Fender FR-12 preamp mod : The Hissterectomy

[skolacki]

Populated and easy plug and play. But a tinkerer (like myself) would still have a cool toolbox to play with.

I would certainly consider a contract to license the Gerbers and BOM to a reputable FRFR manufacturer, or another similar private labeled custom preamp.

These would be great for DIY builds with something like the Icepower amps and a good coaxial speaker.

Yes, but different drivers may need crossover component tweaking for flat response at the “right” crossover point.

If I was building a cab I’d just go with the Eminence speaker, tweeter, and cross over sold on Parts Express. Same as what Xitone was using back when he was building speakers. I was going to build a cab but decided to buy one of the Fenders. I built an F12 cab which I like a lot. I’ll pick up a Fender pretty soon but for now I’m good.
