Detail 01
25W power rating
Low by modern standards on purpose. The cone compresses and breaks up before a high-power driver would, at much lower volume.

Sale
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A 25W 12-inch guitar speaker in the 16-ohm version. For players who want speaker breakup and compression at lower volume in a low-wattage amp.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Low-wattage combos where the speaker distorting is part of the tone
- 16-ohm cabs, or wiring four in series-parallel for a 16-ohm 4x12
- Taming a bright amp that needs midrange thickened up
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Amps over about 30 watts, which can exceed 25W handling
- Players wanting clean headroom at gig volume
- Anyone whose amp or cab is wired 8 ohm
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
16 ohm nominal impedance
Must match your amp's output tap. Four of these in a series-parallel 4x12 also yields a 16-ohm cab.
Detail 03
12 inch diameter
Standard guitar speaker size. Drops into most 1x12, 2x12 and 4x12 baffles cut for a 12.
Detail 04
Guitar speaker, not full range
Voiced with a limited top end for electric guitar. Not intended for bass, keyboards, acoustic amps or PA duty.
Detail 05
Sold as a single speaker
A 2x12 or 4x12 needs two or four. Mixing with a different model changes the cab's overall impedance math.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Speaker only. No hardware, wire, gasket or connectors included.
- 02Check your amp's rated output — 25W handling is easy to exceed.
- 03Confirm your cab or amp is 16 ohm, not 8 or 15.
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Will a 25 watt speaker blow with my amp?
It can if the amp exceeds 25 watts, especially driven hard. Keep it to amps at or below 25 watts, or use multiple speakers to divide the load.
02What is the difference between the 8 and 16 ohm version?
Only impedance. Pick the one that matches your amp's speaker output, or the value your multi-speaker cab wiring needs.
03Can I use it for bass?
No. It is voiced for electric guitar and rated at 25 watts, so bass frequencies at volume risk damaging the cone.
04How many do I need for a 4x12?
Four. Wiring four 16-ohm speakers in series-parallel gives a 16-ohm cabinet.
