Inexpensive 12" speaker choice for Vox AC4TV?

Postby Green Manalishi » 24 Aug 2009, 22:08

I want a 12" speaker that will sound good with the Vox AC4, but I don't want to spend a whole lot. The Alnico Blue is way too much, and the Emi version is too.

Jensen has some good priced 12", and some as little as $47 for C12R (I think) , anyone have experience with those?

Any suggestions for an affordable 12" speaker?

http://www.avatarspeakers.com They have celestions that are a little cheaper than normal, but not really cheap at $100 a speaker.

You could try Weber. Their prices are pretty reasonable.
I love Jensens but I don't think they'd be a good match with that amp. JMO.

Anyone try the Jensen MOD? Supposedly they are Greenback-ish, and very reasonably priced.

I checked out Weber too, but their signature series is only 8 ohm, and I need 16 ohm.

These are supposed to sound pretty good. Haven't had personal experience but a lot of people prefer them to the Celestions they are modled after. And they're way cheap.

I'd probably go with Weber Ceramic Blue Dog, or Eminence Private Jack. Blue dog would be very voxish. They are 105$ and 90$.

So I got the Jensen Mos 35W 12", and I was pleasantly suprised. It sounded good, especially for the price. A lot more Greenbackish than I expected. A lot better mids and highs than my CL80, but the bottom was not as strong.
