Sign in to disble this ad
I just bought a Crate 8x10 cab, at the guitar center in Lexington, KY the other day.I'm not sure what it is and I can not find a single trace of it on the internet. I would love some help figuring out what it is. The speakers say Acoustic Labs 86-513-32 on em. I know it's really loud with a peavy 700w amp. But I really wanna find out what the speakers are and their capacities, so i don't blow em. any help would be appriciated. |

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Sep 2009 Location: Richmond, VA, USA | | i have a crate 8x10 as well. the BX810E? mine had ports cut into the back of it by a previous owner, but it still sounds pretty...ok. here's a group shot, it's the one with no grill (i took the grill off): 
another of just it with the grill on: 
i can't remember what speakers are in it, i'll find out tomorrow. if it's the same as yous, know that it isn't an 8 ohm cabinet. |

| | | | This is probably a silly question, a little off topic, but it's sort of bugging me.
Shouldn't you have found out what it was at some point maybe before buying it? |

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Nov 2003 Location: St Louis | | | it's what it looks like.... basically an 810 of a similar type to the Ampeg cabs..... but different components and possibly different details of construction.
The 86-513-32 are a 32 ohm speaker made by a Taiwanese company called "FST"..... I don't have a power rating for them, but they are likely between 50 and 100 watts rated.
