Anyone know of a quality replacement speaker for a Micro Cube? One that can take high volume and the amount of bass this thing puts out?

Er, the Micro Cube sports a 5" speaker there, Toe!

D'oh! I thought it was a 10" for some reason. My bad. Dr. Newc will just have to get one of the 10" Celestions or Eminence speakers and cut it in half then!

I'll put it in my patent-pending Shrinkerizer - no sweat.
I really need to finish the SuperSizer - imagine a Back To The Future-sized MicroCube - the MartyCube!

wonder how this would work...
Celestion also makes 12" truvox speakers for guitars... and the frequency range isn't too far off (120hz to 8khz)

I'm actually thinking of buying one to build a cab for my zvex nano head. One thing I noticed that will work well for me is that the db is 91 on these, and the GT75s (that I used for my clip) are 97db. so, that's a huge reduction in volume, which is what I'm looking for. I may have to port the cab to get a little more low end, but hey, I like what I see so far!

I'd suggest a cab design but you'd probably think I'm nutz, but who doesn't?
Anyhoo, I used to have this genuine silk Made-In-England tophat that was nice and beat (I got it like a month before G-N-R hit it big, I swear), and I used to stick it behind my Baby Gorilla amp (open back) and got amazing bass response with it.
Nothing that would rattle windows or cop a 4x12 rumble, mind you, but just enough to make my 12-piece pedal chain sound like it had some balls.
Soooo, say a cabinet that was twice as deep as the diameter of the speaker? IIRC it was an 8" deep hat and the cab itself was 4-5" deep, and the speaker was 6".
Might be something in that.I want to depart this world the same way I arrived; screaming and covered in someone else's blood

Ok, I got the Celestion speaker today. Guess what? It's too big for the Cube. The Cube appears to have a 4.5" speaker, so to fit in the Cube, I'll hafta A) expand the hole in the frame or B) mount it on spacers and drill new mounting holes.
Could be interesting either way.I want to depart this world the same way I arrived; screaming and covered in someone else's blood

That sucks... I was thinking about doing the same thing to my Micro Cube so I was anxiously awaiting the results. Please keep up posted

One minor problem: the Cube speaker is 4 Ohm, the Celestion is 8 Ohm.I want to depart this world the same way I arrived; screaming and covered in someone else's blood
