I'd have thought that a guitar speaker is more in danger of the cone getting accidental damage from kicks, knocks, being dropped, rattling loose if not fitted properly. Last damaged (hifi) speaker cone I saw was due to my then 3 year old daughter sticking a pencil through the cone . My fault as I tend to run hifi speakers with the grills/covers off as most spoil the fidelity. Cheers, Tony You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.
