I used a Weber VST California 12 ceramic in my Hot Rod Deluxe and really loved
it. I sold
the amp but kept the speaker, so I am dropping two California 12s into my
vintage '73
Aims Dual 12. These high-wattage speakers are clean, punchy, and make for really
good
surf. Definitely a good substitute for the JBL D120F, and I'd bet a fine
substitute for the
D130F too. They get better cranked.
Ted makes a lot of vintage-style speakers in standard sizes, any standard ohm,
and with
AlNiCo, Ceramic, or Ferrous Alloy magnets. He has some low-watt vintage style
speakers
based on the popular tweed speaker types as well as his more high-powered modern
speakers.
His prices are good, and he will answer your questions about what speakers you
should
use with a timely e-mail or phone call.
I really like Weber as a company, and I think their products are great.
