Re: Replacement options for 15" custom ported cab?

Smokey,

Why did you replace the stock Fender 12", was it simply to cut down on weig=
ht?  "Works" is just not good enough for a tone-freak like myself.. Did you=
 notice a warmer/tighter Bass tone?  More clean headroom? Or did it mostly =
sound the same only saving trips to the chiropractor?
