Greetings,
I recently opened my vintage Kustom 302 PA Cab to find out what speakers were inside. Besides the 2 12" Jensen C12Ns, there are 3 8" 'Kustom' speakers. Anyway of finding out the watts rating on these? Are they actual Kustom make or another brand?
Any info would be greatly appreciated

Hello.
Kustom never made any of its drivers.
If they are labled Kustom I would guess that they where made by the then newly formed Eminence corp or CTS, and I would say that at best those 8 inchers where good for no more than 20 watts, heck those C12Ns where rated at 40 and I think that was optomistic!
If I had 5 cents for every 85 watt Fender Twin reverb that I have seen with blown C12Ns I would be semi rich!

Howdy,I'm sort in the same boat as beakmon,as I have a pair of those 302 PA cabinets (no amp). Sounds like the Exact layout I have. My problem is I'm trying to find a replacement for 1 of the 8" speakers.(Thats mainly how I woulnd up here)The darn thing is 16 ohm and I would love to go OEM,but if need be I will substitute.Any help on finding a speaker would be greatly appreciated.Thanks,Greg
