A few months ago when I got the Egnater Tweaker 15 watt head, during trial I was using my 200 watt EVM12L (Which I bought when I purchased my Mesa Boogie Mark IIC+ head long ago in the early mid 80's) Anyways I began hearing this crackle in what I thought was the speaker. I had a Weber Beam blocker in front of the speaker so I removed it and the crackle was still there. So I put my 300 watt EVM12L behind the Tweaker and all has been well ever since then. I did change out my guitar chord because it was causing a hum when I changed cabs.

Anyways all these months I was thinking the 200 watt EVM 12L was toast. So today out of boredom I decided to take out the 200 watt speaker and demo it against the 300 watt speaker side by side, I placed it up on a table next to the 300 watt model expecting that crackle to show up any minute. And low and behold it never showed up. It must have been that guitar cable I changed out those months ago.

I did notice the 300 watt was slightly deeper sounding than the 200 watt model, which is a little brighter. Not noticeably so to someone in a band situation, but up on the table it was slightly different.

Now in my mind a nice thing happened to me today.

Just so we cover all the bases, cross our i's and dot our t's:
You're not using a regular guitar cable to connect a speaker to an amp head, are you?

I was using a standard guitar cable in front of my pedal board which was faulty. Replacing that cable fixed the problem. The speaker has been working well ever since I changed the cable. That was at the problem.

Thanks for your reply.
