I would put 12" speaker in the cab.   Weber 12A0100 Alnico breaks up early...

I asked Ted Weber himself (see Below)

Can you please recommend, for a painstakingly precise copy of a 1965 Fender Princeton Reverb, what I should use to upgrade to a 12 inch speaker?

I ordered one last week--still waiting for it though
