| I am thinking about ordering one and trying it out and if I like it I am going to buy another for my 2nd NV112. Is anyone else running them in their rig? How do you like them as oppsed to the blue marlin's? |

You will love them. More midrange, more headroom. Be sure to put in the Ken Fox chips, then stand back.

| How long has this speaker been available? I've not heard of a 1203-4 super until this post. I have a 1203-4 in my twin I bought about a year ago. Is this a new model? |

| Can anyone advise if these speakers are a new issue as Peavey Europe say the 1203-4 Black Widows are discontinued and they only have 12 inch BW speakers in 8 ohm versions. |

| I thought the 1203-4 was stock in the Nashville 112-E speaker cabinets that were popular in the mid 1990's. |

Fellows, the current 1203 Super is not the same as the older 1203's from the 90's.
I believe that only the 8 ohm version is currently in production, while possibly the Replacement basket for recent 4 ohm models may be still available. You may still be able to find some complete recent 4 ohm models from sources that haven't sold out of them though.
You may be able to order the components separately as well.
The older ones in the 112E's were a specially treated paper cone and voiced for steel guitar. If there were some models before that, I don't know.
The current ones are designed for PA apps. They are Kevlar impregnated cones.
You can look up the Thiele/Small data on Peavey's website. If you know how to decode it, it might be of some value in comparing them. I have some leads to the data if you can't find it.
I have some of the older ones, but have not played through the newer ones, so I don't know how they compare sonically.
As always I defer to Mike Brown or other Peavey expert and submit that my statements are based on my collection of info gathered from the company over the years of production. |
