i've been trying to order Green Label bass speakers for my SUNN 215BH for months now, and nobody has them! i keep hearing "later next month, we're waiting on celestion". or the site says "coming soon!" these speakers have been being marketed for almost a year now, why is it so hard to get ahold of them? does anyone have any knowledge of what their friggin deal is? similar problems? i want to shake the earth again, and something like an explanation.

Well at least they spelled "coming soon" correctly...

You might want to see if Ted Weber makes a better version of the same speaker.

i've checked, and he does not make a 400 watt vintage voiced 15" bass speaker.

I'm still waiting for a reply to the e-mail I sent Celestion more than a year ago.

so i finally got sick of this crap about 3 weeks ago, so i decided to save myself a few bucks and a great deal of time, and ordered a couple Eminence Legend speakers from Musiciansfriend.
i wired the cab so each speaker had its own jack, and as i'm testing them out, i couldn't help but notice that the top speaker is much quieter than the bottom. so i take it back out and check my work. my solders were solid, the wire was brand new, so i was a bit stumped.
i asked a friend to come have a look at it and he discovered the speaker was sezied. that's right, SEIZED. what the hell? i had no idea that could even happen to a speaker! so now i'm stuck with using one speaker until the broken one is processed. it still sounds lovely, but it just seems like some kind of cruel joke, cuz for months i had been using a 15" from an old crate combo in the cab. i guess im doomed to only have one speaker in this poor old cab.

Sorry for saying this, but it would appear at least in the field of speakers, if it weren't for bad luck you wouldn't have any luck at all. On the positive side how is the eminence speaker that does work? I am considering building a 2x12 cab myself and a local (one and a half hours away) shop sells the eminence speakers and am curious on the sound. Granted they will not be the same but you know what I mean.

How does a speaker seize?

Do you have both polarities set the same? I had the same problem when I first installed my Celestion Vintage 30s in my Crate Cab. One side sounded louder than the other. Get a volt meter and check to make sure they are both set for positive or negative (whichever your choice is).
