WTH Speaker is this?!

[SrDeMaFp]

I just opened up a previously bought (used) 4x12 guitar cabinet and there were 2 of these odd-looking, VERY light weight "Legend" speakers in there. I've never seen anything quite like them before. Any clues as to the model and/or ohmage?

Looks like the 30-35 watt version of the famous Eminence Blue Frame AlNiCo.
Was it the 128 or 158.?
At any rate, they are a pretty nice speaker.
They work great in a 2x12 for a 15-25 watt amp.

that's really interesting that they're in a 412 cab...the only current Eminence Legend speaker that matches that, visually, is a 10" speaker...the 1028K

see here: http://www.eminence.com/speakers/speaker-detail/?model=Legend_1028K

Thanks guys! Apparently they're the (discontinued) Eminence LEGEND 1228K speakers rated @ 35W. No wonder why they sounded like complete s#%t!

What amp are you using.?
Those are fairly sought after speakers.

I'm playing high-gain metal with a Bugera 333 (120W) so, as you can imagine it was a bit of a strange combo...
