CelestionG12 EVH Van Halen Signature Guitar Speaker 15 ohm
1/3
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A 12-inch ceramic guitar speaker rated 20W in 15 ohm. For low-wattage amps and small cabs where a hard-driven speaker is part of the sound.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Low-wattage combos and 1x12 cabs under 20 watts
- Players wanting speaker breakup at manageable room volume
- Replacing a blown 12-inch in a shallow cabinet
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- High-wattage heads — 20W handling is easily exceeded
- Anyone needing 8 or 16 ohm to match their amp
- Loud stages needing clean headroom at 96dB sensitivity
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
15 ohm nominal impedance
Wire it alone to a 16 ohm amp tap. Pairing it with other speakers changes the total load.
Detail 03
96dB sensitivity
Needs more amp power for the same loudness than a higher-sensitivity speaker. Quieter swap in the same cab.
Detail 04
75–5000Hz frequency range
No deep bass, no sizzle above 5kHz. That top rolloff is why guitar speakers sound smooth, not harsh.
Detail 05
35oz ceramic magnet
Ceramic tends toward a firmer low end and tighter response than alnico of similar size.
Detail 06
5.1 inch overall depth, 11.1 inch cutout
Measure your cab before ordering. Depth and baffle cutout must both clear, or it will not mount.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Speaker only — no wire, hardware, gasket or connectors included
- 02Check your amp's output impedance matches 15 ohm before wiring
- 03Four mounting slots on 11.7 inch pattern; confirm your baffle lines up
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Can I use this with a 50-watt amp?
Not safely on its own. It is rated 20W. A 50W amp will exceed that well before the volume knob is up.
02Will it fit my cabinet?
It needs an 11.1 inch cutout, 11.7 inch mounting pattern and 5.1 inches of depth clearance behind the baffle. Measure all three.
03Does it come in 8 ohm?
This speaker line is made in 8 and 15 ohm. This listing is the 15 ohm version.
04How much does it weigh?
7.9 lbs (3.6 kg) for the speaker itself.
