Thanks for replying Lozz. With my amp (it's an Ampeg B2R) which only puts out 350w (which I believe is at 4ohm though so only 250w at 8ohm), I run the para EQ on flat with the graphic switched in when needed only slightly boosting mids/highs. I've never actually run the amp above 5 either so it's not been maxed out. With that in mind, would that cause a problem?

Hi Greg, Thanks for your reply. I understand that the cabs are tuned to the speakers spec and this is one thing i would kind of been worried about. I used to use a 4x12 that had a mix of celestions and eminence speakers in it. I didn't notice any discernable difference but then again, I didn't know the speakers where different until id owned it for a few years so I didn't really know much difference with it. As for where I found it, it was on thomann, I'll post the link below. Available immediately too. http://www.thomann.de/gb/hartke_10_ersatzlautsprecher.htm Hope that helps your friend

Hey guys and girls. I've got an Ampeg SVT410HE cab which I love but I also love the old Hartke 410XL cabs with the aluminium speakers so I was thinking of trading out 2 of the speakers in my Ampeg for a couple of the Hartke aluminium speakers. Essentially, I'd have it so I had the 2 Ampeg ones at the bottom with the 2 aluminium ones above that. My main question is whether or not this would be dangerous for the cab at all? I would go for 2 cabs but I don't want to lug 2 cabs about and I don't want to move down to using 2 2x12 cabs or changing my cab. I considered getting one of the new Hartke HyDrive cabs as they sound phenomenal but they're a bit expensive. The speakers (new) are £50 and there rated 8ohm @ 100w each where as my cab is an 8ohm cab rated at 500w. Has anyone mixed speakers before? Did it work?
