Vintage cabinet? [message #17916] Tue, 18 December 2012 03:03   blanezx3 Messages: 4 Registered: December 2012 Junior Member Hi everyone! I've inherited a vintage Kustom 4-12L cabinet (the head was toast). From what I remember, everything in the cabinet is 100% original. I called Kustom and they said it's a 4 ohm cabinet, but I forgot to ask the following: What ohm and how many watts were the original speakers? I would open it up and check myself but the cabinet isn't here at the moment. Any information is helpful and thanks! Report message to a moderator

A 4 ohm impeadence cab would read less than 4 ohms, but more than 3. Wattage wise the cab should handle 120 watts of RMS power and a easy 180 peak. Report message to a moderator

I wasn't sure if the speakers were 16 or 4 ohm, or how they were wired (parallel, series-parallel). I plan on testing it tomorrow night at band practice, if possible. Thanks for the info!
