Hello sorry if I'm posting this is the wrong place if so I apologize.
I'm seeking some knowledge about A pair of vintage Kustom speakers my father owned when I was a young boy, the closet thing I can find to them on the internet are the 2K+1HP Guitar Cabinets but I'm not sure if they are the right model? From what I remember ( I could be wrong ) the two cabinets had three fifteen inch speakers and it had a horn on top but I cant remember if the speakers were in the same cabinets or not? My father passed away when I was fifteen and my house burned down a few years after that so I lost any kind of information I would of had on them. Any kind of help is greatly appreciated.
Thank you

My 1971 Kustom pa catalog list the standard 15" speakers ( your K series) as being the same ones used for guitar and organ cabinets.
The upgraded optional speakers for both guitar , organ and PA where Altec and JBL D-130.
Both of these opinions where guitar speakers.
The horn drivers where all the same regardless of guitar or PA.
The K series of speakers came about as the Jensen brand was leaving the market and the Eminence brand was filling there shoe's circa 1969.
For many years even starting in the mid 60s Jensen could not even supply Fenders demand / need for speakers.
This is the era when you start to see Utah and Oxford brand speakers showing up in Fender amps, and as it turns out Eminence was located in the same city as was Kustom electronics!
