Hi folks, im new to the forum, I recently bought a Kustom 150 head and cabinet, the output is a strange arrangement with a four prong xlr looking female where the usual tremolo/reverb jack is. .and then the output says 6ohm to 8 ohms, but in the cabinet there are two original KEI 10 ohm speakers. . is this correct for this amp? thank you

Ok, obviously some of the paint had worn off, they are 16 ohm speakers, can anyone tell me if A.) this the correct configuration for this amp, and B. does anyone know what the deal is with the four prong female to the left of the center input jack on the amp? Ive never seen this, is it factory?

Is this a metal face K 150, or a plexiglass face?

My guess would be a metalfront, I don't think that there were any 150 plexi heads were there?

The xlr jack would be the foot switch jack.

Bill the SC 150 series amps are plexiglass face and this is when they started adding the choke in the power supplies like the metal face amps carried on with.

Yeah, 150 SC. Small Combo, not a head and cabinet.
