What wattage CRex did you put in your Classic 30? Also, I've heard the CREx takes longer to break in than other speakers. Just curious how long you've had yours in, and what your thoughts are on "break-in". Did it sound good right off the bat new, or did it take a while to warm up?
Well, I just put it in (50 watts, 16 ohms) and have been warimng it up by playing for 4 hours and running a cd player through it for another 4 hours so far. I have yet to crank it up. I ere I need to put about 40 hours or so hours through it to get the cone moving good. I'll give you an update after a few more days.
I don't gig so its jus at medium volume most of the time anyway.
My original speaker just sounded tired and sort of flat or farting sounding. So far this Cannabis Rex in there is a big, happy improvement tone wise. The volume is about the same and I'll turn t up after I break it in.
Sounds good so far, my guess it'll probably just improve.
