Are Eminence Alpha 10's really a close match to the driver in the Ampeg SVT210HE cab? I am using the SVT210HE at the moment borrowed from my father-in-law. However, my 'new' cabs are similar in size a volume - peavey tx cabs unloaded tuned for 40hz with crossover and horn at 3500hz - 80 liters or 3 cu ft volume - ported at the rear. I have opted for the Eminence Beta as I prefer some low end. However, I am wondering if I could have used the Alpha...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Starr Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 [quote name='aende' timestamp='1358415163' post='1938603'] Interesting - I looked at the eminence beta too. I spoke to blue aran and they recommended a p audio driver..... This may be a suck it and see.....

[/quote] Well that's kind of true but if it sounds s**t then being loud and s**t won't help any more than sounding great at one watt but exceeding xmax at anything like stage volume.

I was going to put the drivers into winisd for you but if you've ordered it is too late. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aende Posted January 17, 2013 Author Share Posted January 17, 2013 (edited) Doh!!!!!! Very kind of you to offer your time. The beta looked better than the alpha for bass. Noted on bills site the svt 210he uses a similar driver to the alpha. I also noted that the beta has been used successfully in peavey 210 cabs...we'll see though Edited January 17, 2013 by aende Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aende Posted January 21, 2013 Author Share Posted January 21, 2013 **Update** Just installed Eminence Beta 10 8 ohms into the Peavey TX 210 cabs... They sound excellent! I am very very happy with them. great amount of thud and lots of definition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
