I have a 2x12 Kustom cab that originally came with Jensen C12N speakers (thank you Steven) and currently has CTS speakers in them. I'm looking at replacing the CTS's with a pair of new Jensen C12N speakers and wanted to know if the original Jensens were rated at 16 ohms wired in parallel? The current CTS speakers that are in it are 16 ohms wired in parallel. I want to put it back into it's original condition. I don't currently have a head for it (a silver sparkle K 100, if anyone has one to sell!! ), but keep looking. I'm playing my K-200 head thru it in the mean time. Thanks for any info.

Since the K100 wants to see a 8 ohm load, two 16 ohms in parallel is what you want. Also while you are playing the K200 thru it, the 8 ohm setting will keep it from putting out is full 100 watts RMS which could pop those CTS drivers.
The new Jensen C12N models and the whole new Jensen line do not use paper voice coil formers anymore, and as souch they will never sound just like a original model, but they do handle more power, I would break the new ones in for about 4 to 6 hours(out of the cabinet so the 60 cycle tone doesnt driver you nuts)this will give them a bit more punch at low to mid volume just as if they have been played for some years.
