steelman Posted February 2, 2012 Posted February 2, 2012 Wondering if anyone can confirm this is ok. I have a Hartke VX210 cab with a blowing driver... Its £60.00 to replace. I've just seen 2 X10 Hartke speakers for sale out of a 4.5XL cab ( 4X10) Aluminium type... ( £50.00 pair) Can these be used in the VX cab?? At least I'll have 2 drivers with equal use ( they've had little use) rather than 1 good and 1 old speaker if I replace with a new VX speaker.... Any thoughts.... Its the fixings that concern me most. C Quote
paul_5 Posted February 2, 2012 Posted February 2, 2012 VX210 is 8Ohm and 250 Watts, 4.5XL is 400W and 8 Ohms, You'd probably end up with a 200W cab,a s (i think) the cones in the VX are 125W each, and the XL cones are 100W each. Depending on how they're wired inside the cabinet your impedance may drop to 4 Ohms, which might be an issue if your amp is delivering 250W at 8 Ohms (to match your current cab). If your head will go down to 4Ohms, then you'll be chucking out close to 400W (max) into a 200W cab - net result is two more blown cones... Quote
steelman Posted February 2, 2012 Author Posted February 2, 2012 Well spotted Paul! Just took the front off and each speaker is 16 ohm on the VX - the ones on ebay are 8 ohms each. good old basschat........ C Quote
paul_5 Posted February 2, 2012 Posted February 2, 2012 You'll be able to run them in series and still have an 8 Ohm load, but then you'd probably be limited to 100W. It's always worth Emailing Hartke, they're pretty nice people. Also there's a Hydrive 410 for sale on here - please buy it quick, as there's only so long I can resist getting a second one... Quote
