Replacement Hartke speaker recommendations?

[will33]

This is an older thread but thanks to the bumping. Mr. Hartke shows how things are supposed to run.

Played through a ton of 3500 Transient Attack heads, some of which seemed as if they'd lasted past 12 on the doomsday clock, others ran 'til 4am.

Been playing Hartke bass amps and cabs since 2001, i have bought 2 hartke 4x10 cabs a 1x15 cab and a ha3500 and a ha2500 head....have never had a problem till now, my new rig was being played on volume level 1 while recording and 3 speakers started to make noise and they r blown now aluminum makes a horrible sound when blown, ive only been playing this rig in practice for 6 months......My question is can i get replacement speakers anywhere, Hartke support said almost 200 each.....at that price i might as well switch to ampeg so i can replace them with eminence.....what to do!

That seems high. When I replaced the speaker in my kickback 10 it was around $60 IIRC. Did you contact Hartke or go through a local dealer?

Wow, very cool. I love my LH500 head. Might need to try some Hartke Hydrive 15's at some point in the future to go with it. This level of CS seems to be a rarified realm occupied only by Larry and the Genz guys right now.

Cheers,

If you don't need as big of a rig, you could consider the Hydrive 12's. They have a lot of depth and punch in a smaller box.

You might have more luck if you'd started a fresh thread rather than a four year old one. I expect Larry scans the titles for his name so if he sees this one he might just think he's already seen to the problem.
