Hey @agedhorse - I am not understanding your frustratration with me and sensing that, I have gone out of my way to make sure you know that I am indeed receiving your opinions and acting on them by providing the resultant detail of such follow-up. I am sorry if you are taking that as push back. I...

Yes - on your advice I started there but having a hard time finding folks and so looks like have to send it in somewhere and between the initial quotes I am getting + shipping both ways + believe it or not there are handling fees and such (business must be good)... it's running up a tab...

Understood - I did go looking for a Force 15 and I can only find couple of 30 to 40yr old used ones and then they cost more than new speakers and no guarantees so that's the issue there. But I understand those are the best match here. Thanks.

Well especially if I can use 8ohm now then yes opens up options. Looks like the Delta, as agedhorse recommends, is pretty good but it does seem to have a very low XMAX but high sensitivity where as the Beta has a lower sensitivity (and SPL) but higher XMAX. There is a Delta Pro 15A that solves...

Yeah got response back that he's booked out due not only to backlog but Covid-related supply chain issues and to check back later when he opens up the queue again. Thanks though, good to have this one in the rolodex.

Thanks @Old Fart - will check into this one too.

@agedhorse Just to clarify - it's not that I am unwilling - aside from distance and shipping - I have spent due diligence inquiring locally at least 3 to 4 places and waiting for response from additional others using the referrals given to me. Answers I get back are such as, and I quote, "we...

Also @agedhorse first thank you for all thebadvice so far. Here's Ampegs answer to me thus the confusion too: Hello WorksInTheory. Your Ampeg Support Ticket was updated with the following message: Thanks for reaching out. Here are the speaker specs to aid in locating a replacement: 15" 150 watt...

Thanks @beans-on-toast, interesting so LF not a standalone. What about the Legend CA154? Do you feel that will do well as a standalone in a sealed cab (I believe this is sealed... didn't see a vent or port)

Sorry for my ignorance but I am now confused by all the electronics part of this. Everyone I talked to seem to caution me like in ALL CAPS the #1 thing I need to do is match the impedance and forget about worrying about Watts. So I embarked on looking for 4Ohm 15" which there are only 2 readily...

It looks pristine at surface level - I think I pushed too hard? didn't know what I was doing? Here's a video of me doing it on YT. (NOTE: Sorry about the cursing, you can imagine I was shocked).

@agedhorse - any recommendations on replacement? reading old forums suggest Eminence or Force. I don't think I can find another EV or not guaranteed that use EV won't crap out also (seems like common problem?) I did find a Force (think you mentioned) and a Eminence Beta that is mentioned a lot...

Well unfortunate Update. I didn't want to ship it away or drive far. I tried a few more places but none of them do recone. I heard back from a referred place but they are "temporarily paused for Covid" so not doing service. That being said they were nice to email back and forth and he had me go...

Latest update - Heard back from Ampeg to see if there were more shops nearby that were authorized - only one. I did contact them and they were the only of several to get back to me. However, they said they don't do reconing but could fit me with a new Eminence and get me up and running. Was...

Thanks @agedhorse - Unfortunately that went way over my head. What does 'TS' stand for? If I give it a try - looks like I need a 15" 4ohm and the Force kit might be a match (may the Force be with me). However sounds like if it were you, you would get it reconed instead as it was a good sounding...
