Fender Rumble Club

I'm sure you'll have to contact fender directly or through a local fender retailer. They won't sell them as "regular parts".

And he did this just by turning up the volume and eq on the bass itself?

Was the amp cranked? Or just because of the eq boost do you think?
And it must have sounded pretty awful with the bass and treble cranked. Apparently he doesn't understand active electronics?

Does fender sell them? I don't see them on the site.
No, not directly. You have to go through an authorized dealer or service center. You could have the blown driver reconed, but that will require quite a wait. Since it is your guitarist that is paying for the repair, you could call Eminence and see what they recommend as replacements or upgrades and order a new pair directly from them.

Just remember @MN_Bass, you need 16 ohm drivers in order to keep the same 8 ohm total load for the combo. If you use 8 ohm drivers you will lower the load to 4 ohms and can no longer use an extension speaker cabinet. Choose wisely.
This Rumble Talk is two years old, and I no longer have the ability to edit and update the content, but for you it is still relevant.

Ebay showing some Rumble 210 cabs as 350 watts and 700 watts on a few different ads. Are these two different cabs or same cab but they just showing min and max numbers for advertising purposes? They are still priced closely with the 700 watt 210's abit higher priced. And are these both V3 cabs? Sorry but the descript is lacking of these details. thanks for any helpful replies.

The 210 V3 can handle 350W RMS and 700W peak.
The 700W posters probably think bigger is better so I can make more money...
 
Hey thanks a lot eric_B, I sorta figured that was the case. Cool, will keep an eye out, seems some sellers are dropping their prices pretty good on some Fender Rumble cabs. Just trying to decide if I want the 210 or 115 Rumble cab now. Will be pushing it with my Ampeg ri-V4B, hope these cabs can take it and only want one cab for small gigs but I do only use 5 sting basses. I was talked out of the Ampeg 210AV based on how I'd be using it.

I own the Rumble V3 210 cab and it handles the low B just like the Rumble 500C. No problems at all
