Anyone have experience using a D140 bass speaker for steel instead of D 130. I'm sure there must be something different about the voice coil and paper they use for cone. Just wondering if the high notes from steel would burn it out? Help

I've got a D140 in a Twin Reverb. Harder to dial in "the" tone, but it sounds good. You won't hurt it.

If you want the higher frequencies, which steel players usually want, then have the 140 reconed to a 130. I did this and it works fine.
Thanx,
Jim

Correct me if I am wrong, but I have never heard of high frequences "burning out" a mid-range or woofer. Low frequencies can easily blow a mid-range or tweeter, that's what crossover networks are designed to prevent. But the reverse doesn't seem to be a problem.
