Has anyone put an Celestion Alnico Gold is this amp? I'm dying to try an alnico, but I don't know if it would fit... there are measurements on Celestions site, but before spending almost $300 on a non-returnable speaker, I'd feel better hearing from someone who has actually attempted it...lol...

Celestion Gold use 4 screws and have only 4 holes on the speaker's basket.

Did you amp may use only 4 screws ? Many Fender amps can't .

Celestion gold is great. So are a lot of alnico speakers. Try them.

Yeah 4 screws is fine but many Fender ( vintage an other ? ) amp have 8 screws coming from the baffle. You have to slide speaker hole on these screws and put the nuts.

You can't slide a 4 holes speaker in those 8 screws.

Sorry. I was thinking only four are required. If eight are there then four would require removal. That would be a personal choice also depending on difficulty.

IIRC the Supersonic 22 has a removable grill frame. If so, that would expose the speaker's mounting screws which would facilitate easier removal should it be necessary.

The grill is held in place with Velcro strips in each corner. It is easy to remove.

My suspicion was correct -- thanks for the confirmation, Bill.

The speaker in my SS 22 is held by only four mounting screws. So four of the eight holes in the stock Eminence speaker are empty! :P
