Some manufacturers actually have the speaker tailored to the amp, particularly with small amps/speakers.

Replacement is a doddle - unsolder the 2 cables attached to the back of the old speaker, replace it with the new speaker and connect up the two wires.

You have to take some of the reviews on Harmony Central with a pinch of salt. Read through something with lots of reviews and you will see everything from the "greatest thing since sliced bread" to "biggest load of garbage ever produced". The problem that you will face is the uncertainty of which speaker to use, to get the sound YOU want (not what a total stranger reckons is HIS dream sound) - Celestion, Eminence, Jensen or something else? Will any one of those give you the sound that you are looking for and how are you going to find out, without buying one of each? You are looking at just one and a cheap one at that - I think speakers is probably one area that you get what you pay for, although Celestion is generally good. Will that speaker sound better to you?

Sorry to pour a bit of cold water on your idea, but it is something that you should consider carefully, before spending money. Apart from which,, you will void any warranty by changing the speaker.

Please tell us what you decide and how it goes/went]]> Live Sound greybeard https://guitarnoise.forum/live-sound/replacing-stock-speaker/#post-65381 https://guitarnoise.forum/live-sound/replacing-stock-speaker/#post-65344 Wed, 18 Aug 2004 02:42:05 +0000 if you know how to do it why not share wisdom? rather than ask me what i hope to achieve?

and i hope to achieve better sound because i saw it in a Harmony- central user review actually from 2 of them.]]> Live Sound shabu https://guitarnoise.forum/live-sound/replacing-stock-speaker/#post-65344 https://guitarnoise.forum/live-sound/replacing-stock-speaker/#post-65327 Wed, 18 Aug 2004 01:03:57 +0000
