Front Loaded/Rear Loaded Speakers.

BrianH	Front Loaded/Rear Loaded Speakers. Hi I'm in the process of building a closed back 2-12 and was wondering what the difference in sound between a front loaded and rear loaded speaker in a closed-back cabinet. I've only played through rear loaded cabs. I guess the only the way to know is try it front loaded out. Also, has anyone tried a combination of one front and one rear loaded in a 2x12 cabinet? brian

Hi

I'm in the process of building a closed back 2-12 and was wondering what the difference in sound between a front loaded and rear loaded speaker in a closed-back cabinet. I've only played through rear loaded cabs. I guess the only the way to know is try it front loaded out.

Also, has anyone tried a combination of one front and one rear loaded in a 2x12 cabinet?
