The first question that needs to asked is if the speaker cabinet is for bass, or guitar,( a give away for a bass cabinet would be a sloted port on the face) as a Eminence bass driver will handle a good amount more watage than there average guitar driver.
I take a educated guess that is they where guitar drivers the least wattage that they would handle/be rated at would be 30 watts RMS,but no more than 50 watts.

Is the speaker cabinet a Kustom cab? If the speaker itself is from 1989 it may be a replacement to the cab. A 2x10 cabinet would have been from the PA series in the last literture I have and would be a late 70's early 80's. I don't know if Kustom was even in business 1989.
If you can give us a description of the cab would be a great help.

Its not a Kustom cab-I just amp it w/ a PA V. Anyway I contacted Eminence and he said theyre both OEM midbass/PA rated 150 rms. He gave me the T/S numbers and said they come closest to the specs of Eminence model Beta-10A. Theyre pretty loud but dont sound real good for guitar. Gonna replace at least 1 w/ one geared for HF.
