10 or 12 Cab Speaker

[Guvna19]

G'day all,

Currently looking for a 1 x 10 or 1 x 12 Speaker to pair with my EL84 amp.

hoping to DIY a small cab.

been looking on gumtree/ebay etc, so if any one here has one for sale let me know the details.

thanks and regards

Hey Guv,
I'm pretty sure I still have a Pioneer sub woofer that was gifted to me around Christmas 2015 laying around. I still haven't got around to using it in a DIY speaker cab, but if it fits your bill of parts, I'd be happy to get rid of it - it's just collecting dust.
So the details are as follows:
1. Pioneer brand, Made in Mexico.
2. 10" speaker with "VCCS - Voice Coil Cooling System" on the front.
3. 500W max. 250W nom.
4. 4 Ohm
5. model number TS-W254F
6. "Free Air Use Sub Woofer" printed on the magnet bit at the back.
pm me if it's what you're after.

Andrew.

thanks for the reply and offer Andrew,

I should've posted that I need an 8 or 16 ohm speaker for the amp

This one has been on eBay for ages and is 16 ohm... http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/VOX-VX12-...wAAOSw4GVYTeO3


Plenty of other decent ones on there lurking around the $100 dollar or under price point too.

It's out of a very small amp so I'd be wary of its power rating, but yeah there's plenty out there if you look

What would be a well suited power rating for a 15/8 watt tube amp? Also should I aim for 16 or 8 ohm?
plan is for a 1 x 12 or 1 x 10 , amp has 8 - 16 outputs , been trying to compute all this new speaker jargin

[dave.king1]

Depends on what you are looking for from the speaker, if you want the speaker to stay clean regardless of what the tubes are doing you need something that will handle quite a bit more, if you want the speaker to distort a 15W speaker will eventually give you that.

Then you have to consider the cone construction and magnet type they all sound different.

Chasing tone is a bugger isn't it, somewhere I have an article on speaker types and who used what so I'll have a dig over the next few days and see if I can find it

It's an 80w version Dave so plenty of headroom and the reviews reckon it is more on the clean than dirty side of the spectrum. Coming out of a Vox it would handle dirty sounds quite well too.

[dave.king1]

Could be right Woks but I figured, possibly incorrectly that an AC4 was indeed 4 watts as per normal Vox product descriptions.

FWIW I have 700 watts worth of Eminence speakers in the 4x10 cab on my 100W amp ( 2x150 & 2x200 ) Alphas and Legends respectively.
