Acoustic 408 4x15 Cab

[rad69cam]

Just scored one of these and was wondering if anyone has ever paired this with any amp besides an ACC amp. Reason is, I know it's a stock 2 ohm cab and I have a Mesa M6 that can be switched over to 2 ohms. Also some feedback on sound quality. I also picked up the 220 head for free, but it's gonna need some TLC.

Anyone?

They sound good in my book. I've played most, if not all, of the big Acoustic Control Corp rigs and liked most of them. Just be careful you aren't pushing it too hard. I see a lot of these cabs with replacement speakers.

Thanks Chris, what I failed to mention is that I actually don't have it here, I pick it up Thurs. I do own a 301 and other assorted ACC gear and love it. This is all original even down to the inspection sticker on back. The 2 ohm sticker is missing though.

I love my old 408 works everyday, original speakers, never re-coned, sounds awesome even with lower wattage amps, if its sounding awesome you wont blow it up and it will probably still work fine right up until like me, they interre you in it.
Or have to use it as a boat to rescue your entire family from a deluge.
But If you overdrive it so it sounds farty and stressed you will be talking to the blokes that still make them about what replacement drivers and mods to use:
Monolith cabs?

I took the grills off in front of the owner, who had never done it incidentally, and even he was surprised at how fantastic the original drivers looked. I plan to keep it lookin like that.

Mine had original drivers. Used it with a 320 and a 4 string, sounded great. 5 string, drivers cried at higher volumes. Did not have a low wattage 2 Ohm amp at the time besides the 320, didn't want to feed it 1000 watts so I stuck to the 320.

Rewire it 8 ohm. Pair it with another one rewired to 8 ohm.

After further inspection, I decided to have the vintage Emi's reconed. They are the square mag Emi's circa 1980. (67-8008). 1980 manufacture, 8th week.
