Title: best replacement speakers for a Sunn O))) 200S 2x15 cabinet
Post by: Doozer on July 25, 2015, 01:35:58 am

Hello to all on the Sunn O))) Forum!
I plan to buy an empty/unloaded Sunn 200S 2x15 cabinet, and was wondering what brand/model of speakers you might recommend. I'm not really a purist--I would just like some solid, loud, reasonably-priced replacement drivers that won't break the bank.
I have a Sunn Coliseum amp, rated 300 watts at 2 ohms.
(Should I also have said replacement speakers wired for 2 ohms to take advantage of the full wattage rating of the amp?).
I'm looking to play sludgy doom/stoner/psychedelic/dubbed-out jams with some healthy doses of fuzz.
Many thanks in advance for your advice.
Peace.

I wouldn't go for a 2 ohm cabinet. I'd go for 4 ohms in your position. The difference in power is minimal, the amp will run cooler, and you can always add another 4 ohm cabinet if you want or need more sound.
