aende Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 Just a thought; I had a scooch about on t'interweb. PA drivers seem to be a bit cheaper, but with a better spec; larger frequency range and high sensitivity. Wattages and impedence seem to match up well. Any reported problems? Are 'bass guitar specific drivers quite simply a marketing ploy to push the numbers up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Vader Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 I have PA drivers in PA cabs, been using them for years and years and years. Even changed the drivers to newer PA drivers when the old ones went sh*tshaped. They are fine, i like them a lot. Specifically celestions in old Laney 15" cabs with the horns pulled out. These ones here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bremen Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 Aye, me and Barefaced. PA bass drivers tend to not have the HF extension of designed-for-bass drivers, so I (we) tend to add HF drivers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beer of the Bass Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 (edited) Relatively few drivers are sold as being bass-guitar specific, and that includes the ones used in many commercial bass cabs. I've got a cab using B&C 12HPL64s, which I believe are intended as a PA midbass driver. Edited January 11, 2013 by Beer of the Bass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
