Jensen buffs... help on P15Q?

Does anyone know the specs on these? Like 40w? Or more like 15w? :lol:

I've seen that they're 8 ohms, but can't get the output rating on 'em, and they're not listed anywhere.

Hmm, they're around to be had though, for $35-160, depending on who's selling.

Would this be cool in my jackleg Plexi/Deluxe combo? I can grab one local, a '57 for like $35.
I know it'd be a crapshoot on the solidness of it, but...

I did find this video though, not bad. :scratch: anyone try one? Thanks!

Oooops, found Weber, duh.

15A125, For tweed Pro, replaces Chicago Jensen P15Q
15", 11oz AlNiCo magnet, 20 or 30 watts, 1-1/4" voice coil, smooth cone.
Louder than 15R, more texture, more highs and lows, compresses at higher volumes.

:thumbsup:

Guess I'll really want to find out if this ole Jensen can handle a 20w amp!

Alright, from the Fender Amp Field Guide, (GREAT site), the Tweed Pros from that era were either 18-25w for the earlier TV Front, or 35-40w for the Narrow Panel, and 40w from there on.

I know my circuitry isn't the same, but it's a Deluxe/Plexi hybrid.
Dude in the vid had a Nighttrain and it didn't come off too bad.

Curiosity might get this cat... I might have to try it.
