Speaker gurus, would these two drivers . . .

[SirJackdeFuzz]

. . . "work" together in a 2X12, atleast on black & white ?

http://professional.celestion.com/guitar/products/heritage/spec.asp?ID=7 - 30W, 100dB


. . . or will one over-power the other due to the 4dB diffs ?

No use if you can only hear the one and not the other.

What do you guys think ?

Thanx

Re: Speaker gurus, would these two drivers . . .

id be thinking its a big difference. Why do you want to mix it up anyway?

Re: Speaker gurus, would these two drivers . . .

You can do it but the 20 watter is gonna get lost quick...

A plain version Greenback is 98db and wil be much closer but still will favor the H30

Just an idea i am playing with.

The one is classic rock crunch, while the other has a bit more in the low end.
I thought together they can cover more ground, in a good way.

Mmmmm, so best not to try it then . . . it might end up as an expensive test.

What do you mean by plain version ?

Re: Speaker gurus, would these two drivers . . .

Plain version is the G12M25 Greenback, NOT the Heritage version which FWIW, a lot of guys think sounds better than the Heritage.

As for mixing the 2 I think the h30 will just stomp the 20 watter not to mention the additional low end you'd get from a single h30 isn't even worth talking about IMHO.

If you're only gonna run 2 speakers just run a V30 and an H30...thats a GREAT mix that will hold up to 60 watts and has plenty of low end.

Re: Speaker gurus, would these two drivers . . .

Also while we're at it I'm sure you're looking at the Heritage H30 too...don't bother...it's not really more low end its more like a more punchy low mid thing over the 75th Anniversary G12H30...

This is my favourite combo in a 2x12.

with 2 mixed speaker cabs....which one do you get the sound guy to mic?

Which ever...

In my V Front Super I use one alnico (Weber 10A100T) and one ceramic (Weber 10F125) and love it...live I, as a general rule mic rthe alnico but I have picked the caramic too...

Sound guy?
Mic?

GUITAR?!

What mythical fairyland do you live in, sir, where guitar players' amps are mic'd?!

Sounds wonderful!!!

Yeah, go with a V30 and a GH30. You'll have great mids, lows, highs, punch and crunch.

Re: Speaker gurus, would these two drivers . . .

I run clones of those (WGS) and love the tone but the clones are 100dB each so no sensitivity mismatch and I believe thats what matchless DC30 cabs have (modded celestion greenbach and H30)

Re: Speaker gurus, would these two drivers . . .

matchless used to pair the g12m and g12h and it was a great sounding match up but not very thick on the bottom breaks up alot if you hit it hard.

ive have a g12h/v30 pair in my 2x12 for years and havent found anything i like more. its a great pairing, you get a more aggressive top and bottom with more breakup from the h30 and a cleaner punchier mid range from the v30. they balance each other very well and its a loud ass cab. my vibro king 2x12 is louder than my friends 1960a
