Check the frequency response chart. Pag hifi speaker the graph is flat, pag guitar speaker may mid frequency bump.

Eto example ng sa Vintage 30



unfortunately walang ganyang sa site ng CROWN

its a made in the locals eh. yeah! jag jag jag!

10" cost around 350 back then. Same specs as celestion g10l 35 but 8 ohms instead of 16.

12" cost around 480 back then. No idea on the specs though.

Way back 2006. You can check this thread http://talk.philmusic.com/index.php?topic=16183.0 for more info. Try calling deeco in Raon first. Dai-ichi also has instrument speakers available. Cost around 700 that time.

I remember, me and my dad salvaged an old PIGGY BASS Amp, and it was really beat up but still works..

he managed to have the speaker reconed sa raon from some guy who set up shop along the street...and my dad redid the upholstery changing the tolex to some grey speaker carpet..bought some corner plastic guards...its still working..though Im not sure if they brought it when we moved house recently..haha

its not that high fi as newer bass amps with all the nice frequencies pronounced, walang kalansing (na trip kong sound for a bass amp) but it does the trick for our jams of yesteryear..

More of Tito Gandy, haha

I also remember when we were starting out..I got so obsessed with those cheapo ROTO amps and Drumset..a kit was like 6,000 php..and we wanted to set up a jamming studio with my bro..and I was really bummed kasi di mabili..as 6k was too big for our budget.. but you know how these stuff are..really "obscure barrio combo/ or overpass blind man playing guitar " quality and specs...

hahaha...

luckily we ended with a Fernando kit...from JB Cubao...which was 10x better...

I bought a drumset for 8k 10 years ago...so tito

but what I like about raon are the salonga music stores. everything they sell at JB is 50% cheaper. zoom multifx to laney solidstates

yeah! the classic "pilik mata ng kambing"...all there... was quite familiar with quiapo since my grandma was a black nazarene devotee and my uncle worked in a bank near the bridge where they sold those capiz and handicrafts..
well anyway... one time I drove our shiny new Vespa over there under the heat of the sun just wearing a sando, shorts and slippers...and was freaking afraid where to park the damn thing safely!

the speaker guys over there can rewind and recone fast and cheap... haha been there 4-5 years ago to checkout the photography area, hidalgo ba yun?! haha

ahhh...good old Manila... and of course..those freaking seedy,hanky panky Art Deco Movie Houses! hahaha  bought a lot of stuff there, bmx,bike stuff, military surplus gear, and music stuff..

hmmm come to think of it..lahat ng trip ko sa hobbies ko..nandun na pala lahat...

except the seedy movie houses though! hahahahahahaha

buhay pa yung mga ROTO? the bass amp stayed with me for a while. i think dai-ichi young speakers nun na 15s.
and since the heads are [not too] bad, the speakers sounded dead a bit.

Consider the Dai-1chi IS series instrumental speakers. Its not a big secret that Dai-1chi is an OEM for Celestion, and this series is most likely similar.

Take a look at the frequency response of the Dai-ichi IS12000 12".  Emphasis on 80Hz-5000Hz, with roll-off on the low bass and treble frequencies.  Just right for guitars.


Though I like the frequency response graph of the IS10000 10" better.  Smoother on the upper midrange, and no spikes on the treble.


I'm pretty sure they're not as cheap as the brands mentioned earlier, but at least its not hit-and-miss.  With the response graphs above, there is good indication that its fit for guitars.
