best speaker for a DC-3 1X12 combo?

[Finnster]

Any suggestions?

I used to own a DC-3 and i run it through my Peavey 4x12. It has no issue pushing it and it sounded descent.

thanks, it sounds great through my 4X12 but I need to replace the combo speaker and wanted some suggestions. The V-30's are pricey!

You should try the Vintage Black Shadow speakers, that were made by Eminence to Mesa. they really match well with the DC-3 (my bands mate is using a DC-3 head with a 1x12 open cab with one of those speakers and sounds huge!!).

they're pretty cheap right now, you can get one for 30-35 bucks, if not less. 8)

sometimes they pop up here . . . send Jim a pm (JimAnsell) and ask if he have one right now to sell, he prob does. 8)

or keep an eye at evilbay, sometimes they pop up there also.

I really prefer the Celestion Black Shadow over the Vintage Black Shadow.

That being said, the Vintage 30 sounds really, really good in my DC-3.

Go with the V30 in your DC-3 Combo.

Then add a 112 EVM Theile cab underneath it for even more fabulous tone.

I do NOT like the Celestion/Black Shadow C-90 with this amp.

I haven't actually tried the Celestion Black Shadow in the amp, only in a 1/2 back 1x12 Mesa cab. It sounded VERY good, but that was in conjunction with the Vintage 30. Great combination of speakers.

I went with an Eminence Texas Heat (got one for $50.00) It sounds very nice so far, it is new so some break-in time will tell for sure. Of course after I bought it some V-30's popped up on the classified section...that always happens.

Now if I can just narrow down the buzz/rattle in the amp this will be the perfect lil' amp on the go. It sounds fantastic otherwise.

Thanks for all the help
