I was browsing the weber site and there are so many speaker options. Which ones do you guys recommend? I am looking into the other group now.

What do you guys think of Celestions? I do play rock/metal type stuff lol.

Actually, I just found Eminence Legend 1518 15" Guitar Driver, 8 Ohm, 150 Watt. Sounds tempting...I might just go with 2 of those

The Eminence Legend (or their Big Ben) would be an outstanding choice.

When the amp is finished I will post more stuff on it. I'm going to give the speakers that are already in there a try before i ponder replacing them. I just wanted to learn a little more about them.

I'd be more than glad to show it after its done

Patience can be an economic virtue. Don't be in a ball-crushing rush to buy anything until you've fully explored the options and understand them completely.

If it pleases your ears and didn't bust your budget, you've done well.

Rawk on!

Metalfan...nice job! It cleaned up nicely and you had the pleasure of saving another piece of Fender History!

Enjoy your "New" amp.
