The Jensen 'C' Series provides pristine vintage tone coupled with the cost and weight advantages of ceramic magnets. Originally developed in the 1960s to meet the ever increasing demands of the emerging pop music industry, the 'C' Series has remained influential ever since. 8/16 ohms.
Just installed 4 new Jensen C12Q's 16 ohm, in parallel, for a 4 ohm impedance, into my Crate slant back 412 (8 ohm) cabinet, that was infamously factory impedance mis-matched with the GT1200H 4 ohm head. The sound is 50x better. These speakers are really awesome for the price.
Over 35 yrs. of playing time, I had become quite tired of the "covered with a wet blanket" tone coming out of most modern mass produced speakers. I mostly play Blues with some Country & Classic rock now, and bought the JENSEN C12Q 35w "Vintage Series" ceramic magnet speaker to attempt to get the "wide open" sound that mid-late '60s Fender amps had from my recording amp. This speaker does this, and more....I play it through a "Botique" all tube head, and the lows are nice & tight, the mids actually SING, and the highs are beyond bright......"explosive" is the best description. My amp now sounds so much like a '66 Deluxe Twin, that I just can't believe it's not. I'm definitely buying more of these speakers soon, for my larger amps, because the quality (made in Italy NOT China) is top notch, and Guitar Centers "standard" shipping had it at my door in 4 days........GOOD JOB GC! Buy the Jensen "Vintage Ceramic" speakers, you'll never look back !
I dropped this speaker into an old Fender tube amp. The original Fender speaker was very heavy, so this cut several pounds off of the overall weight of the amp. I've only been playing through it for a couple of weeks, and it sounds better each time I play through it. I'm sure it will continue to sound better as it gets broken in. Good price too!
