Hi I own a new SS 22 with the Fender Special Design by Eminence speaker. It is listed as a Lightning Bolt part number 0079527000. I replaced it with a Jensen P12Q Alnico. It sounds amazing but it a little quiter in volume. This new speaker changed this amp by leaps and bounds. I am trying to find the specs on the Fender speaker. I can not find anything on it at all. I was wondering if it would be better suited to the Jensen P12N instead of the Q. The N is about 98 db while the Q is 95 db. Just wanted to know before I buy a new speaker. I had the Q laying around so it didnt cost me anything. But WOW it really made a difference.

Thanks

Geo

Modern Eminence ceramics (including the OEM Fender speakers) are typically more efficient than most alnico types, both vintage and re-issues. If the P12Q has the tone you prefer, you'll have to accept that slight loss in volume. The amp has plenty of power though -- it shouldn't pose a problem. Just turn the volume knob up another notch.

As for the specs on OEM speakers, that's anybody's guess. I'd surmise that the "lightning bolt" series made for Fender is a close match to Eminence's current "Red, White & Blues" model.
