orangepeelneil Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 Hi everyone, I pickup up an Ashdown ABM 115 locally with a dead speaker recently, the cab is solid ply , not too heavy and decent condition and I want to put a replacement/upgrade in it. Any recommendations? weight isn't an issue for me... Dimensions are 660mm (H) x 420mm x (D) x 600mm (W) minus a bit bit for the internal handles, which are recessed ply. It has two rear ports 75mm diameter x 100mm long. The SICA speaker is open circuit and has totally lost it pistonic function, it just mechanically grinds…but not in a good way...😬 I’ve looked on lots of bass forums and these SICA speakers often come up as failed in cabs, are they underpowered? weak to physical impact? ( I think this cab was somehow knocked over from upright to face down) or ? Thanks in advance Neil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassBunny Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 I'd have a word with Dave Green at Ashdown. He is best placed to offer a suggested replacement. Failing that one of the BC speaker experts should be along any moment.😉. To model the cab for a suitable replacement might need the internal measurements rather than external.

Lozz196 Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 Would be my suggestion too, Dave prob the best placed. I know for the 10s he usually recommends Eminence Betas but not sure re 15s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skybone Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 Thirded. Give Ashdown a call, they should be able to sort you out with a new speaker for a reasonable price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
basstone Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 Agree to all of the above. In my experience Ashdown are great to deal with and always prepared to go the extra mile to help out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
