I am considering replacing my Kustom K-250 15" speakers with JBLs
I originally thought that Vintage JBL D130 or D140 would be right route to go. But considering the reconing fees etc. I might be better off with newer JBLs.
Would you place D130 or D140? What ohms? considering the reconing fee
OR
Would you place newer JBLs? and which model and ohms?
Would you consider Altec 421s or Black Widows instead?
Any comments or suggestions would be of great help, and thanks for a great forum
Steven

Hi Steven,
Hopefully someone will step in with better information, but generally, the D130 was good for lead guitar and D140 for bass.
For the K250 you should get speakers that are 8 ohms each so the pair will load the amp at 4 ohms.
You should search on this website for speaker info - search for "Altec" or "Altec 421", etc.
Do you play lead or bass?
