SRM450 replacement woofer

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Can anybody recommend a replacement woofer model for a SRM450 V1 ??

The problem is that its outside diameter is 12.5" (320mm) so most of the 12" drivers Ive looked at will not fit.

The only one Ive come up with so far is an RCF L12/854K which is £105 +p&p from thomann. Which I suspect is the original cone anyway (theres no markings on it but its identical to the drawings and pictures of the RCF cone)

Im repairing it for a local band and always they want the cheapest fix possible !

Thanks folks

Kev

	Getting the proper one reconed is your best bet. A 450 isn't a sh it cab and does have re-sale value as such you should try and keep it original. On a more pratical side for band use have one cab sound/repspond completely differently to the other will be a right pain to Eq. RCF/Martin have a yard over near High Wycombe, shout them up when everyone is back at work, I can't imagine a recone or service exchange driver can be that much

	thanks that's really helpful didn't know they existed ...it's a rough looking DJ monitor but even so I would prefer to recone .. As it goes I did try jbl 12 just to confirm it was the driver making all that unpleasant noise and it was 10mm smaller on the holes so bit wary of replacing Oops should look a bit more closely at which thread I'm replying to !
