Just curious; I bought an oversized Diezel 2x12 cab years ago that came with Eminence speakers, but after looking at their website (back then), they're supposedly only loaded with Celestion V30's, and don't mention anything about Eminence speakers being an option. I was under the impression that V-30's were in there, but when the salesperson took off the back, they were Eminence speakers. To make a long story short, they sound like CRAP, just like the ones in Fender combos. Even the Soldano 4x12 loaded with Eminence speakers sounded like s**t compared to the Celestion-loaded cabs from the shootouts I've seen on YouTube. They sound muddy and like cardboard compared to the stock G12T-75's in my Marshall 4x12. Oddly enough, I've been seeing a lot of folks touting Eminence speakers on various websites, including this one. I''m eventually going to change the speakers in my Diezel cab, but to play it safe, I think I'll stick to Celestions.

Re: Diezel oversized 2x12 cab with Eminence speakers
The eminence/fender special design speakers that you find in fender combos are nothing like eminence patriot or redcoat line speakers.
Its like comparing a squier to a USA fender.
Eminence make a wide range of really sweet speakers to suit various purposes. It really comes down to what sound you want most and then finding the right model for the job.
It sounds like you have made up your mind to get V30s for your cab...which are killer speakers and it sounds like that's exactly the sound you are after, but for future reference don't write off all of the entire eminence range based on those ****ty gold special design speakers .Last edited by Chickenwings; 11-05-2012, 07:34 PM."Technique is really the elimination of the unneccessary ... it is a constant effort to avoid any personal impediment or obstacle to acheive the smooth flow of energy and intent"

Oh, so they're the Gold Special design speakers by Eminence? I didn't get a detailed look at the Eminence speakers in my Diezel, but I'm sure they're the Gold Special based on the tone. For 1K, looks like my Diezel cab is overPRICED as well as oversized

Re: Diezel oversized 2x12 cab with Eminence speakers
I'd recommend a Vin 30 and a G12T-75. That's what the Bogner Ubercab comes with. They mesh nicely and fill out all the frequencies you want to hear.Originally posted by Boogie BillI've got 60 guitars...but 49 trumpets is just...INSANITY! WTF!

Originally posted by TheTranslator View PostActually, I might stay with the G12T-75's. Although they can be a tad sharp, they seem to be pretty balanced. V30's have the rep for lacking bass, and since I've never used them, I'm not sure if I'm willing to take a gamble on them. Since I don't have the resources to check-out the various higher-end Eminence models (other than what's on Youtube), I'll have to stick to what works best now.
Oh, so they're the Gold Special design speakers by Eminence? I didn't get a detailed look at the Eminence speakers in my Diezel, but I'm sure they're the Gold Special based on the tone.
