I'm wondering how much a SICA Neo speaker changed out for the BW would reduce the weight of a NV400? And how it would effect the tone? Can anyone who has done this comment on this?

10.3 pounds less. SICA Premium, 15" speaker weighs 6.7 pounds.

The premium light, cast frame has less high end than a 1501-4SB. Sounds more like the older 1502-4 speaker.

If you want that Black Widow 1501-4 or JBL type high end it is not the speaker you want.

They used to make a standard light speaker, steel stamped frame from SICA. It had a better high end for the JBL type tone that some want. Can't seem to find it on the site at CED anymore

Sonny , I weighed my NV400 the other day on a set of digital scales and it weighed just over 53 lbs. it has a Black Widow in it. The Black Widow weighs around 18lbs. The Sica weighs less than 7 lbs. Around 6.7 lbs. That would put the NV400 at 42lbs. About the same as a Nashville 112.
