Am I right in thinking that a Weber 8A100 will actually fit in a Champ cab by simply removing the bell cover? I know I made a 10A100 fit in a Zoo 1 this way. ---------- LSC
Hi LSC. I bought a pair of 8A100 from the factory and they had no bell covers. I assumed that was normal. I'm certain they'd fit. It's hard to imagine a smaller back end on a speaker. They're smaller (magnet diameter) than the ceramic sig8 in my hg2 cab. May protrude rearward a little further.
I have a tweed Champ clone using a cabinet that is the same physical size as the HG1 that I procured from Mojo Musical Supply. I have a 8A125-O with the bell cover attached. It fits just fine.
The original tweed Champ cabinet is physically smaller than the HG1 or many 5F1 replicas.
