Steven,
I use 12" Weber Californias in a couple of my cabinets. They sound
great when they're cranked, I hate them quiet. I usually use them when
I play outside gigs just because I can play them really loud. They're
made to be clean when pushed. I don't think they'd do the trick for a
bedroom amp. In my bedroom amp ('64 deluxe) I use Weber's version of a
Jensen C12N.
