Ampeg - what do they make their cones out of?

[ashevans09]

Hellooo,

So! Very quick Q, what are the Ampeg Classic series cones made out of? Couldn't get an answer from google.

Thanks!

Apart from some Hartke drivers every bass cab on the market uses paper cones (some have a modicum of other fibres in the mix). It's a very good material for high sensitivity 'full-range' drivers.

Unless you believe the chap in Reverb who told me paper only produces lows and ali only produces highs. And I was wrong that the sealed cab was choking off the lows as I played a low A into it, because it is a 1000w cab.

They are not neodymium driver also, in case that was included in the question, fairly sure tthey are pretty standard sorta things in all respects, quite good paper and ceramic magnet drivers.
