In this particular setup the speaker is replacing a stock speaker in a Fender Champion 110(25 watts) solid state amp. The stock speaker could not handle the bass much above 2 in the clean channel before it started rattling. I use the amp as a travel amp b/c it is light. When I play out I use a Peavey Delta Blues 210. The Fender is for long trips and vacations. For the most part it has been a useless amp. I decided to try changing the speaker to see if that would help. I started looking for replacement speakers and ran across some great sites to help make my decision. (www.vintagespeaker.com, eminence.com, usspeaker.com) Based purely on descriptions and specs, I decided to try the new Ragin Cajun speaker from Eminence. Prior to my final decision I was considering Jensens as I had always heard of them being used in the old Fender amps. Price was a factor and I did not want to spend much over 50 bucks to "try" to fix the amp. I also have a Peavey Delta Blues 210 that I figured could use the speaker in at the very least. I popped a Blue Marvel speaker out of the Peavey before the Eminence arrived and it did help the sound dramtically but still rattled around 4 or 5. When the Eminence arrived, I replaced the Blue Marvel with the Ragin Cajun. Immediately I could hear even more of a dramatic difference just between those two speakers. The new speaker can handle the amp at much higher volumes before breaking up. With a dynacomp and tele or strat with the notch potition- plenty of bottom, smooth mid and clear but not ice pick brightness for high end. The speaker does not mask the solid state sound of the amp, but does make the amp very useful. I use it as a monitor at church while my main signal goes to the board from the processor. I use the amp with volume around 2 and have no concerns of the amp breaking up whatsoever. The main thing I was trying to achieve was a clear, smooth, with some bass on the bottom clean sound. I do feel that this has been achieved in this soild state amp. I would recommend this speaker to serve this purpose very well.

no problems yet!

no problems yet!

I have been playing for almost 18 years. Played semi professionally for 5 years. Play mostly country and rock/blues styles. I prefer the sound of tube amps. Versatility is the key to staying busy as a player!
I plan to swap out the Blue Marvel speakers in the Peavey with other speakers to see if it can be brought to life so to speak. It is a good sounding amp but just can't seem to get it "broke in" the way the Classic 50 4/10 I had used to be. I sold that amp to get a lighter amp. I figured two speakers less would lighten the load! I am back and forth over the Copperhead and the Ragin Cajun. I figure I will try swapping the Ragin Cajun in the Peavey to listen to it and see if that helps make the final decision easier.
To help you gauge what sounds I like to hear ( which would influence my choice of speakers/amps) I have listed some of the people I consider Great electric players with a good sound- Brad Paisley, Robert Cray, Keith Urban, Brent Mason, Jimmy Olander, Johnny Hiland, Vince Gill, Danny Gatton

Eminence Ragin Cajun 10" speaker in a Princeton Reverb (silverface from the 70s). Traded out the stock speaker for a Weber VST (Jensen P10Q style) that was quite good but a little too bassy for me. A speaker has no features, no nothing to say here.

With a Princeton and a good custom built Tele with top notch electronics and pickups, this speaker delivers. The Weber was about an 8 an this Ragin Cajun is a 9.5. I DARE you to tell me a better speaker after you have the Eminence in the same amp. I play my DrZ Maz 38 Senior (Celestion 12"), so I know a good amp sound!

...appears well made. Some Eminence speakers are sold by Weber, but not this one.

don't know; but well packsged and freebie pick and sticker is a nice gesture.

10; sounds absolutely terrific... creamy highs and no 'icepick', yet maintains a musical TWANG. Plenty of those nice harmonics and pich harmonics are a breeze. Bass is very firm and resonant without boominess or muddiness. Webers are fine, but the other reviewer was right: this Ragin Cajun is a helluva speaker. Get the 12" (if there is one) for your Deluxe Reverb and stand back!

"Very Loud, Touch Sensitive and Responsive With Nice Bell sounding Top End and A Little Bite." The New RAGIN CAJUN 10 Inch Driver Features A Power Rating Of Up To 75 Watts (RMS) and A 30oz. Magnet. (Made In The USA)

this speaker is amazingly loud and balanced, it may be the best 10" guitar speaker i ever heard. deep and full but not too bassy. better natural tone than jensen-alnico types that come in certain model fender amps. i played a 1x10" with an orange 30 watt amp and it sounded awesome. i plan to buy another 10 incher to make a pair.

made in the usa, eminence. nuff said!

never have or will need to call them, they do it right the first time. their speakers can take a beating unlike celestions.

i use vintage style tube amps, mid grade guitars (like ltd) with duncan pickups - custom, JB model, etc... this speaker responds exceptionally well. good power handling and clarity, ea. of the new line speakers really do have their own persona.
