RMA: 12” speaker for an ampeg VT-22 that would be articulate and clean for bass. For folks unfamiliar, a VT22 is an ampeg V4 but as a 2x12 combo.

EVM-12L or its Eminence equivalent EM-12. They do have a breakup point but for moderate volume bass it should do the trick.

Nobody likes the Weber option anymore? Weber Michigan (edit) used to be the EV 12L replacement, but never compared the Eminence model side by side. Have owned the Webers and EVs though.

I don't know the Chicago but I had a Michigan briefly and thought it was dull and flabby (which surprised me at 100w). I've liked most Weber guitar speakers under 60w though.

Eminence basslite a contender?

Unfamiliar but it looks promising! Others on here have praised different lite models.

Probably not the answer you're looking for but....plug it into a closed back cab.

Oh yeah, it was the Michigan, not the Chicago I’m thinking of

Computer speakers for under $150?
