Strong match

Who this is for

  • Reloading an empty or tired 4x12 guitar cabinet
  • Amps up to roughly 120 watts total across four speakers
  • Players chasing a vintage-leaning midrange voice

Consider the trade-offs

When to look elsewhere

  • Bass rigs — the 75Hz low limit cuts off the bottom
  • Full-range PA or hi-fi use, given the 5kHz ceiling
  • Anyone unwilling to solder and wire a speaker array

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 01

30W per speaker, 16 ohms each

Four together handle around 120W. Series-parallel wiring lands at 16 ohms total, matching most 4x12 cab wiring.

Detail 02

75-5000Hz range

A classic guitar speaker window. It rolls off harsh top end and does not reach bass-guitar lows.

Detail 03

100dB sensitivity

Loud for the wattage. The cab will feel louder than the 30W rating suggests at the same amp setting.

Detail 04

Ceramic magnet, 50 oz

Firmer and tighter than alnico, with more headroom before the speaker itself starts to compress.

Detail 05

1.75 inch voice coil

A smaller coil breaks up earlier and warmer, which is where the blues and rock voicing comes from.

Detail 06

85Hz resonance, 5.3 inch depth

Shallow enough for most closed-back 4x12s. Check clearance behind the baffle before ordering.

Final check

Know before you order

  1. 01No cabinet, wire, or connectors included — speakers only
  2. 02Measure the 11.1 inch cutout and 11.7 inch bolt circle against your baffle
  3. 03Wiring four 16-ohm speakers wrong will mismatch your amp's output impedance

Product questions

Before you decide

Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.

01What impedance will my cabinet be?

Each speaker is 16 ohms. Series-parallel wiring of all four gives 16 ohms total, which suits most tube heads.

02How much power can the cabinet handle?

Each speaker is rated 30W, so a full set handles about 120W total when the load is shared evenly.

03Will these fit my existing 4x12?

Check the 11.1 inch cutout, 11.7 inch mounting circle, four mounting slots, and 5.3 inch depth against your baffle.

04Can I use these for bass guitar?

No. The response starts at 75Hz and the 30W rating is aimed at guitar. Bass will push them past their limits.
