Jaybeevee Posted July 16, 2023 Share Posted July 16, 2023 Sorry i don’t have much to go on, but can anyone help me identify this eminence 12” driver please? it’s out of a TKS 1126 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chyc Posted July 16, 2023 Share Posted July 16, 2023 (edited) To my untrained eye it looks like a kappalite. I'd weigh it and see if it matches for weight. Edited July 16, 2023 by chyc Fix typo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chyc Posted July 16, 2023 Share Posted July 16, 2023 I think the Kappalite 3012HO would have been a more appropriate fit for the cabinet in question. Looks identical to the Kappalite 3012LF but is a smidgen lighter so I would double check the weight. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaybeevee Posted July 16, 2023 Author Share Posted July 16, 2023 (edited) Many thanks, confirmed it as a kappalite 3012LF 👍 Edited July 17, 2023 by Jaybeevee 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could be a 3012HO, could be a 3012LF, which has a deeper rear 'mushroom'. Or it could be an OEM version of either. TBH neither the HO or LF are ideal for electric bass. An OEM with specs midway between them, along with the longer voice coil that the extended mushroom allows, beats them both. I've worked with a few of those designing commercial cabs. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chienmortbb Posted July 17, 2023 Share Posted July 17, 2023 I was hoping @Bill Fitzmaurice would reply= and I agree with him. Likely a custom Kappalite as supplied to a number of cabinetmakers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Fitzmaurice Posted July 17, 2023 Share Posted July 17, 2023 Offhand I'd say it's a 3012LF magnet structure judging by the depth of the recess in the mushroom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
