WorkingPro 12 replacement driver

Tripp528 · #1 12-31-2012, 08:36 PM

I have an SWR WorkingPro 12, and the speaker has blown. The Eminence driver installed is "custom" and the only 12" they make is 8 OHM. The one installed is a 4 OHM. It is a 200 watt amp, so does anyone have suggestions for what replacement driver i should get?

I was just on Orange County Speaker Repair website. Prices to repair a blown speaker like that are around $65. Maybe give them a shot at it?

They would actually repair the speaker or replace it?

In the manual it clearly states its a 4 ohm, as well as on swr's website

The Working pro 12 does not have an external speaker jack. The combo is designed to produce 200 watts to the speaker at an internal load of 4ohms.

Call carvin and ask what they have for celestions. They don't list them on the website but they do keep them in stock and their prices are usually good.

I think the Faital pro 12 comes in 4 ohms but haven't checked.

Correct. Faital offers several model 12"ers @ 4ohms.

FWIW, I just put a Faital 15 in my MESA Powerhouse Cab (the old speaker was also blown). Very pleased with the results.
