I have an old Peavey LTD 400 I bought "used", probably 20 years ago. The speaker had been changed out when I aquired it. It is a 15" Orange cast basket with a Hugemongus Black magnet. It is one HEAVY sucker! The sticker says: "FENDER"
"Profesional Series Loud Speakers"
"P.S.15" "8 ohm" "Cerwin Vega" It has always sounded Great for me, I just always wondered what it might have come out of?Anyone have any idea?

I know it came out of some kind of "FENDER" Amp. 
I just don't know what kind or model.

Being a 15", I would guess it came out of a bass amp. I have a 1972 Fender Twin with two PS-12's in it. In the late 60's, Fender offered optional speakers for their amps. At that time they were using Guass speakers. Somewhere in the early 70's they switched to Cerwin-Vegas.

| I think they used those in Silverface Vibrosonics too. |

The Black Widow 1501-4 "shallow basket" speaker is available and is specifically voiced for steel guitar and fiddle use. The item number is #00027010 and can be purchased through your Peavey dealer. Here is our dealer locator link from the Peavey website.

| I'd go with the 1501SB and put that puppy on Ebay! It is most likely out of a Vibrosonic! You only getting about 130 watts RMS in an 8 ohm load. You gain more headroom (200 watts) and get a great sound with the 1501SB. I have put several in old Session 400s that I have restored, they sound awesome! |
