chyc Posted February 27, 2022 Share Posted February 27, 2022 My guess is the original speakers are blown. The BN10-300X are no slouch, so if it works with the cab, it's a tempting price currently at 99p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reggaebass Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 BF cab’s are really well built and light, so I think even with those speakers it could still be be a nice cab Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merton Posted February 28, 2022 Author Share Posted February 28, 2022 Could be. Could also be a crap shoot with drivers in a box not designed for them. Could be a cheap winner or a disaster I guess 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LukeFRC Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 flog the speakers and send it back to barefaced to have the correct speakers added and it might not be the worst idea. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reggaebass Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 How much do you think it would be to have the right speakers fitted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merton Posted February 28, 2022 Author Share Posted February 28, 2022 That’s a good question, no idea! No doubt more than the Celestions each … would £150/driver be too much? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Jack Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 Perhaps more importantly, why on earth would you do this? "The speakers are 8Ohm. Currently wired in series so it's a 16 Ohm cab. (Can be re-wired to parallel very easily to give net 4 Ohm if you wanted)" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe the seller wanted to use in conjunction with another cab and that'd take the load below 4ohm? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you run a 16 Ohm 2x10 with an 8 Ohm 4 x 10, the total load will be 5.33 (repeating of course) Ohm, but most importantly I believe the load on all 6 cones will be spread evenly. May be desirable if you have identical speakers in the two cabinets. I may be in the minority, but I have an amp that cannot go down to 4 Ohms. That's another possibility. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lemmywinks Posted March 1, 2022 Share Posted March 1, 2022 As a cab of unknown performance it might be worth a punt if someone is interested in tidying it up and rewiring it to 4ohms. Realistically what would a good condition Two 10 be selling for, around £550? A shabby example with tolex peeling all over the show and a knackered handle probably £100 less, then factor in whatever the cost would be to restore it to original spec means there probably isn't got a lot of wiggle room and you might as well just wait for a nicer one to appear. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gjones Posted March 22, 2022 Share Posted March 22, 2022 I changed the speaker in an underpowered Ashdown cab, for a bigger and more powerful one (from 200 to 400 watts). Amazingly it sounded pretty good but I wouldn't buy a cab, that had the speakers swapped, without hearing it first. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lowend soldier Posted April 17, 2022 Share Posted April 17, 2022 I spoke to the guy. Hes got multiple barefaced cabs. Said a speaker stopped working in this and alex wanted too much for a speaker apparently. He had another cab with a dodgy speaker in it so he donored the good speaker into that. Didnt question him on the wiring job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcnach Posted April 24, 2022 Share Posted April 24, 2022 So he managed to destroy two speakers? Good job the new ones are 'unused' then... It sounds like this guy likes to push them hard. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
