hello everyone. I'm new to talk bass and recently got a used rumble 800 stage for a crazy deal but it sadly has a rip in the speaker. I was wondering if anyone knows what speaker I could replace it with? I took some photos of the speakers and can see it is a 16ohm 10inch eminence speaker. I'm assuming each speaker is 200 watts since the amp is 400 watts without an extension cab? I was looking at other speakers and found the eminence basslite sc10 speakers to be similar specs, 16ohm 10 inch but rated at 150 each, would those speakers be compatible? Either way any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Hi, adrian. Welcome to TalkBass. :thumbsup:

My first inclination is to direct you to your nearest Fender Authorized Service Center. Their diagnosis of why the speaker ripped may be worth the price alone! They are also the only source for the exact same OEM speaker. Otherwise, you may need 2 new speakers for proper balance, plus some port retuning to keep from throwing off all the different modeling voices. It may cost a bit, eating into your "crazy deal", but I truly believe it's really the best route to get a good, properly working Stage 800. ;)

I cordially invite you to ask this question in The Fender Rumble Club and it's sub-thread Fender Rumble LT25, Studio 40 & Stage 800 for any other ideas. Post a photo in the Rumble Club and you can join up for free. There's also several speaker replacement threads listed in the Speaker Replacements section of the Rumble Club Wiki page, linked in my signature, that you can browse to see the various technicalities that go into it. :cool:

The Stage is a great amp! I have its little brother, the Studio 40 with the exact same software, and love the various voices it has. I'd hate to see an aftermarket speaker mess up those sweet amps, cabs and effects tones designed for the OEM speakers. I also have a nearly 6 year old Rumble 500 combo that's never had a moment of any problems. Good, reliable amps. Which begs the question, how did that speaker get ripped? o_O

Good luck. Don't be a stranger. :)

definitely the original fender one!

it probably won't even be that expensive compared to aftermarket, but it will definitely have the right T/S parameters and all that to work right while a replacement may not even if it's a "better" speaker.

I will give fender a call tomorrow to see if I can order one directly from them since it doesn't look like I can buy one online

they'll probably send you to an authorized dealer or repair center; we could easily order one for you for example.
