Members ThunderShepherd Posted August 28, 2008 Members Share Posted August 28, 2008 i have an old Marshall cab that i feel like switching speakers out of. what is the best speaker for stoner rock/doom/heavy rock sound? like, heavy as hell. i'm looking for 12"s. i have a Gibson LP Custom, an Ampeg V4, a Marshall JCM800 2204, Acoustic 140, and a slew of pedals. i've been looking into Eminence and WGS, but i don't know whats the best for it.

Members .homewrecker. Posted August 29, 2008 Members Share Posted August 29, 2008 loud ones I personally like greenbacks with the v4, getting those speakers to break up along with that amp sounds like total sonic chaos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members iamthearm Posted August 29, 2008 Members Share Posted August 29, 2008 stoner/doom tends toward nice speaker breakup so i'd say since that's a 50 watter put some greenbacks, or hellatone 25 watters in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members thesplawnster Posted August 29, 2008 Members Share Posted August 29, 2008 Ted Webers British series- 1225, 1230, 1230-55, 1265, 12M, 12V Axis 12, or the FC12, Give Ted a call and he can build a speaker to your specs. Great speakers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members The Riffer Posted August 29, 2008 Members Share Posted August 29, 2008 The swamp thangs are good. A huge bottom, subdued mid and a smooth highend. I found mine needed some help, so I added Man O War's which are punchy and have a mid grind. MAde a nice Quad. The Tonkers are also good. My favorites I've had though are my Celestion G12H 125w. Just huge lowend, very warm and when you crank up the treble/prescence, they sing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Uncle_Milton Posted August 29, 2008 Members Share Posted August 29, 2008 swamp thangs, legends, and greenbacks This is exactly what I'm currently working on... mix the legends and swamp thangs for live. If you're recording use a track with the greenies to give you speaker break up when needed. If you try to play doom with greenies at the correct volume, in live situations, you will blow them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ThunderShepherd Posted August 29, 2008 Author Members Share Posted August 29, 2008 just thought i should mention, the cabs i'm using now are: 1978 Marshall 4x12 with original G12H30s (probably my favorite)2002 Orange 4x12 with v30s (eh...)1970s Ampeg 2x15 with orig. Altec Lansing speakers (this was amazing but the speakers are toast) the one i'm wanting to mess around with is:1978 Marshall 4x12 with orig. G1265s and some new v30s (kinda brittle) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Warhorse Posted November 13, 2008 Members Share Posted November 13, 2008 Weber will make some high watt speaker with "tone" I'd atleast get some 50 watter's:thu: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try 2 1/2 times that. V4/VT22s are some of the loudest amps you'll ever hear. I would go with some G12H-30/V30 mix if I was sticking with Celestions. If I was going the WGS route I would go with either ET65, ET65/Vet 30 mix, or ET65/Retro 30 mix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you just can't gel with the mid-spike, or the kind of hard coarse mids they have, then hunt down some old G1265 to pop in with the two you have.
