Power handling ability of Jensen P-series? I just bought a P12R and a P15Q. I have   been playing a 65 Pro with a C12NA (at GC),   it gets plenty loud on what I presume is a   40 watt amp. I know the speakers get   progressively less heavy duty with the Q   and the R. I'm going to get a cabinet   built for 12" and one for 15", which can   be sealed or open. If I use an AB763 head, will   these speakers handle the 40 watts   (one speaker at a time only). If not   how much can they take? A Deluxe?     Thanks for any help.     Jim

Keith	I`ve been wondering the same thing, I have a bassman head and a 2-12 cabinet with 2 C12N Jensen speakers in it. The speakers are mint but their 31yr old and the bassman head has alot of power.

Paul Markwalter	According to the 1959 Walter Ashe electronics catalog;   P12-R.....6.8 oz. magnet,14 watts. Price $10.20.......Gone up a little haven't they?

Jim Kroger	Thanks much. That is similar to the   ratings for the WeberVST. Weber   P12R, P12Q, and P12N are 15, 20, and 25   I think. So maybe the other numbers   are close to correct too.   Do you have the specs for the P12N   and P15Q?     Jim

Paul Markwalter	In my old catalogs the 12" and 15" Jensens have about the same power rating. IE: P12-R same as   P15-R. The C12-N was used in the mid '60s Twins so they gotta be about 30-40 watts. Incidently, the C12-N is my fave spkr for Dlx. Revs.

Jim Kroger	Not the P12N? Why the C instead of the P?     Thanks,   Jim
