So, bottom line: The Swamp Thang changes the DRRI. If you're looking for the S.T. to generate that classic Fender tone, only on steroids, you're likely to be disappointed. If you want a louder, Fenderized modern tone in a classic Fender amp, you will probably like.

Jensen is showing an SPL of 99.1 dB for their C12K -- the Eminence Swamp Thang is rated for 102 dB.

"Nedorama" here on the forum has been experimenting with a pair of WGS 12's and preliminarily is reporting excellent results. Check their website for specs of the specific speaker you have in mind.

With the Swamp Thang in a DR you'll be keeping up with the 6L6 amps.

I'm down to the eminence cannibis Rex, the weber 12f150
50 watt, and the wgs G12C/S 75 watts.
Ok I have a question that I'm sure some don't know what that
means.
The weber offers a doping option from none to heavy.
What is doping exactly? I thought it was some sort of breaking
In technique, am I wrong? But that's why I didn't indicate
a doping option on the weber.
Out of the 3 which would be the ideal, for late break up
Loud enough to gig, tight lows somewhat scooped mids
Sparkly highs but smooth.
I have a feeling it's gonna be the weber

Just found the answer (I was looking for) about the doping on a speaker (I know, its an old tread :mrgreen: )

Here it is:

Doping is the shiny goop you see on the surround of a speaker. Besides extending the life of the surround, it also acts as a shock absorber to help keep the cone under control at higher volumes. The downside is that it also dampens cone vibrations and therefore reduces the potential character and texture of the speaker. If you are going to bend/sustain notes in the area above the 10th fret on the high E string and at high volumes with heavy distortion, then you need the doping to help prevent ghost notes and cone cry that could result from the extreme cone vibrations. Othewise, I would get the speaker undoped. Many players prefer the raw, undamped tone of the undoped speaker and they learn to modulate their finger pressure when noting in the area that causes cone cry.
Pre-Rola Treatment For this doping, the cone is artificially aged and chemically treated. Vibration dampner compound is also applied to the cone body and surround.
