noted higher resale value later too.

Everyone loves those Karnivores too and many like them better than Vintage 30s.

Nah nah nah man. You, of all people don't get to play the "we're all in agreement"-card. You, yes YOU went against everyone for fuckin' more than 1000 (yes, thousand!!!) posts.
All the SANE people were in agreement. Not you. Don't use "we".
There's no "we" when it includes you.

Incoming:
More back-pedalling and grovelling OR
slapping random labels/name-calling on some of us with shit he recently picked up... 😒

Yes "sane" people...... Who want to argue unofficial ratings, magical power handlings and the possible warranty issues that arise from that......


Vs official ratings.....


But NVM me, folks should listen to "sane" folks such as yourself and void their warranty 😂
 
#back-pedalling.
Or did you forget what you said to Jim from Scumbag speakers? 😂

I literally laughed when you called him out. Oh shit. I say we bring on another 1000 posts of this moron switching sides every day or two

As said these are unofficially 25 watts and I agree with you......


But officially due to the 20 watt rating it's important to keep a distinction out of concern for possibly voiding not just the speakers warranty but possibly the amps if you have issues and you buy these individually from a retialer or Celestion.


In general don't understand what you're hung up about or others are hung up about and it's just common sense and something to be aware of for safety and warranty.


Honestly who gives a fuck and it's just a waste of time tbh at this point. The cabs and speakers ain't bad and well it's up to whatever the player is comfortable with and to know what they are getting into with these speakers/cabs etc etc.

Oh Sally, we are just amused by your backpedaling to save face
 
No one is backpedaling.....


Its just a matter of fact.... And well it's pretty obnoxious and I think everyone is tired of your Highschool crap along with these other guys. Just give it up......

Its just a drag.
Fact, maths, whatever you want to say. My point is that no one is buying your nonsense. You made yourself look like a moron here for 50+ pages and there is no running away from it.

If everyone is sick of me, I welcome them to write down their concerns or comments and I will file them appropriately.

No! Those two things cannot exist at the same time. Unlike most of the shit you believe in, this is actually one of those rare zero-sum cases.
Officially these are still 25 watt speakers.
Period.
Don't bitch about warranty, because Fender/EVH rated the 4*12 cab for 100 Watts. Period. No more grey area. No more 6-7. No more "yeah but my buddy told me the label of the speaker said 20." No. Just... No.
Bad dog.
Pat on the nose.
Back in the bench.

Yet, you *keep* pivoting on this case for the fuckin' engagement. You seem to thrive on responses, even if they carefully dissect your whole world view.
Very sad. So sad.
