Anyone ever figure out how mesa speakers are loaded?

[HolyDirt]

There was a thread a while ago where someone asked how speakers were loaded in a mesa cabinet, did you guys ever figure out whether they're loaded in the front or the back?

I think it depends on the cabinet

Mine (Recto Std 4x12) are rear loaded.

Traditional Recto 4x12 here, rear loaded.

I put up that post. They are rear loaded and you need a 9mm socket and a soldering iron. Remove like a car tire in diagonal pattern to loosen the nuts from the bolts. Way easier than I thought. I am looking to swap 2 of my vintage 30s for 2 black shadows if you have any?

The older Mesa metal grill cabs are front-loaded as are their bass cabs.
