Speaker Replacement for Ashdown ABM 1x15'' cab

How about an original replacement since you really liked the cabinet?

 

No reason to frown on you for that, my Croatian friend

As @agedhorse alluded to, it will sound different with a different than original driver. If you guess on a driver it might sound bad or have poor power handling, even with a higher wattage speaker.

 

You’re in Europe so contacting Ashdown should be pretty easy.

I once played in a Croatian band. I enjoyed playing the material and was quite comfortable with the music despite my English heritage.

Here in Toronto we have “Caravan" that lasts for a week. Each of the various Ethnic groups host visitors and tourists in a pavilion. There is appropriate music and food from the various areas in the world. The band was playing in the Croatian pavilion. After almost a week, even the guys in the band were getting a little tired of the music so it was suggested we play another song from our repertoire. We’re the only band to play Tush during a Caravan!

 

Just because the manufacturer doesn't make the cabinet anymore doesn't mean that they do not stock the proper repair parts.

How are we going to know how the Celestion speaker is going to work, and if it's going to be to YOUR liking? If you liked the original speaker, replace it with the original part.

 

Good luck.

 

You might find an answer if you post inside dimensions + number and dimensions of ports, if any. I'm not very good at that myself.

 

I have a Ashdown MINI 1-15 300 watt cab . during a gig blew a speaker. Took it to get repaired and was told it was replaced with the same speaker but not the blue color. I said ok and it sounded exactly the same to me.
