Hi All

I run a 5 piece rock band ..(Guitar, Bass, Keys, Drums we mic everything) .. recently I'm having Sub Problems ..
It turns out that I burnt out My EV Eliminator Subs .. funny thing is .. one of them was just re-coned by EV .. got it back, but it had a Sort of a Squeak to it. They say that they will re-do the work for free .. but my question is this.
Would I be better off with 2 Re-coned Eliminator Subs ..
or should I look into putting different replacement Drivers in the Cabinets now that I got the old ones out .. ?
It's about $150 each to re-cone (although I guess one is already paid for)

.. I thought about one of these Drivers
or something that wont kill me on price ??

PEAVEY 18" LOW RIDER SUBWOOFER (http://www.partsexpress.com/pe/showdetl.cfm?&Partnumber=294-301)

EMINENCE SIGMA PRO-18A-2 18" CAST FRAME DRIVER (http://www.partsexpress.com/pe/showdetl.cfm?&Partnumber=290-427)

or Re-Cone The EV's ???

Welcome to the audioforums mixman. I am kinda partial to Peavey subs, I have been using them since 1971 when I bought a pair of 1-118 cabs (the size of refrigerators) lol to play bass through...eventually we worked these into the PA system as we mic'ed all the instruments...I've literally done everything in the book to PV subs including freezing weather and they always worked...still use Blackwidows to date. The Lowriders are suppose to be real nice...if you want to save money...recone...I've done it to the Sheffields (monitor speakers) many times.
