I looked at the Celestion speakers you suggested. Price is good but wattage is very low and these Daytons have a lot more wattage and frequency response. So for only $11 difference, wouldn't they be the better deal and they come with a 5 year warranty to boot?

After re-reading that thread, the amp I have is a 200 energizer and not a 100. I'm guessing that the 595 cabinets were made for the 100 energizer as well. Wouldn't I be better off going with higher wattage speakers since they will be ran thru a bigger amp?

Again primary purpose for this system will be monitors and practice PA.

So why did Kustom us 16 ohm speakers wired in series/parallel in these cabinets? At best, with two cabinets the total load on the amp would have been 8 ohms. Only about 65 watts would have been usable......correct? Would have made more sense to have used 8 ohm speakers and getting the load down to 4 with 2 cabinets and getting the most wattage. Just wondering what the reasoning behind this was.
