Well, not your amp. But I dropped my friends amp the other day. I thought it was fine but... one of the speakers' magnets broke clean off. Now what? Do I buy a celestion? It is a fender 10" in a 4x10. Two of the speakers already don't match, and the one that broke was one of the two original (i guess) Fender speakers.

i can't remember who make them, but there's a company that makes MOD 10" speakers for guitar amps. I wanna say it's Jensen. My practice space has a silverface super reverb that's filled with these MOD speakers and it sounds awesome.

I ordered a mod Gearjunkie, thanks. Too bad they flip-flopped my billing addy and shipping addy. It'll probably get stolen off my doorstep while I'm at work.

I put that Mod in there, it sounds great so far. I think it sounds better. The old one was filthy, and it had little holes in it too. That amp is so freaking hodgepodged now.

The amp owner finally played it at practice and in turn the show. He noticed the sound difference right away. I'm guessing that it changes the way all four of the speakers act with one another because they are all wired together in a chain. He said it sounded more full and less trebley. I could tell too for sure. I was actually really scared that it might blow up or something since I've never really replaced a speaker in a situation like that.
The drummer didn't notice a sound difference.
