I need some speaker ID/confirmation help, please.

I recently decided to take the backs of the 5 2x15 cabs I've acquired, to see what's really in there. Some I knew about, and some were surprises. Images and descriptions follow.

Do these numbers seem familiar?

No labels on these two, but the second image shows a number:

Again, only these numbers remain on this one:

One cab has these JBLs. Replacements for 130s?

Finally, this old beat-up cab has these equally beat-up speakers:

Suggestions or comments greatly appreciated. The goal is to have at least some of these equipped with JBL D-130F or equivalent for the Creedence sound.

Thanks.

Creedence + Kustom: a great combination.

All square magnet speakers are CTS, you can tell this by the 137 prefix. The round magnet speakers two look like Jensens and the newer round magnet I have no Idea and the one is obviously a JBL. I don't see any D-130-f's I happen to have a cab with a pair of them in it though. You will need 16ohm pairs to get 8ohm loads from a single cab as well.

The first picture is speaker code 67 which is Eminence. The 137 code is CTS and the cab with matching CTS are Kustom part number 038 0004 00 are dated the 24 week of 1969 (6924) The round magnet that is welded to the frame is a Jensen P15L and would be original to the cabinet. It's hard to tell what the impedence is on the CTS speaker with the logo, and the two round magnet speakers that second picture shows, but KustomBart is right, Kustom used 16 ohm speakers in those cabinets wired in parallel for a total 8 ohm load per box.

Thanks for the help; some of that is as I suspected.

What's your opinion of the D130F? Better high end, etc? Is it worth tracking some down for the best attempt at Fogerty's sound? (I just got a K200A-4 head).

The Eminence drivers are out of a Fender bass cabinet.
The CTS driver with the red crown lable is a over the counter sold replacement.
The JBL 2220A is some what like E130 but with out the ribbed cone and Aluminum voice coil cover.
Un fortunatly these due to there different build spec`s can not be reconed into a D130 model.
Weber makes a nice clone of a D130 model that was made just for use in the Fender reissue Vibroverb model.

Thanks again to everyone for all their help. Given the prices of JBLs, maybe I'll check into the Weber option.
