Welcome to the site. The Jensen cabs used P15L 16 ohm speakers originally wired in parallel for an 8 ohm load to the K200 amp head. Kustom did this so adding a second 2x15" 8 ohm cab would present a 4 ohm total load to the amp head which would produce 100 watts RMS.

As far as removing the back of the cabinet, the foam gasket over the years turns to a black tar like goo. I removed the speaker jack nut, and you can place a 2x2 piece of wood or bass ball bat through the port holes and hammer the wood or bat to break loose the back panel. One thing to check since you have to different brands of speakers in the cab, is to check to insure both speaker cones move in the same direction to be in phase. Small flashlight battery across the terminals will show the cone movement.

Quick question, are you also part of the Gibson les paul owners page on FB? I just saw a post very similar to yours. The amp I saw has replacement grill cloth.
