Apparently the 12" Scorpion speaker in my peavey special 130 is blown.. I was just curious if I need to replace it with the same speaker it came with.. or if I could throw something like this 12" Black Widow:

in it.

Just curious what my options are here.. Also I can't seem to find much info on the special 130 anywhere.. If someone had a link to some good info on the amp I'd appreciate it.

Thanks!

just a note regarding your desire to replace your blown speaker.......personally, i wouldn't replace a peavey factory speaker with another peavey factory speaker...............for your money you can get a much more responsive, toneful, musical sounding speaker from an 'aftermarket' source ......i like the most recent offerings from Eminence speakers....for your applicatiion, perhaps >>>>

--of course there are others from Eminence as well as different companies like Weber & Celestion.

--make sure you purchase a speaker of the same / proper ohms as your amp is designed for (the same as the original speaker)
