Carr Slant 6V Speaker change.

[BleedndaBlues]

Has anyone changed out the stock Kingpin 60 for another speaker and if so, what were your results?

[riffmeister]

I swapped out the Kinpins in my Slant 6V 2x12 for Greenbacks. I was also using a lower voltage rectifier.......5U4 as I recall. This rectifier combined with the less efficient GB speakers made it so I could get the amp to crunch on the clean channel and the gain channel sounded fantastic......more Marshally.

[BleedndaBlues]

Thanks. Greenbacks are my first choice as well. Didn't think about the rectifier though.

Sometimes I'll run my Slant 6 into a bogner 2x12 with a greenback and a g12H. I'll also run it into a Dr.Z 4x10. Those two, as well as the stock kingpin in the 1x12 Slant 6 all sound great, just different. The 2x12 is a clearer, more bass heavy sound.

I've used my Boogie 2x12 with v30s and it sounds great. I just don't want to lug both to some gigs (getting too old/lazy).

I had a head box made for my Slant 6V so I could combo it or head/cab it.

Who did the head box for you? I spoke with Mike Carr about buying a box from him, but he really didn't want to do it. He wanted me to ship him the amp and he would make the change.

I ran a Celestion CL80 in mine for bit. Sounded good.

Steve Carr made the headbox for me.

Vibroworld made me a custom one a few years back.

First off I changed the speaker in my 1x12 slant 6 to a vintage 30 and I like it alot better than the kingpin. I have a new head box that I have never used that is for sale if you want to email me .

There's a Carr Slant 6 head cabinet in the For Sale section right now.

I bet it was mine........I had one just like it. Doug Holt at Jenkins cab mounted the salt n pepper grille cloth.

Thanks for all the input guys. I think I'm going to try the v30. I'll let you know what I think later.

I had the 6v head, and tried it with several set ups. I didn't like it with V30's at all. The Scumback green backs are awsome, but I liked the 6v with Weber 1230-55's best. I like the scumbacks the best with my new amp though.
