Members Weathered Posted July 17, 2007 Members Share Posted July 17, 2007 A Greenback would be a bad idea. One 25 watt speaker being driven by a 50 watt amp = bad news. If you want Greenback tone, look at the Celestion G12-65. If you're doing more modern tones, the Vintage 30 or CL80 are good choices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think V30 will be too bright, I was thinking abt the G12H30 too anyone tried that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Greenback will be brighter (as far as actual high end) than the V30 will. A G12H30 would be at risk of being cooked, too, as it's a 30 watt driver. You need something rated for at least 50 watts in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members slash81291 Posted July 17, 2007 Members Share Posted July 17, 2007 id just throw in a v30, they sound great with all the other HK stuff I have played, although I have never tried a the SB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ampwhore Posted July 17, 2007 Author Members Share Posted July 17, 2007 I had many V30s cab...I think 1 x V30 in the combo will be too bright, anyone tried the Celestion hot 100? Any good? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members starsnuffer Posted July 17, 2007 Members Share Posted July 17, 2007 Eh. It's not really the kind of amp where changing out the spearker is going to improve much about it. What about the speaker don't you like? The EQ on all the channels is pretty damn versatile. Your better bet is to get a closed 2x12 or something with the speakers of your choice and push that instead. -W Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No.... V30's in a 2x12 or 4x12 is fine, for most applications. Asking a single V30 to get cranked with 50 watts all on it's own is not ideal, IMHO. Put the bad ass EV 12l in there and light up the sky. It will take all the punishment you can dish. Stays on the money even when your amp is dimed If it fits.
