I have an old Kustom amp cab that has 2 Jensen C12n's.(16 ohms ea wired for 8 ohms approx.)
I was thinking of going with a SCX2 HD to drive these guys- anybody have any ideas- think it'll work?
These speakers sound great (I think) being pushed by my HRD and Peavey Blues Classic (50)
But I'm not sure that the 15 watts that the SCX2 is going to do too much on these old (and I am assuming inefficient) speakers.
Any opinions?
Thankx

Actually I would think they will sound great, you will be able to push the output stage enough to get some nice tube saturation. My only "complaint" with my SCx2 combo is that it gets so loud on the clean channel before I get any real "tube tone".

But I've learned to live with it :lol:

Yep, you should be fine. I'd go with a different output tranxfmr, if it were me....but you should be ok.
