Just finished replacing the stock BadCat Celestion in my Cub II T 112 with an Eric Johnson sig.
A fantastic improvement in tone to my ear-it seems very evenly balanced with a nice smooth break-up when pushed, without ice-pick highs or mushy booming lows.
But getting it in there was a job- couldn't get any two mounting holes to line up, let alone the four I needed.
I very carefully voided my warranty by using a 1/2" countersink bit to cut the holes back to the very edge of the speaker frame, then used a rat tail file to ream them out. All four mounting bolts just barely cleared the edge of the speaker.
I was wondering whether anyone else has encountered this problem, and whether this is a manufacturers' defect on Eminences' account, or something inherent in BadCats' bolt and socket mounting system.
I didn't see anything unusual in the Celestion in regard to it's hole pattern, or notice any modification on the frame.
Anyway, it's in there and sounds great. Just be aware that it may require a little work to install this one in your amp.
