The worst thing in my life was joining a rock and roll band at age 19 and running with them for a few years. That was my first BIG mistake LOLOL...But once you've learned guitar it never really goes away

I'm building a 4x12 using Goldwoods. I had two and they sounded good so I bought two more!

Positive and negative only matter a little. More so if there are multiple speakers because they have to be connected the same to be in phase with each other. But for a single speaker I don’t think you can hear if it’s inverted. My OCD would still require me to connect them right, though.

[@SirTools]

In phase etc..yeah..that is OCD ......

I was thinking about you while working to clean up that amp

[@jefffree6990]

Nice rescue! On old Fender tube amps isopropyl alcohol is used for cleaning and drying out the circuit boards. But this is more like a computer. Good call to replace the speaker. BTW that speaker is not really a guitar speaker - its a woofer for audio. But whatever works!

removing salt, isopropyl alcohol will not work. I've tried it many years ago and like I stated in the video clean pure hot water will break and remove the salt. The speaker seems to have a good sound and for budgets. I did go over the specs and it was actually better than expected results. I'm wondering about the Fender speaker. It appears to be a cheap production item "made in China" and maybe we need to look into the source.
