ardi100 Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 Just wondering really. My EBS 2000 (15" with tweeter) has a small tear in the speaker cone. Easy enough to repair, I'm assured, but I got to wondering after reading lots of cabinet build diaries. Would it be better to just replace the speaker with a totally new one? I was thinking along the lines of a 4 ohm neo around 400 watts (the current speaker is 400 watts, 4ohms). I was totally happy with the stock sound before the tear (damned hihat stand), but now I've convinced myself there's a slight 'woofy' sound to it. How easy/difficult would it be and what would driver would suit? Any suggestions welcome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

synaesthesia Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 cut a strip of lens cleaning tissue, soak in PVA, lay up over tear, repeat if you need to make it thicker or stretch over a larger tear.

Depends what sound you are looking for I guess. Each to their own! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bass_ferret Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 Yes - and the EBS Neo 115 is a much larger cab than the 300 so the speaker may not be a good match for the cab. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
