Eminence Commonwealth 12s

[technomancer]

I was just wondering if anybody has ever tried these out? They look like they could be interesting with the extended low range.

gonna pop one in one of your Thieles?

i thought about getting one of those myself, to build a 1x12 for my Sovtek.

can i buy the speaker you replace it with? C90 or the EV, i can't lose!

I'm actually pondering building a 2x12 because, you know, I don't have enough gear

I'm also concerned there may be something wrong with the EV Thiele... it's reading 6ohms instead of 8 and I've tested the cable and that's not it

Most of the 412 cabs I've tested have read around 13 ohms. Speakers deal with ohms impedence rather than ohms resistance so unless you tested it before and the reading changed or tone quality changed, I'd say it's ok. The strength of the battery in your meter can effect the reading as well.. I haven't tried the eminence.. let us know how it works if you try one....

Thanks for the info, I appreciate it

It was the meter built into the ENGL SE

lol wtf it had the meter built in?
thats rediculous. and awesome.
maybe i WOULD buy an engl...
if you've got the money to throw at em, those speakers should be worth a try

 

[technomancer]

Hehe yeah man the SE is insane. It's got a built in bias meter, cable tester, and speaker ohm load tester.

 

[budda]

so really, its an amp, plus an amp repair kit... daag yo! lol

let us know how the speaker deal goes.. i need some cash so's to swap out the speaks in the triple X cab. but first, my JB!

 

[technomancer]

Yeah and add to that the fact that it sounds amazing both quiet and loud both clean and with rip your face off gain

Anyways if I do the speaker / cabinet thing I'll definitely be posting pics etc.

 

[ibznorange]

hell yes you will
i wonder if i could install that shit into a framus manually...

The Commonwealths are kinda more clean/bluesy speakers than anything else, but they do handle a shitload of power and will never ever distort.
