devil_bassman Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 Hi guys. Pulled these out of my trace 2x15 and are completely dead, what would you recommend as replacements. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balcro Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 Hello d-b, Judging by the steel basket, those speakers appear to be Celestions, custom made for Trace Elliot. Send an e-mail to - [email protected] -- and give him a full description of your speaker. He can probably tell you a modern equivilant that will be suitable. See also - celestion.com/contact/ Balcro.

mikeydee Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 There are lots of options on blue aran website like Celestion, fane eminence etc. Maybe you need more power handling capability than 200 watts given both shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devil_bassman Posted May 5, 2015 Author Share Posted May 5, 2015 That's what I'm thinking, I'm running an orange terror bass 500, it's 500 watts does that mean the speakers I get have to be 500 watts or above? Sorry for being thick, I'm only a bassist after all Haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hubrad Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 Another option is to have the existing ones reconed.. not many of these guys around these days, but in the North there's RMJ.. http://www.recones.com/ Roy has done a couple of my 'Custom made by Eminence for xxx' speakers, brilliant job!

hubrad Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 [quote name='devil_bassman' timestamp='1430822440' post='2764824'] That's what I'm thinking, I'm running an orange terror bass 500, it's 500 watts does that mean the speakers I get have to be 500 watts or above? Sorry for being thick, I'm only a bassist after all Haha [/quote] As the TB500 has switchable output impedance, I'd guess it's capable of putting out the full 500W RMS (so can spike higher than that) into an 8Ohm cab, which is what you have with 2 x 16Ohm speakers, when played flat out. Are you likely to really push your amp? 2 speakers in parallel, each capable of taking 200W, gives you 400W handling. Thus it depends on you not to hit the cab TOO hard as it stands. If you tend to really push it (you must be in a mad loud band!) you'd probably be better with 300 or 400W speakers x 2 for a bit of leeway. If you go down that road, they tend to get heavier and more expensive! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoonBassAlpha Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 Did you destroy this cab using your terror bass? Wembley loudspeakers are good for all speaker repairs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
