Hi mate, great video. I'm interested in what the poly-fil is supposed to do exactly. It seemed to really take the really hard edge off the G12-T75 sound and I definitely prefer it. Is that what it's supposed to do or is it above reducing volume as well?
In hifi speakers and recording monitors it is supposed to slow down the waves in the box and extend the low end (sound bigger than it is). In conjunction with porting, you can get very big sounds in a small format. It is used many manufacturers of guitar cabs as well, notably Bogner. To my ears, with the frequency range of guitars and guitar cabs, I think it just kind of tightens up the cab and attenuates some high end. That is kind of what I noticed with this experiment. For recording, I very rarely need more low end than a traditional 412 can bring to the table and will often highpass, but the sweetness of the topend sounded good to me with the poly-fil here so I kept it.
Haha! Thanks for the comment! Well it's certainly not zero work, but it's actually not that bad. I've done so many of these and built around 40 cabinets that it's kind of relaxing at this point. The only annoying part with replacing grill cloth is removing the old staples. Just put on a podcast or a gear-related video from a channel of your choice and go to work!
There's hardly any difference with and without - Plus once you are mixed in with the entire band, there. will be zero difference. The new grill cloth looks better tho, lol. Best way to get a better sound is to take two of those speakers out, and switch them out to V30's or Greenbacks.
I agree that there is hardly a difference, but I was curious and it was easier to leave it in after the test. I currently have replaced two of the 75s with Mojotone greenback clones in an X pattern and it sounds really great. It also gives me a more options when micing it up. Thanks for the comment!
Sound awesome! Love your video.
Exactly what I have to do 🤟🏼

EQ'ing is all you need to do to take the edge off those speakers a bit.
This looks like a nightmare to do

@@heyitsmekid I WOULD LOVE a video of a before and after the speaker switch and PLEASE highlight some of the micing options.
