Sign in to disble this ad
can anyone recommend a good 8" replacement speaker for an old Gorilla GB-30?
it's been harder that crap to try to find a full range 8 inch bass amp speaker!
i know "full-range" 8 inch is pretty ridiculous-sounding....
any help?

Find a model number on it and type that into google.

The 87.5db sensitivity sure don't help either

| All the more reason to use a driver with high enough sensitivity to be heard.
The Eminence Alpha 8 and Beta 8 are also contenders, especially for a very low power rig. |

Incidentally, I put two of the ST210-8's in a vertical, ported cab a couple of years ago and it was fantastic. The box was about the size of the Ampeg 210AV. Loud and low, but very heavy. 3/4 birch and big magnets, it adds up fast.
