If you are playing bass or guitar you will need differnt speakers, and they sould be 8 ohm models wired in parallel for a 4 ohm load to the amp which will let it output its full 100 watts.
Parts Express stocks a Selenium made bass driver part number 263-338 for 70 bucks that is a great sounding driver for the price and works well with that size 2-15 cabinet, you could also use this driver for guitar but if you want that true vintage sound of guitar useage, Antique Electronics has the Jensen model C15N at a price of 107 dollars each.

So Steven - The K200's are looking for a 4 ohm load? I had always thought that with all the 16 ohm speakers Kustom used the amp was an 8 ohm head. The k100's are an 8 ohm load?

The k200s are made for a 4 ohm load for peak wattage output, the cabs came wired for a 8 ohm load due to the option of buying the amps with two cabs which would have made a 4 ohm load.
Yes, the K100s and K150s want a 6 to 8 ohm load, you can run them at 4 ohms but they will run twice as hot so with a 4 ohm load they should really not be played at more than about half volume.
