Hi everyone! I came across this site through a Google search as I was trying to find a reputable place to recone 2 D130F's that I own that came out of a '68 Fender Dual Showman cabinet that I own. But my question is, can I recone a D130F to D140F specs? Is that possible? And what exactly are the physical, mechanical, frequency & wattage differences between them?
I am a touring bass player and used to use this cabinet many years ago with an old Ampeg V4/VT-22 head before the paper surrounds started to tear. And then I ended up putting the better of the two speakers into another cabinet, only to find that a guitar player friend of mine had a 5 string bass player friend of his blow it out! Man, was a P.O'd!! I also did something very stupid to them when the paper surrounds started to tear...I patched them with silicone caulking, but I over-did it! Anyway, that was many. many years before I knew any better. LOL!! But the incredible sounds I got from that setup, MAN!! I would love to recapture that sound once again!
I will probably keep them to spec when I have them re-coned, but I was just curious about the differences between the D130F & D140F. I also want to thank Harvey Gerst for designing these wonderful speakers, and to say what an honor it is to be in your presence on these pages! Thank you!!
