Which 12" Neo Speaker Replacement for SWR Workingman's 12

Sign in to disble this ad
Title pretty much says it all. Looking to lighten the load, but need a neo speaker that won't be so boomy in that smaller cab section.

Eminence S2012 maybe?

Model it. The S2012 has too high a Qts and too low an EBP to work in smaller vented cabs without boom.

Any other neo model that will work without boom in a smaller vented cabinet?

I put an Avatar-sourced Deltalite in my WM12, and extended the rear port tube inward toward the speaker's magnet with a 5- or 6-inch flare to drop the cabinet tuning way down for boom elimination. Weight savings is negligible compared to the fairly light original driver; all the weight in that combo is in the head and particle board. You could probably save more weight making a duplicate box for it out of light braced plywood. And you could probably get less boom from the original driver with a longer port (if you have a rear-ported version like mine).
