Going to replace the 18" speaker in my Eden 118XL.

Looking for suggestions on speaker brand......

Thanks in advance for your help.

Why? Is it damaged?

There is no "better" speaker for your cab than the one it was designed to be with.

Brand is inconsequential. These are what need to be considered, matching them to the requirements of your cab:

Emi. Sigma Pro behaves pretty well for bass guitar without needing a giant box but even so, a typical size bass cab may be shrinking it a bit too much.

I'd think about making an adaptor plate and load in a 3015LF.

+1, the only 18 inch driver that looks useful for bass guitar, it would get even better if crossed at 800 hz to mid driver.

I wonder if the darn thing is a Sigma Pro 18A2.

that is a pretty cool cab 23"x27.5"x18.5"

around 5.8ish cubers or 160ish litres should do fine.

funny thing is I bet it is there worst seller, I'll take 2 of em
I kinda like this cab

but yah you can recone the factory too, or possible get a new one for 20 or 30 bucks more. The sigma is not to bad price wise.
but if your strapped for cash recone might save you a little.

a picture of the factory speaker would be coool to see....

recone is best option, but if you need it now the Eminence Delta pro-18 will suffice.

delta is lighter

[Invalid or Expired Link Removed] has more sensitivity and power handling
but is much heavier speaker.
