SOLD vintage 4 x 12 with vintage Hiwatt Fane drivers 8 ohm £300 - UPDATED to show driver cone
I put this together for a Who tribute band but I have left the band and it is unusual to find the need for two x 4x12s in most bands! I actually only ever used one. There is a small chunk out of the board at the back of the cab but this doesn't affect it in any way. I want £300 for it which is basically the cost of putting it together - the cab didn't cost me much but adding all the other bits and the drivers bumped it up obviously without all the work I put into it. The silicone is to seal the edges and a few small screw holes in the baffle board.
The speakers are 8 ohm each wired in parallel/series to give a total speaker load of 8 ohms. This is quite handy if you want to use an attenuator, as I did, as these are often 8 ohm versions as most combos are 8 ohms. This means you can share the attenuator between a head with 4 x 12 and a combo.

I’ve also seen them in a tatty 68 Hiwatt 4x12. It was the one with the aluminium badge and shredded herringbone cloth on Gumtree about a year back.
I believe Simms Watts used them too.
They’re brilliant speakers. Glwts.
I wouldn’t blame you if you did keep them. They’re hard to find. You’ll pull them out in a couple of years and be well chuffed!
