Detail 01
15 watt handling
Very low. Match it to an amp of similar output. A 50-watt head into this will cook the voice coil quickly.

Sale
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A 15-watt alnico 12-inch speaker with a bright, chimey break-up. Aimed at low-wattage combos and players after early distortion at low volume.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Low-wattage amps under 15 watts, where the speaker itself breaks up
- Chimey clean and edge-of-breakup tones at manageable room volume
- Rebuilding a vintage-style 1x12 or 2x12 combo
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- High-gain or high-wattage heads that will destroy it
- Bass, keys or full-range use of any kind
- Players who want clean headroom at stage volume
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
Alnico magnet
Alnico compresses earlier and softer than ceramic, so notes bloom and soften as you dig in rather than staying rigid.
Detail 03
8 ohm impedance
Runs alone on an 8-ohm output. Two in parallel make 4 ohms; two in series make 16.
Detail 04
12-inch cone
Standard guitar size, so it drops into most combos and cabs cut for a 12 without adapting the baffle.
Detail 05
Bare driver, single unit
No cab, no wire, no hardware. Price covers one speaker. A 2x12 needs two matched units.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Check your amp's output wattage first. Exceeding 15 watts risks the speaker.
- 02Confirm baffle cutout and bolt pattern fit before ordering.
- 03No cabinet, hardware or connecting wire included.
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01What amp wattage can I use with this?
Keep the amp at or below 15 watts. This speaker is built for small valve amps where the speaker distorting is part of the sound, not for high-power heads.
02What does the alnico magnet actually change?
Alnico saturates and compresses earlier than ceramic. Attack softens, notes swell slightly, and the speaker adds its own break-up before the amp is fully cranked.
03Can I use two in a 2x12?
Yes. Two 8-ohm speakers wired in parallel give 4 ohms, in series 16 ohms. Combined handling is 30 watts. Match both speakers.
04Is this suitable for bass?
No. It is a guitar speaker with very low power handling. Bass excursion will damage it.
