They are mucho expensive from Loud, the only source, but sound wonderful.
The regular 810E 10" 32 ohm speaker is around $70 at Full Compass.

nah no big secret eminence sells them the legends have been for sale for awhile. they eventually release special design speakers a few years later with different names. you can buy the mud era speakers now as the new released
CA10_32
or the somewhat brighter
b810
the newer basslite 32 sits in the middle
they did same thing with 12" speakers. and eventually released the special design 12" based upon the beta for Swr
as the beta 12a2

The SC 10-32 is a neo, and Ampeg's never used neos in any of their 810e's, so it couldn't be the same.
I didn't know they were the same drivers, I mean, I've been told the B810 is similar to the 810e's drivers, but that's about it.
Nope. They're IMHO inferior. Not bad, just not great like the actual Ampeg speakers, especially the Heritage 86-032-01's. They are, however, closer to what Ampeg uses now than the CA's.
Building a heritage cab will cost more than buying one.

Don't mean to hijack your thread, but I have a Fender PRO410SL cab with 1 or two damaged 10's. Has emminence/fender die cast drivers. Fender want's $150 dollars each which is crazy. Drivers are 125 watt 8 ohm. Any Idea what would be less expensive and work reasonably well? If only one is bad, could I just disconnect the bad driver and use it as a 310?
Thanks for the link. I actually stumbled upon that thread while searching. He did an excellent job!
I am looking to make something a bit more custom (versus replicating a heritage cab). ...Furniture grade ...maybe... still on the drawing board. I have a whole cabinet shop (kitchen/bathroom type cabinets) at my disposal. So hopefully I can whip out something fairly cool (to me) if I ever dig into this project.

Often furniture grade translates into heavier. Harder to move to next to impossible is the only downside.

just recone the bad driver
or take the plunge
it's not gonna sound right with one eminence speaker that matches closely
just like the heritage the b810 is close enough but the factory speakers or special designs are gonna be slightly different. sound wise unnoticeable. but in a mismatched situation It's more phase response issues than sound

It's been established, over and over, by people that work(ed) for Ampeg and/or Eminence that OEM drivers are exclusive to the manufacturer and are not identical to stock drivers available from Eminence.
