Topic: 10" Speakers

Hey all-

I am getting a Fender DRRI that I will be converting into a 2x10 to pair with the 12"s that are with my Reeves Custom 30. I will also be having a matching 2x10 cabinet built. I don't know too much about 10" speakers and I'm looking for something that will produce that traditional fender sound... I am choosing the 10"s because I like the punch and believe that they will add a nice overall effect to the rig.

Thanks,
Logan

They make the speakers Fender use in their top of the line handwired replicas!

Re: 10" Speakers

I had a Custom Vibrolux Reverb from the 90's I bought used and the thing I like best was the 2 10's.  Basically it gives you a really tight bass sound, not so much bright as it just feels like the bass pops or smacks you instead of rumbles you.  I can't explain it.  I think you've got a cool idea and I think you'll love it.

Re: 10" Speakers

Vibrolux's are cool amps, but at 22 watts, the DRRI is better suited for my needs. I guess this is along the same idea as what Joe does. This is going to be my rock and roll/blues rig. When its finished I'd like to start a hard rock rig that will consist of a Reeves Super '78 (50 watt) which is essentially a EVH amp clone with a bass contour to so you can go from vintage plexi to EVH modded or anywhere in between and a Fargen 50W Retro Classic which has a decade switch to go from Bassman to JTM45 to Superbass. Each one will get its own oversized 2x12 cabinet with G12H30 style speakers.
