Vintage Jensen Speaker

OLAF MELCHER · April 12th, 2008, 04:46 AM

Hi guys,

does anybody know the power rating of vintage Jensen speakers (alnico), from the late fiftees to the early sixties ? The speaker I do have in mind in particular is a P12P (which does not seem to be used in Fender amps) and P12N.

Best regards

Olaf

Olaf, somewhere I have that info sheet on those wattage ratings...but right now I can't remember where it is. IIRC, the 'N' was a 25-30 watt speaker and the 'Q' was a 18-20 watt speaker. The 'P' would be in between??? I'll try and find the info to either confirm or correct my memory.

I believe there's a chart at Angela's site of the various Jensen speakers that will provide the info you seek.

I have a couple of 1966 Jensen C10N's that are confirmed 8-ohm drivers. They were originally wired in series in an old Kalamazoo Bass 50 amp to provide a 16-ohm load to the 50-watt power section.

Hmmm....old P15N is listed at 20 watts in that data on the Angela site.
P12N is listed at 18.
The C10N's that Eugene has are probably 40-50 watt speakers.

Man those old original Jensen C10Ns sound great. I'd put them in a Vibrolux!
