Members LoC Posted October 29, 2007 Members Share Posted October 29, 2007 Okay, so my Ampeg Classic Series 212 has a torn speaker, as it has been since last Xmas. I just duct taped it and moved on. However, now the tear is extending around the cone area and am afraid the new speaker repair job (el duct tape-o) just isn't going to cut it. Furthermore, as evidenced by the 200 watt RMS rating, used in conjunction with an Ampeg 410 Classic, and a 450 watt at 8 ohm SVT-III Pro, the 212 just can not keep up with the higher volumes. So, to avoid buying a whole new 212, what about upgrading both speakers? I know there needs to be consideration for resonance frequency, ported (which the 212 is), volume of cab, etc... but I don't know much about these things. I like the sound quite a bit, but I want to know if I can upgrade to 300+ watts and still get a very similar or better sound. Any thoughts?

Members garytees Posted October 29, 2007 Members Share Posted October 29, 2007 I've used black silicone for minor repairs to my speakers (non-Ampeg). If you can't get help here, maybe try the Ampeg support site: http://www.ampeg.com/support.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Fiery Furnace Posted October 29, 2007 Members Share Posted October 29, 2007 They might not sound anything like the ampeg speakers, but the Emminance Delta series are excellent and affordable (the ones used in Avatar cabs) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
