Members t_e_l_e Posted December 16, 2006 Members Share Posted December 16, 2006 i have my c30 stock since i got it.now i'm buying an 2w tube amp kit and have to opportunity to buy also a speaker with discount, but only 10" or 12" celestions.the kit will go in an old unused ss combo where only an 8" speaker fits so i thought i could upgrade my classic 30 instead with this offer. the c30 manual says 8 or 16ohm but its a bit confusing, is the internal speaker 8 ohm and external needs to be 16? i don't have the amp at home so can only look to the inside now. would you buy a g12-t or a vintage 30, or would a g12-h also be sufficient enough? if i don't use this offer which other speaker would you suggest?

Members TwistnSplash Posted December 16, 2006 Members Share Posted December 16, 2006 I'd go with G12H. In my opinion it's an awsome speaker. It kinda combines Greenback and vintage30 sound. Nice and not to agressive on treble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bluesmang Posted December 16, 2006 Members Share Posted December 16, 2006 I tried several different Celestions in mine and ended staying with the Vintage 30. I've been playing it for 3 years with zero complaints. IMO, it was the best overall sounding speaker for what the amp can do. It chimed up the cleans just enough and added some rock grit to the dirty channel. I was very happy with the tone... but to each his own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Armoredfist316 Posted December 16, 2006 Members Share Posted December 16, 2006 I have a G12H-80 in mine and its alright, but i think itsa better suited for a sealed cab so im gonna put a vintage 30 in it so thats what i would say to go with. And its a 16ohm speaker and 16ohm ext cab also. Unless you never are gonna use an extension speaker and then im pretty sure you can go with an 8 ohm in there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members t_e_l_e Posted December 17, 2006 Author Members Share Posted December 17, 2006 still unsure, but thx for the answer so far Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members PGS412 Posted December 17, 2006 Members Share Posted December 17, 2006 I tried a few celestions in mine too & settled on the G12H30 (in the amp and the 112e cab) Reason being (for me) is that i don't use much gain with this amp & the G12H30 sounds great with that, and gets better when pushed.

Members FLYING V 83 Posted December 17, 2006 Members Share Posted December 17, 2006 I put an 8 ohm V30 in mine and it made a big difference. The amp will take either an 8 or 16, but if you want to run a 1x12 extension cab then they both have to be 16s' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Eric Dahlberg Posted December 17, 2006 Members Share Posted December 17, 2006 Vintage 30 in mine, as well. It opened up the tone quite a bit over the stock speaker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
