Ampeg portabass speaker

[siggi]

Repair or replace ? I'm getting a dirty cracking sound from the top speaker in my Portabass 212 cab. I've checked it and there is no visible signs. I run it with a Markbass LittleMark II. It works hard but is never caned. What and where can i go for help. I'm in Leicester

Does it do this at low volume as well or just high vol?
First off, check the cabling, are the cables soldered or do they use clips on spades?
Could be a loose connection so try to check that thoroughly before worrying about recones etc.
Not many people do Ampeg recones but you can try Wembley speakers (http://www.wembleyloudspeaker.com/index-frames.html)
They seem to do most things.

It is more noticeable as the gain is increased. I've checked the connections which are spades and a good fit. And thanks I will check that web address ..
