What speakers did you end up going with DD? I LOVE my 2X12! I went with 2 - SB-25's. I talked to Josh at Splawn and he said it would be fine with the Pro Mod. I probably would have to crank the amp to do any real damage and that wont be happening. If I had a gig where I needed a lot of stage volume I would just use the 4x12. I can't wait to get it! If you see my other thread I posted pics of what it will look like. Dude, they're killer speakers. It may sound a tad bright before they get broken in little. Especially going from the V30's but they smooth out nice. Run it together with the Bogner cab and it'll be destructive. I run mine with a Mesa 4X12 sometimes....killer! |

Yeah, I have that show probably a few days after I get the cab so I will have to put them through their paces beforehand. I know there is some trick with playing chords into the clean channel with the bass and treble up and mids off or omething like that. How long would you say to break them in? I have already been contemplating running the Bogner and Splawn cabs together! RAWK! |

This was taken directly off the Celestion site :
Important Note! Before breaking it in it's advisable to "warm up" the speaker gently for a few minutes with low-level playing or background hum.
Break in a speaker with a fat, clean tone: turn up the power amp volume to full, and control the level with the preamp gain. Use a level that will be quite loud, but not painful in a normal size room.
Have the bass and mid up full, and the treble at least half. On your guitar, use the middle pick up position (if your guitar has more than one pick up) and play for 10-15 minutes using lots of open chords, and chunky percussive playing. This will get the cone moving, and should excite all the cone modes and get everything to settle in nicely. The speaker will continue to mature over the years, but this will get it 95% of the way to tonal perfection in the shortest time.

I was just about to look this up because my cab is supposed to arrive today! |

np guys.
But I was wondering if these new cabs already got a "break in" test before they left Splawn HQ ? Any of you guys know if Scott breaks them in before they get shipped ?
Edit:
If not an actual "break in" period, did they get some kind of play time or test time.

My Bogner is 16 ohms and the Splawn will be ohms (josh said it had to be wired that way). Is it possible to run both with an impedence mismatch like that? For some reason I remember someone saying I couldn't do it. That would kind of suck. |

Yup, they don't have that V30 mid hump so they are much clearer in the top end. It was night and day when I swapped the V30 out of my isocab. And my new 2X12 is a perfect compliment to my ultra low-end Mesa 4X12. Did you get your cab yet Dennis? |

I've never owned a greeny loaded cab but I hear the comparisons here from time to time. Check out Dennis' cab and see what you think. Maybe I'm crazy....! |
