Pinball Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 (edited) Hi, It seems that the speaker of my Genz Benz Focus LT cab has gone. Although I can't see a problem it can't cope with the low B without distorting and rattling.. Can anyone tell me where to get a replacement or recommend an alternative Details are: Genz Benz Model: GEC 12200-08 8 ohms !2" I reckon its worth doing as its a nice light cab any assistance or advice is much appreciated Edited January 21, 2017 by Pinball Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoonBassAlpha Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 Have you checked all the speaker mounting screws and rear connector panel are tight and airtight? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Good thinking but I checked that when I took it apart for a look. The wires to the speaker are long enough for me to take it our and place it on the floor and it is still sounding dodgy. It's like a torn cone but I can't see any evidence of that. Note: I haven't pushed it as I just use it at home but I bought it 2nd hand a couple of years ago Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markstuk Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 From reading talkbass it's an OEM version of the eminence deltalite - so you should be able to get it reconed easily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pinball Posted January 22, 2017 Author Share Posted January 22, 2017 (edited) Sorted thanks....I'm ashamed to say that it was a vibration problem of some kind. I'm still not sure what but maybe something to do with the edge of the speaker unit. It occurred to me that it was actually sounding worse when out of the cab so it may be something to do with vibration. I went back and tightened everything in the cab and put back the speaker taking care that it sitting right and wasn't touching any of the sides as it is a snug fit. It now sounds great-better than it has for ages so I maybe fixed more than one rattle Thanks all Edited January 22, 2017 by Pinball Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
