Great for a custom cab
Quality:
So far, no complaints. It has handled everything I thrown at it. Plenty of gasket on the front.. the back has less, but no matter.
Features:
I put this into a custom built cabinet that I built. The specs for the price present an amazing value. Not too heavy weight wise, low resonant frequency, good frequency response and SPL sensitivity.
Ease of Use:
Very easy to use. I didn't have a manual of course, but Eminence has cabinet designs on their website that helped tremendously. After balancing several speakers, from basslite to Kappa, I settled on this speaker. Eminence only gives a volume of space required.. the rest is up to you.
Sound:
I thought a bass speaker was only good for bass.. WRONG.. it sounds great for guitar.. doesn't require a horn for slap. My cabinet design no doubt contributes to this, but none the less.. very shocking. Everyone I've demo'd it for has been absolutely floored.
Value:
Probably the best candidate for a flat response cabinet that I could find.. not expensive, and not overly demanding space wise.

Eminence is the best hands down
Quality:
Top Quality, I won't ever buy another brand ever.
Features:
250W What more could you want & I'm not electrical savvy in any way. but installing them is very simple.
Ease of Use:
The Manual was of little help but the way they are laid out when you replace a speaker it's self explanatory what goes where.
It took me 1/2 Hour to swap out all 4 of my speakers.
Sound:
I custom modified my Marshall 1960A Lead cab with these speakers.
The vintage 30's were ok but if your playing down tuned guitars or like me 7-string or 8-string Guitars through a POD XT pro Rack Mount with a 500 watt Power amp, your golden, amazing bottom end, very tight sounding & they never break up or crackle on you.
I set my cab up for stereo, left channel, right channel & these speakers are 250w a piece, that means my Left channel handles 500w and my Right channel handles 500w, a thousand watt cab with a 500w Crown Power amp.
It's a Beast that sounds better than any custom guitar cabs on the market today.
I dare anyone to say different, if you are going for extreme modern heavy guitar tone, these are the speakers you need & want.
Value:
I bought 4 of these and, it's the best investment I ever made in my Music Career.
Do you own this product?:
Yes, And I plan on getting 4 more to swap out in my mesa boogie Cab
