Default Recommend a Replacement Speaker for JBL Control 12SR?

Definitely not the original speaker! It was hanging on by only
two screws as well! Haha!

Only rated for 60 Watts continuous sine wave:

** That was a great guitar speaker in its day.

Alnico magnet, 2.5 inch VC, 103dB/watt sensitivity and rated for CONTINUOUS sine wave power of 60 watts rms !!

Be rated at 250 watts by most makers today.

Ought to be worth re-coning.


Indeed, but it doesn't belong in that cabinet. It is likely worth reconing
and putting in a guitar cabinet and then buying the proper replacement driver
for the Control 12. The original poster STILL hasn't priced out the cost of
the original driver. It won't be that much.

However, if someone has messed up the thing by putting a totally inappropriate
replacement in there, who knows what else is wrong with it?
