Neo magnet for Peavey Session 500 ?

[Larry Johnson]

Hi guys , Have you ever put a new Neo magnet on a session 500. I was told it may not fit, because the board in back of the speaker Is at a 45 degree angle.
If you have done this on your session 500, let me know please. I tried a search here but nothing came up.
Also I need to know here I can buy the magnet and how much. If it will work I am going to do it,and save my back. Thanks for your help, Larry J.

How much difference in weight is there between a BW mag and a neo mag? anyone...

MR Charlie, did you have any problems with clearance?
How much weight did you save. How much was the magnet ,and where do you get it? Thanks , Larry J.

i had no problem with clearance. i took at lest 7#s off the weight. i ordered the magnet through a local music dealer here in augusta ga. "center stage music" 706 860 8600. hope this helps.

Hey Charlie,
Would you have the part no. for the Neo magnet?

Actually in particular, I'm looking for the part no. of a neo magnet that will fit a 12" black widow...
there's about 5 different ones on the Peavey site.

Thanks,
Rick

From what I understand the Mafia switched to tying a Session 500 around a guy's neck when they wanted to sink them in the east River. None were ever found.
