Re: tight fit speaker

[Mojo Red <harplicks@xxxxxxxxx>]

On a very similar note...

I'm thinking of putting in a Weber 12A150 (P12N)
into my Blues Jr. but am afraid that thick Alnico
magnet just won't fit. Anyone have experience with
this? Can it be done? Is it too tight?

My alternative choice is a Weber 12F150 (C12N) with
ceramic magnet, that I'm told is another great
speaker choice for harp players.

Thanks for any useful input you might have.
