CelestionVintage 30 60W, 12" Guitar Speaker 8 Ohm
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
60W ceramic 12-inch guitar speaker. The standard replacement driver for guitar cabs and combos, in the 8 ohm version.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Loading a 2x12 or 4x12 cab from scratch
- Replacing a blown or tired stock combo speaker
- Amps up to 60W per speaker
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Bass guitar, keyboards or PA use
- Cabs needing a lighter driver in a four-speaker load
- Anyone wanting alnico rather than ceramic
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
50oz ceramic magnet
Ceramic magnet, heavier structure than alnico but cheaper. This is why the price sits well under the Gold.
Detail 03
100dB sensitivity
Loud per watt. Mixing it in a cab with a 96dB speaker will make the pair sound uneven.
Detail 04
5.3 inch overall depth
Shallow enough for most combos. Still measure, since baffle-to-back clearance varies more than cab width does.
Detail 05
10.4 lb weight
Heaviest of the three. Four of these add roughly 42 lb to a cab before the cab itself.
Detail 06
8 ohm nominal impedance
Two in series make 16 ohms, two in parallel make 4. Plan the wiring around your amp's output tap.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Speaker only. No hardware, gasket, wire or connectors in the box.
- 02Requires an 11.1 inch cutout and four slots on an 11.7 inch circle.
- 03Check your amp's minimum impedance before wiring multiples in parallel.
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01How many watts can a 4x12 of these handle?
240W total, since each speaker is rated 60W and the load splits evenly across four drivers in a standard cab.
02Will it fit a 1x12 combo?
Usually. Depth is 5.3 inches and the cutout is 11.1 inches, which suits most combo baffles. Measure your rear clearance to be sure.
03Is this the 8 ohm or 16 ohm version?
8 ohm, with 7.3 ohms DC resistance. A 16 ohm variant exists and is a separate item.
04Can I use it for bass?
No. It is a guitar speaker with a 75Hz to 5kHz range, so the low fundamentals of a bass fall below what it reproduces.
