Re: Weber speaker beam blocker??? like dislike dont care??
Finally tried the Beam blocker. I tried every combination of the 4 inch and 5 inch versions on my Mesa cab loaded with 2 vintage 30s on top and 2 g12k100 speakers on the bottom.
The v30s need the 5 inch version to get rid of alot of the annoying frequencies. The 4 inch version still retains some sizzle and while being less annoying, it still needs the 5 inch version in my oppinion. The g12k100 speakers dont really need them at all and actually lose a little oomph with either version. I would not use the 5 inch version on the g12k100 but the 4 inch version is ok if you dont mind losing a little life from the speaker in return for a less high tone. I bought 1 of each and now have them on the v30s. I will be ordering 1 more of the 5 inch version for the v30 and selling the 4 inch version.
Note: I had to buy some "Ultra heavy duty" felt strip 1/2 x 60 inches made by waxman at Meijer shopping center here in Michigan. It is made for furniture as not to scratch wood floors etc. You have to put it on the seal of the speaker and cut where the holes are to mount the speaker. The Beam blockers are too close to the speaker and press against it slightly and they rattle unless you make the speaker farther away, hence the felt strip. In retrospect, I probably would have placed the sticky side of the felt strip on the wood instead of the speaker itself as once its on, its on.
I would definateley recommend the beam blocker for speakers such as the v30 or g12t75
