Sundown 12" Vintage Guitar Speaker


Recommended Posts

So an interesting project came my way... a client asked me to try out some of the NeoPro speakers for Guitar purposes... which I have had a few folks try them for bass guitar and like them but not regular electric guitar.

Client comes back to me stating the NeoPro drivers are entirely too clean and then lends me an old vintage speaker that he considers the "driver to have" for this application -- which is tube amplifier electric guitar.

So I analyzed it a bit... and came up with this :

* Ribbed, thin paper cone with very small dust cap

* Actual paper surround - one piece with the cone

* Low excursion spider with completely un-vented frame

* Un-vented motor

Many of the design elements are to purposely introduce distortion -- as this is what Guitar guys seem to like.

In any event... I am not a guitar player so I won't have more thoughts until the client tries it out and lets me know. You never know... we may be doing Guitar speakers if all goes well
