About the Eminence Double T-12 designed by Travis Toy.
Has anyone replaced the speaker in the Nashville 112
with this speaker? If so, then what about a report.
Would certainly be lighter but what about the tone.
thanks,
Bill |

| I have one in my Nashville 112, I like the sound and there was no loss in volume! |

| Large improvement over the Peavey OEM Blue Marvel speaker tone-wise...and a bit lighter |

Tone is in the ear of the beholder, but...nah, nevermind. My buddy put one in has 112 and it's just better. A very good match for that amp.
More accurately, I bet a blind listening poll would have 90% thinking it was a sweeter, better-balanced sounding speaker than the stock one. |

| My question is I've only seen this speaker listed as 8ohms...doesn't a nv112 take a 4ohm speaker? Mike Brown told me I would be cutting power putting an 8ohm in place of a 4ohm in my nv112. Does it come in a 4ohm model and I've overlooked it?MD |

Hey Michael. It is an 8 ohm speaker. As you can see from others comments, they are having no issues whatsoever. The fear of putting an 8 ohm speaker in a 4 ohm amp is VERY overstated by lots of folks. On paper it might show a loss of power, but in reality, my speaker is a considerably more efficient design than a traditional magnet speaker, so you’ll suffer no loss in power/volume. I’ve not gotten a single negative message from anyone who has my speaker in a NV112. It’s been overwhelmingly positive.

Sensitivities:
Stock 12" Blue Marvel speaker (4Ω) = 96.5 db
Eminence Double-T 12 (8Ω)= 100.2 db

Travis, most solid state amplifiers specify a minimum load. (many say 4, or even 2 ohms). (You won't blow one up running it with no load!) The Nashville 112 has no aux speaker out, so I would assume they want no less than 4 ohm minimum.
(Leo's tube amps always had an aux speaker jack, as well as safeguards against no load, (high impedance), so he wasn't worried about dropping a DR to 4 ohms, or a Twin to 2!)
The comments about speaker efficiency, (no loss of power), should help folks decide whether to pull the trigger on using a TT speaker in their Nashville 112! |

| Fully realizing this is an extreme long shot, has anyone tried the TT-12 in a Polytone Mini-Brute II? |

I had to look that one up. I have not received any messages from anyone using a TT with that particular amp. That being said, I’ve gotten messages from people all over the globe that have put them in a lot of amps that I’d never heard of. All I can say is this...my speaker is voiced VERY friendly for a modern steel tone. Any amp, especially an amp with a traditionally guitar voiced speaker, is gonna get the benefit of becoming considerably more steel friendly from an EQ perspective. Good luck!

Thanks to all of you who responded to make this an
interesting and informative post. Great to have
Travis Toy (the man) participate with us. I have
purchased the speaker designed by Travis and it will
ride in my Nashville 112. |

What would be the nearest 10†equivalent?
