Eminence Commonwealth 12

Post by Bob S »

Has anyone used one & if so which amps sounded best?
I realise most of us would not use one of these speakers with a wreck clone. They are 225W - very heavy magnets.
I'm thinking that it will reproduce what the amp is putting out without speaker break up.
Thinking I'll try this puppy with my 100w ODS - if I ever get it finished...
Any advice is appreciated.

One old trick was to put a JBL e-120 into a princeton, a loud and efficient
speaker in a low watt amp to get the volume, If it fits cram it into a pro jr
or similar sized rig...

The only issue really is weight, other than that it'll be bright and loud

Thanks Andy - that's an interesting idea.
I've got a couple of donor combo projects that will probably end up 5E3's or similar.
If the cabs will take the weight - this thing is seriously heavy.
