Hi, I've got a K200 Frankenstein head and matching 2x15 slant cabinet. Unfortunately, it came loaded with some kind of cheap OEM Eminence PA drivers and the input cup is not original, so I'm not sure what it came with. I want to replace them with something that is pretty close to the originals, and sounds ok with bass. A lot of the older Eminence literature on the Legend 151 says "For all high power bass applications, including bass guitar." Would these be pretty close to the original spec speakers for this cab?

The Eminence Delta 15A( PARTS EXPRESS #290-418) is as close as you will get to the orignal CTS bass driver that Kustom used.
This speaker is a good bit louder and puncher due to its 100 db SPL rating and being rated at 400 watts you could plug them into a wall outlet and still not blow them out.
If your pockets are deep and you are more in the JBL D140 crowd, than Weber speakers has a neomag version, but they are 183 bucks each!

Sorry, since you have a 2-15 cab I though it was being used for bass.
For full range guitar, yea the Lengend, or more original would be a Jensen C15N.

Thanks. It's just what came in the set. I was also considering some old Peavey Black Widows with aluminum dust caps for the JBL look. They're supposed to work well for bass and guitar.

You should note that some BW 15s only go up 3.5 to 4khz and will sound quite dull for guitar sounds.
