Hi TB,
Not entirely sure if this is the right area for this but hopefully you guys can help, I'm mostly a lurker around here and enjoy all the great information this forum provides so hopefully you guys can point me in the right direction here.
Recently I bought a second hand David Eden 212 cab (it was made in 08 so I believe it was the XLT model)
The other day at practice I noticed some there was light flashing behind the top speaker (I thought it was sparking at the time.) and thought the speaker was about to blowout any day, I also noticed an annoying buzzing sound that seems to be coming out of my bottom speaker (which increases with volume as I turn up the master) that I can't locate and or fix (I opened up it up and noticed the plate where the wire connectors are was loose and superglued it to firm so no rattle there.)
Anyway, in my hastiness to be rid of the problem I ordered 2 Kappalite 3012s from Usspeakers and the gentlemen over the phone seemed very knowledgeable and assured me the Kappalites would perform as good if not better than the current speakers in the Eden Cab.
Over the weekend however my band did a mini tour of our state for 5 days and the cab performed excellently, no lighting, no buzzing to be heard, and great sound all around (got complimented multiple times on the sound of the bass).
Now I have the Kappalites coming and am wondering if I continue with the replacement, sell them, or try and find a empty cab (or build one). I don't really want to mess with cab unless there will be a substantial increase in tone and sound.
I have no experience in replacing speakers and apparently I would have to remove the part of the wires that looks like this : Invalid Link Removed (U shaped connection), if I do this and wind up not being happy with the sound of the Kappalites might be a bit difficult to put the stock speakers back in.
What do you guys think?
Additional info:
Head: Yorkville xs400h - 400w @ 4 ohms
Bass: Peavy Millennium BXP Active
Cab: David Eden 212 (made in 2008, believed to be XLT model and an 8 ohm cab)
I was planning on doing a Parallel wiring with the new speakers to make the cab 4 ohms.
The tone I'm going for is a clean bass tone with some subbass for that chesty feel and enough punch in the mids to cut through the rest of the band and reach the crowd, this is the best way I can describe it.
Thanks!
