Members blazingblake Posted December 28, 2011 Author Members Share Posted December 28, 2011 Like 25 I believe its the airline equavilent of silvertone 1484 one channel was disconnected, I dont like speaker distortion I like, a good thick overdrive sound. I play a squier strat and a washburn widl-64 through it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could be competing with the other speaker. You need to look at SPL (sound pressure level) of both speakers and resonant frequency. If the spl of your new speaker is lower than the one in it you'll only hear the old speaker & vice versa. The two need to be within one db of each other. Resonant frequency is something most people overlook. If you have differences you can get icepick, oscillations or a number of other problems, especially if the resonant frequencies are close to each other but not exact.

Members blazingblake Posted December 28, 2011 Author Members Share Posted December 28, 2011 Yeah customtele I think its overpowering the other speaker I have no idea what the other one is theres no info stamped on it or anything. I backed the tone all the way off and it sounds fine, it only has one tone control no bass or treble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members WRGKMC Posted December 28, 2011 Members Share Posted December 28, 2011 The matching the frequency responce and spl is key. The new speaker likely has a wider responce and the older speaker neededalot more trebble because its responce was narrow. Look at the speakers specs.if you can find the specs for your fender speaker and its hot a top end of say 6Khz,then getting something 4 or 5K might make for a match. Its hard to guess what the original speakercould do. All you can do is put it on a sweep generator, sweep the frequencies and see where its responce maxes out. You can mix and match speakers and get some good combinations, but in many cases if the SPL levels arent close you're better off getting a matched pair.

Members STRANDMAN Posted December 29, 2011 Members Share Posted December 29, 2011 Ice pick is almost always cured by using the right speaker. This one did it for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members dkal24 Posted December 29, 2011 Members Share Posted December 29, 2011 For about $150.00 you can change both sPeakers and come off with an excellent amp. Especially if you have no info from the Old speaker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
