16 ohm
Four in parallel give a 4-ohm cab; two in series-parallel give 16. This is the common 4x12 building block.

CelestionSeventy 80 80W, 12" Guitar Speaker 16 Ohm
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
80-watt 12-inch guitar speaker in 16 ohm. A budget replacement driver for combos and cabs, or for filling an empty 2x12 or 4x12.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Swapping out a blown 12-inch driver in a guitar combo
- Loading an empty cab without spending much per speaker
- Practice and rehearsal rigs where cost matters most
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Amps rated well above 80 watts on a single driver
- PA, bass, or full-range use
- Anyone needing a specific ohm value other than 16
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
80 watts
Power handling per speaker. A 100-watt head into one of these is pushing it; across four it is comfortable.
Detail 03
12 inch
The standard guitar speaker size, so it drops into most combos and cabs without modifying the baffle.
Detail 04
Guitar speaker, not full-range
Deliberately limited bandwidth. It rolls off the extreme highs that would make a distorted amp sound harsh.
Detail 05
Price per driver
Cheap enough that loading a full 4x12 stays reasonable, which is the main reason to pick it.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Bare driver only — no cabinet, hardware, wire, or connectors included
- 02Check your amp's ohm rating and how the existing cab is wired before swapping
- 03Mixing this with a different-impedance speaker in one cab changes the total load
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Will this work with my 8-ohm amp?
One of these alone presents 16 ohms. Two in parallel give 8 ohms. Wire to match what your amp output is rated for.
02Is 80 watts enough for my head?
For a single-speaker cab, keep the amp at or under 80 watts. A four-speaker 16-ohm cab wired properly handles far more in total.
03Can I use it for bass or vocals?
No. It is built for electric guitar frequencies. Bass and PA use ask for excursion and bandwidth this driver is not designed to give.
04Does it fit a standard 4x12?
It is a 12-inch guitar speaker, the standard size for those cabs. Confirm your baffle cutout and bolt spacing before ordering.
