Important Note

Watts: The guaranteed long term power rating throughout the usable frequency range of the speaker.

(Translation: the speaker will operate continuously at any frequency within the speakers specified frequency range when driven at this power. The "Watts" rating is similar to RMS, but is really more indicative of long term thermal capability.)

Music Program: The speaker will safely and reliably handle the varying frequencies of musical content at this power rating. The "Music Program" rating is more indicative of what you can expect in the real world with the speaker operating within the appropriate enclosure reproducing music or vocal audio program.

"Great V30'esque sound!"

Verified Purchaser zZounds has verified that this reviewer purchased this specific product from us.

First and foremost, I mainly play all types of metal. I tried this speaker on a whim from various different reviews and from reading all of the info that Eminence has to offer on their website. I recommend checking out their website before you purchase one of their loudspeakers. They have tons of info there. You can download a PDF selection guide or even email their tech support for help on exactly what you're looking for. I am very pleased with my choice. The distorted sound of this speaker is great! It has the V30 mid range sound that most modern metal players go for, and isn't too harsh or icy picky with the high end. Works great from the metalcore fast, tight riffing sound to the 'djent' sound. I loaded a Swamp Thang with a Governor in a vertical 2x12 with two 2 1/2" ports in the middle. Governor on top, Swamp on the bottom. Definitely my favorite combo of speakers now. The Governor pumps out the mid-range, and the Swamp rounds it off with its powerful low end. This cabinet is a completely different animal now. I definitely recommend it for metal. And the best part, made in the USA!!
