I know alot of people say that alnicos need to breathe, but is there any harm done with using them in a closed back cabinet?

I would say it is all up to the user. If you do alot of heavy gain, palm muting, where you need that nice tight chunky bass, then a lot of guys use a closed back speaker. If your a country, blues, classic rock kinda guy, I would say go with the open back cab. The open back cabs seem to fill the room better. If you like the way a combo amp sounds, then I would say use open back, especially with alnicos. I've got the same set up as you (Blue+G12H-55), only I'm using an open back. I'ld say let the speakers have a chance to break in for 30-50 hours, then you'll really hear the difference. It looks like you can take the back panel off of your cab, so I would try that and see if you like it better.

I just wanted to make sure I wasnt going to blow the voice coil on the Alnico by using it in a closed back situation. I hear that the blue dog only gets sweeter and smoother with time. I can't wait
