I may be in need of some speakers. This would be for the 2-15+horn cab... One for sure will be the horn driver. Can someone tell me what I need to start looking for. I see them on ebay for reasonable to outrageous. I have no idea which one was originally in it. I do like the look of the silver dust caps.
Reason for not knowing what is in the cab is that I do not own it yet, and have no idea what is in it. The 15" that are in it do not have the silver dust caps in the center. I am not sure if that model always had those kind in it or not. There is no sound coming from the horn at all, so I am assuming it is not in there. The cast housing is there. A friend said that the horn driver would just screw into the back of the housing. So that sounds easy...

Which horn set up do you have, the early one with the siren horn?
If so they use a 16 ohm 1 3/8" screw on driver, it could be blown, or sometimes the inline 50 volt 4 uf crossover cap blows up.
If you need a new driver the parts express / Goldwood 270-188 driver is a 16 ohm 100 watt model that cost 43 bucks.
If your 15 inchers are good and you must have aluminum dust covers you may be able to add them dependant on the voice coil diameter the drivers have.
It would seem that in 1969 or so the standard 15s in these cabinets ( non Bass drivers ) started to come with the aluminum covers.
If those two 15s you have are shot then you could get them re-coned with the aluminum domes.
If you use this as a standalone cabinet I would get a real passive crossover for it and not just a the cheap in line cap like stock!

The speakers in question since they have aluminum dust caps could be KEI, JBL or CTS....mine is KEI. He is not talking about a siren, but the H 811 B horn that was used in the PA and guitar cabinets.
Since you are using this for guitar (horn) you will not find any new speakers with aluminum dust caps already on them. Look for another 2-15 cabinet with the dust caps or look online for D-130 not D-140 speakers. KEI are pretty scarce except for the 12's. Also watch for JBL PA cabinets that you can rob the speakers from. Make sure you get 8 ohm speakers and not 16.

Well my idea was to remove the speakers from the K-200, which hopefully they are JBL's and put them into the empty black K-250 cab. That would give me 2 good speakers. All I would need to do then would be to find a horn driver...I will know tomorrow what I have to work with and report back. But now I understand what you are saying about in parallel. I really need 8 ohm speakers to be correct for the K-250 cab
