My Peavey Renown Solo 160 Watt Solid State Amp

[DrNomis_44]

That's a cool old beast of an amp, I like your ideas for personalisation, a couple of celestion greenbacks might go well with it

Whichever speakers I end up using, I need to make sure that the speaker impedance is no less than 4 Ohms, and that the power handling is at least 160 Watts or greater, will a pair of Celestion Greenbacks handle that much power?, also I'm wondering how much that'll cost me all up.

yeah a 4 speaker cab up stairway would be a right pain. The Celestion speakers are very good too

Celestions are supposed to be the bee's knees, I've heard nothing but good things about Celestions.


Last night I also managed to find four rubber feet to attach to the underside of the amp case.

same here Doc I have only heard good things about Celestions.
Might be a cheaper option to ask your local music store to keep an eye out for any old speaker cabs with Celestions maybe a trade in

Okay, so finish EXA, FrankenWashie, SV-1 and Scratchbuild RG Baritone, then build GAS mandated rack, then buy decent head then build XF cab. next 2 years activities SORTED!

haha good one Franken, plus what about the 10-20 other side projects and PBG sales - might need more than 2 years mate !

I hope there's not a sale soon, I already have one kit still in box untouched and several lengths of nice timber lying around in transformative states approaching guitardom, I don't think I need to add to that. Yet.

Back on topic, I am familiar with Celestion, will be very interested to see how your project pans out Doc!

Hey Franken (Doc seems to attract thread jackers hahaha) I think there maybe an August PBG sale for it's 4th birthday but will wait for Ads to announce it, I have no idea if he is but it's a hunch !

Haha...there's not a whole lot I can do about the thread-jacking so I might as well just accept it, it's all good anyway.

I had a thought with your Baffle/cover, you could always get a neutral coloured fabric and get artistic with it for a really personalised effect.

I suppose I could do that as an alternative option.
