thanks for the help, i havnt noticed any poorer volume differance, in fact its actually louder then it was be for hand, i took it up just past half and the windows started to rattle lol the amp was drounding out my buddys fender dual reverb delux stack, and the sound im getting out of the celestion classic lead 80 is increadible, and playing through a stratocaster, the sound is a perfect match, its got really nice rich lows and an extreemly detailed high end, and the mids have an almost silky feel, compairing it to the stock speaker i had in it, this speaker blows it out of the water, no matter what sound i play with, it sounds utterly amazing, from having the settings set from a dimondplate 4x12 treadplate metal sound to a warm crisp and clean double verb 4x12 brit v30's. i have to admit changing the speaker alone changes the tone dramadicly, more so then swapping pickups or using pedals, celestion puts out. and it made me speachless considering the amp is only a 1x12 combo, and i havent even broke the speaker in yet. heh heh heh, ill let ya know how it sounds after i get it broke in.
