LITTLEWING Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 The 15" in my Hartke VX115 is starting to sound a bit 'farty' lately (Hartke 300 watt head - works fine with an Ashdown cab). I've done the 180 degree turn, checked and cleaned the socket and all the usual stuff but it still begins to distort even when not exactly pushed. (Nothing to do with the crossover, I bypassed that straight to the speaker as it was actually cracked across the pcb and not connecting the tweeter anyway). So, what would be better - a Fane Sovereign or a Celestion Green Label? Both 400 watts and a difference of about a tenner. Not looking for anything sparkly of gnarly, just a nice tight overall sound for the usual rock/soul/funk covers thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassBunny Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 You need to model the cab in WinSD to see which performs best. Just sticking any old speaker in could result in it sounding worse than it does now, or it could sound better but it's a lottery. I'm sure someone could model it for you if you measure the inside of the cab. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LITTLEWING Posted July 27, 2019 Author Share Posted July 27, 2019 Well, after reading a few reviews, I've pulled the trigger on a Fane Sovereign 15-400LF, (15" 400 watts 8 ohms). Keep you posted when it's up and running. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
