Wouldn't you know it I buy my first kustom amp on Monday and today I find a deal on a whole setup. same head as I bought but with a 3 x 15 cabinet also for a killer deal. just on quick question. It has CTS speakers listed on jack plate and it is matched with the k200b-1 head. so the speakers should be the bass ones right? oh did I mention this whole setup comes with original covers also. I guess I'm well on my way to being addicted. Buying two customs in one week hahaha

Welcome to the site. Kustoms are addicting. The advice I always give, is you really need to remove the back panel so see for sure if the cab still has it's original CTS speakers. It's always good to see if any weird objects have landed in the cab thru the port holes.

What color are your kustoms? If you ever need more Kustoms, I'm in Michigan and have a few I'm letting go of.

If the center voice coil cover dome on each speaker has a round spot on its top filled in with a flat gray colored felt pad then they are the original CTS Bass speakers.

Yes I'm in Cleveland . Not to far. What colors do you have? I will use these for bass so I'm looking for bass setups. The one I'm getting is Black. k200b 1 with 3x15. All speakers have black center caps and jackplate says CTS and has original dust covers for both head and cabinet. really nice shape almost look new. Has a tear on bottom but I guess that happens. you cant see it . I'm probably gonna get whole setup for under 400.

The 3-15 cabs have a lot of nice lower mids to them , but if you play a 5 string Bass you will find the the 2-15" cabinets carry the low B string better as the have close to the needed size cab for 2-15", the 3-15" cab is way small on the needed internal volume!
The 3-15" work great with1-15" or 1-18" sub and a seperate power amp to drive it!

Yea I will be tuned to C for the purposes of this setup with the 3×15. I also use a Blower box effect pedal. Made by idiot box in Austin. It adds a great tone to the amp and a boost.
