Kustom75, you can tell if they are the CTS bass drivers by just looking at the voice coil cover in the center of each speaker.
The CTS drives will have a round circle in the middle of each voice coil cover with a thin black fiber glass mesh in it, this is a heat vent. If they are original jensen drivers that have not been reconed, they will not have this feature.
Either way a 3-12, or 3-15 cabinet will read about 5.3 ohms with a meter as it was loaded with 3 16 ohm drivers from Kustom.
The jensens can be used for bass, as they did come in some small 25 watt tube bass amps in the late 50s and mid 60s, but they blow rather easy in that use. If you are just recording they should hold up ok, but I do not know that I would chance it!
