Crappy cell phone pic...but if you can not tell it is a Vader 4x12. Loving the Eminence speakers so far. :thu:
 
WTF is going on here? haha

I generally prefer eminence over celestion. Ive been interested in these. Can you give us a comparison to the mf cab?
 
Ah, you went for it. I think you made a good trade. The MF cab sounds too woofy to me.
 
Let me get to know it for a day or so. I will post a mini-review.
 
Sick, good job :thumbsup:
I'm sure I am the minority lol.
 
I've never played a Vader, but I'm sure they are great cabs.
Before buying one, you just have to ask yourself whether or not you like speaker breakup influencing your tone, or if you like to use tonnes of gain and want a clear representation of your amp though high wattage speakers with little to no speaker distortion.
They aren't for everybody, but what peice of gear is..right?

Looking forward to hearing your impressions smucarolina...
 
cool cab, congrats man. My buddy has one and he likes it a lot for the metal he plays. Only thing that turned me off those cabs was not being able to change the speakers if I ever wanted a change. They were sealed to the front baffle with silicone on my friends cab.

yeah you have to break the seal shit on there to get the speakers out. you could probably email adam from vader for an easier alternative.
 
Paint scrapers are tougher than silicone...wedge one between the baffle and the speak frame...and rock it up.

ummm...silicone fumes are very hard on speaker parts. I'd remove it on GP.


A stereo shop should have closed cell foam gaskets for 12's.

Never seen, nor used these guys...but they have gaskets for like 3 bucks.

Cork...imo

but most cab manu's don't use anything.

fyi: Silicone fumes will damage most anything made with a petrol base....and in a sealed up cabinet...there's no where for fumes to go.
 
wow, that is interesting, never knew that. I seem to remember a bunch of guys sealing their cabs with caulk, hope it wasn't silicone based. :scared:
 
I had a buddy who used to work at the paint counter at Lowes...he said he had old ladies walk up to him all the time and ask where his caulk was.

... :confused:
