12" Speaker for Leslie

Post by gary sanders »

My next mission is to build a cab for my Leslie.No power amp in it,just run like an extension cab.Wanted to see if anyone had any idea of what a good brand of 12" would be for it.

I have always replaced Leslie drivers with EV, because they are stiff and loud. Umm.. Since you won't be spinning.. really?

Which Leslie is it?

It come out of a '64 Conn organ.It has just the wheel and two speed motor.No horn or crossover.They have it branded as a "tremolo",made by the Electro Music company.Im going to have to build an enclosure for it.Its just the whirly on a plywood enclosure just big enough for the 8" Jensen C8R it had in it,(but that went in the Champ).Going to have to saw on it to make a 12" fit.

Cant wait to get it going.I have an old POS 12 out of an old Crate amp and propped it up and powered it with the ODS just to try it.LOVED IT.Not many pickers around these parts with a real Leslie.I'll be special :roll:
