On the Unofficial Hot Rod Deluxe Owners site you can find some sound clips of these speakers. I was not too impressed with the Jensen speakers, but that is me, listen for yourself and see what you think.

Just my 2 cents, but if you really want a sweet speaker, pick up a 2 X 12 extension cab with Celestion Vintage 30's. This is an awesome speaker, famous.

I have recommended Avatar many times. But they do make great cabs for a great price. Plus you can get the black tolex with silver grille to match your amp perfect.

Avatar Speaker Cabs

Check out the G212H DUAL VINTAGE 30. Get this cab at 8 ohms and you can run it with your Texas Special, or use the extension cab alone.]]> Live Sound Wes Inman https://guitarnoise.forum/live-sound/jensen-c12n-vs-p12n-whats-the-big-difference/#post-180492 https://guitarnoise.forum/live-sound/jensen-c12n-vs-p12n-whats-the-big-difference/#post-179897 Mon, 29 May 2006 20:31:42 +0000 Live Sound corbind https://guitarnoise.forum/live-sound/jensen-c12n-vs-p12n-whats-the-big-difference/#post-179897 https://guitarnoise.forum/live-sound/jensen-c12n-vs-p12n-whats-the-big-difference/#post-179866 Mon, 29 May 2006 18:08:51 +0000 Live Sound 97reb https://guitarnoise.forum/live-sound/jensen-c12n-vs-p12n-whats-the-big-difference/#post-179866 https://guitarnoise.forum/live-sound/jensen-c12n-vs-p12n-whats-the-big-difference/#post-179820 Mon, 29 May 2006 11:56:14 +0000

The site says there was a Brown tolex version with a Jensen C12N (ceramic magnet) while my amp (Lacquered Tweed Hot Rod) has a Jensen P12N (alnico magnet).

What's the difference? How do they sound different than one another. Now, to complicate things even more, in my black HRD it has a Weber Texas Special. Would that be as "good" as the other two?

Since I recently joined another band I just bought another full set of tubes for my black amp and am thinking of maybe getting another "better" speaker for it. After it's biased and all, that is.]]> Live Sound corbind https://guitarnoise.forum/live-sound/jensen-c12n-vs-p12n-whats-the-big-difference/#post-17651
