Midbass hump = Ampeg Still, I agree that they're not the right speaker for the OP.

And Duke is right, it's mainly about the octave overtone for lower notes.

i usually use keps-nuts (a nut with built-in star washer) or nylok nuts and have never had one come loose.

But if you don't want an exaggerated midbass hump and you've got more than 50 watts there are many better choices, all of which are contingent on compatibility...

A woofer in tweeters clothing?

I have 2 restored Kawasaki, 3 cylinder, 2 stroke motorcycles. Nothing vibrates worse than these bikes and they spin up to 8,000 RPM (regularly!) Nylocks with a drop of Loctite 242 is unstopable and is standard fare on the drag bikes as well. Keps nuts are also nice but they scar the mating surface of nicely machined parts.

Definitely check the support rods for the tube cage like beans-on-toast said, I had a rattle in my old one that seemed to emanate from that rod being loose. I tightened it up and it was good to go, but one was always higher than the other, which I found odd. I also found a penny in there, which probably wasn't a good thing to have flopping around when the head was flipped upside. My "new" B-15 also has a loose support...

Usually less than five days? BTW I always leave my amp running at least half power with a signal going into it. Man is my electric bill killing me and I've worn out three converters so I wouldn't "underpower" my cabs in the band trailer? Just kidding of course.
