Ampeg svt speaker/BP102

[Vuja de]

Question: Supposedly a direct replacement according to Ampeg is that a BP102 is recommended. Does anyone know if they are that close in specs?
The reason I ask is because I have an SVT 210 cabinet not being used and I was thinking that the drivers could be pulled and used for either a T39 or even a WH10?
Thanks for any responses in advance.

The SVT driver is 32 ohms. The direct replacement is the Legend B810. I have no clue what might be in the SVT210. But I seriously doubt it's the BP102. More likely it's akin to an Alpha or Beta 10.

Actually the number on the magnet states that it is 4 ohm.
The number is 86-510-4

This is a quote I got off of Talkbass forum:

"Hi Adam,

The closest we offer to that would be the Legend BP102-4:

I heard that if you email Eminence with the number stamped on the speaker they will give you the T/S specs.
I will try this and get back.
Thanks

Wow talk about a quick response!!!
Wasn't even 15 minutes before Anthony got back to me.
Well here they are. Unfortunately no graph so it probably doesn't help with the rising midrange response.
Specs look pretty close to the Beta10

Only because it's 4 ohms. It would probably work better in a top than a sub.

Hey Bill, how about a WH10?
I've Been looking for a reason to build some.

Without an SPL chart it's a crapshoot. Whatever you do all must use the same driver for the same response.

Thanks for the responses Bill. I guess since I have the drivers and have been wanting to build WH10's, why not try it and see what happens. Worst case is they don't work out but at least I have the cabinets built with everything else ready to go minus drivers.
