Members roccoboy Posted December 21, 2005 Members Share Posted December 21, 2005 I have a C.V. sub enclosure that the original speaker is blown. Any suggestions as to a replacement - a Peavey Lowrider perhaps? Or something in the Emminence line? On-line sources for the suggestions if available would be appreciated! The cab is very similar in size and shape to a Yorkville LS808. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members agedhorse Posted December 21, 2005 Members Share Posted December 21, 2005 How about reconing your CV driver? That's bound to be less expensive and more compatable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members roccoboy Posted December 23, 2005 Author Members Share Posted December 23, 2005 Well the speaker had some issues that meant it wasn't salvageable - two of the pins holding pn the magnet were sheared off and the magnet was cracked. The old stroker is RIP'ing as a boat anchor somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members agedhorse Posted December 23, 2005 Members Share Posted December 23, 2005 Eminence Kappa 18 is about as close to orignial as you can get. The Ohmega may be a better performer, BUT you will need to be sure either of these will fit in the cabinet if it's a folded horn version (B36 etc). There can be issues depending on the cabinet version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members tlbonehead Posted December 23, 2005 Members Share Posted December 23, 2005 Looks like most of the Eminences are 8.15" deep. BW Low Riders and JBL 2241's are about 7". If the driver is the standard CV 189E,they pop up on Ebay quite regularly. And PSSL had a hot deal on them a while back for $99. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members roccoboy Posted December 23, 2005 Author Members Share Posted December 23, 2005 The stock speaker was a Stroker 189SC. The cab is not a folded horn but a straight ahead firing vented type . SW18 is the model I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ear Abuser Posted December 23, 2005 Members Share Posted December 23, 2005 If it is a vented enclosure, you could measure the enclosure and use a speaker modeling program like WinISD to try different speakers until you find one that looks like it will work.Make sure you check the maximum power input curve -you can sometime come up with combinations that have good low end at low power levels, but run out of excursion pretty quickly at higher power. WinISD will show this, but you have to run the maximum power curve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With a folded horn, not only is the overall depth inportant, butt he magnet diameter also comes into play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True. Since the inner enclosure is angled on the magnet side,the larger the magnet diameter,the more chance for fitting issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
