Eminence Patriot Texas Heat 12" Guitar Speaker, 150 Watts at 8 Ohms,Black

Great sound. Great volume.

I was looking for a speaker to put in my Vibrolux single channel. I wanted something different from the smooth cone speaker that came in it. I went through several speakers before I found the Texas heat and all I can say is my search is over.This speaker has a full low end without being flabby the midrange is smooth as glass and the highs are present without being piercing.Because my amp cabinet is the size of a Princeton reverb I needed a speaker that sounded big and full. This speaker accomplished this and really compliments the amplifier by bringing out those sweet Vibrolux tones.Eminence nailed it with this truly American sounding speakerThanks Mike

I put two of these in my 1980s Peavey combo amp and WOW! It’s a whole new amp now. I play punk rock and metal and these have a very full sound even in an open back amplifier. I would recommend them to anyone.

This speaker is likely the best speaker you can put in a solid state/modeling amp to round out the tone and give a huge tone. I have one of these in my line 6 catalyst 100 and the improvement in tone is instantly noticeable. The highs are sweetened mids set in a nice spot and bass is full. Now I have purchased another which will be going in a Boss katana 100 mkii combo and I know from installing the first texas heat (4 ohm version) into my catalyst 100, that this (8 ohm version) of the Texas heat Will be a huge improvement in tone for my Boss katana 100 mkii combo. Eminence makes great speakers that will truly upgrade many amplifiers be it solid state, modeling or tube.

A very good sounding speaker. Deep bass response, somewhat subdued mids and treble in my 1x12 homemade cab. I found there was a little band of coloration of the sound in the low-mid area which sounded fine on its own until I A-B compared it to the GB128 which I had also purchased. For my needs of blues type tone in my Blues Junior I went with the GB128. The Texas Heat to me is more a rock and roll sounding speaker and if used for that is a very fine speaker.

I have a few guitar speakers that I have used throughout the years to try out in different guitar amplifiers including Celestion G12 M65 Creamback (8 ohm), H75 Creamback (8 ohm), 2002 and 2016 Mesa Boogie voiced Vintage 30 (8 ohm), EVM 12L Series II (8 ohm), and Jensen P12Q (8 ohm). I recently purchased and used the Texas Heat (8 ohm) in my Red Stripe Peavey Bandit 112, which tends to be bright or having more presence and high end than most amps. I normally use a Celestion M65 Creamback in my Peavey Bandit since it has good low end and low mid (200-400) frequency response, softer upper mids (2.5-4k) and rolls off the presence (5-7k) and high end (8k and up) and thus making it easier to dial in a full, warm, and smooth tone. The Texas Heat does what the M65 Creamback does with just a little more defined low end and just a tad less woody sound (400-500hz) which seems to allow more clarity in the mid-mids and upper-mids. IMHO, both the M65 Creamback (8 ohm) and the Texas Heat (8 ohm) are great in taming bright amps (Fender 65 DRRI, Vox AC15C1, Marshall DSL 40, etc.) and in particular providing a full, warm, and smooth tone for blues, rock, and jazz. Please keep in mind that I am referring to the 8 ohm versions of these speakers, not the 16 ohm versions of these speakers which tends to be much brighter and slightly mid scooped, and particularly in an open-back cabinet application, not closed back which tends to make speakers slightly brighter and fairly narrow in frequency response.

I have a Carvin SX200 combo. It's 150 watt and i wanted to upgrade the speakers and clean up my sound. My combo has 2x12 so i replaced one of the stock speakers with this Texas heat and it sounds cleaner and smoother. The speaker hasn't broken in yet but so far it has cleared up my top end. My high strings don't sound shrill anymore. It lacks the bass by itself but sounds good paired with the Carvin V12.It almost sounds like I'm playing a nylon string guitar. I play clean mostly. For those purposes it is great. I tried it with my dirty channel and it sounds good there as well. I plan to replace my other stock speaker with a Swamp Thang to fill in the bottom based on other reviews I've read.I like it so far no complaints it did make my old amp sound better

I replaced a V30 in a 1x12 with this speaker. It's paired with a Boss Katana mkII head. The V30 was too bright and lacking lows. Couldn't dial it in the way I like. The V30 sounded great in a 2x12. Research "bass coupling". Anyway, the Texas Heat was an excellent choice allowing me to dial it in to whatever sound I desire. There's actually a lot of upper mids on tap, or it can be dialed back for more lows. Either way there's a lot of range on the eq dials. Also, a lot of mids bight overdriven without the high end fizz. This is a very good match with the Katana and probably very good with most 1x12's. Go watch "in the blues" comparison with it's brother the Swamp Thang on youtube. Highly recommended! Just be aware that the mounting holes are measured slightly different than Celestions.

non fatevi ingannare dalle recensioni online dove si mettono a confronto questo speaker con altri di ottima marca e qualità. io lh'ho montato sul mio peavey classic 30 ed ho trovato un'accoppiata eccezionale. suono stupendo già subito, immagino quando sarà rodato. ottimo per suoni puliti e distorti, jazz, blues, classic rock, hard rock, grunge.... ci si suona di tutto. consigliatissimo

Put the Texas Heat into my Blues Jr, suits the amp to a tee. Amp sounds huge!!

Swapped out the stock Celestion Hot 100 in my Fender Mustang IIIv2 after doing my research and the Texas Heat made ALL the difference.No more icepick highs, odd hums or digital phantoms that were beginning to drive me insane.Absolutely love it and would highly recommend this speaker to everybody using a Mustang III or IV v2, the tone difference is unbelievable. In fact this should have be the stock speaker shipped with the Mustang series.It's like a completely different amp now.Extremely happy with this purchase.

I purchased this speaker to replace the stock speaker in my Peavey Bandit 112 red stripe. The difference in tone was exactly what I was looking for. It removed the harsh top end and warmed everything else up. The speaker hasn’t even had time to break in and I really like the tone. I’m sure that it will only get better in time.

Turned a mundane amp into something to talk about!
