My R500c does my BEAD basses proud. And when I attach my Bassman Neo 115 cab I can't hear any difference between the R500c and that cab!
So, I cannot imagine the R800c having any problem at all with a CGCF.

I use 5 string bass’s and all my 4 string bass’s are all set-up as BEAD, I did my first gig last night in a med sized venue with my fairly loud rock cover band and my new Rumble 800 combo did fabulous.
Pics of my new 800c coming in the next day or 2.
Cheers, Davyo
Good to hear it was tested during a gig and it did fab!
A question for you all.
The Rumble combos seems to me to be a bit mid scooped. Also to you?
May I compensate with the onboard eq (low-mid, high-mid) and/or with my beloved Vt Bass?

Yes this is discussed a lot on the Rumble forum, but pretty close to flat settings would be the bass at 10, LM and HM at 2, treble at 10, as in clock face numbers, on the Rumble itself. I would have to find the link when I get a chance, but at work right now
@G-Dog probably can find it faster!

Thank you so much!!
I'm sorry, but I didn't read all the 2500 pages of the Rumble Club thread
No I understand, but there is a Rumble Wiki page that discusses this. I'll try to find the link for you.Thank you so much!!

Ok, here you go...(and yea, says for the 500, but also for the 40, 100, 200, and 800 as far as I know, as they all use the same electronics)

Yes, I’m sure they would work.
Any 10” Neo speakers should work as long as they have the correct power rating and a physical size matching the 500c.

Yes, the Rumble Clubs have become rather daunting to read thru.
Hence the reason for creating this thread dedicated solely to the new Rumble 800 2022 combo
A request to the mods,, Please DO NOT MERGE this thread into the Rumble Club thread.
Thanks, Davyo
In theory, yes. In practicality, you can't just swap bass speakers like you would for guitar. The tuning/porting of the cabs is super specific, and generally designed around the one specific speaker they selected for the amp/cab. There are no guarantees that the new speaker will work within those sound parameters, and you may get an absolute hot mess of a signal. It may also work flawlessly. But it seems to be, at the absolute best, a 50/50 shot that swapping the speaker will result in an "upgrade" on your sound.
My point still stands, though. You're asking about dropping speakers from one cab into another. Even if it's the same product line made by the same company, there are simply no guarantees. I don't have experience with these speakers in question, so choose to disregard this information as you see fit.
And finally I ordered it. In this moment. 699€.
Scheduled delivery 14-22 november.
F@ck my money

@sloppy_phil makes a good point here - it might work, but then again it might not, and there’s really no way for us mere mortals to tell without trying it.
But the question is largely academic, as Fender doesn’t make its custom drivers available to the public. The only way to get hold of them would be to take them from an existing 800 combo, which would be self-defeating.
For the new R800C you can take a pic of the data you find on the magnet, contact Eminence and ask them for a proper replacement speaker.
