It's all magnet! I've seen those before in hi-fi speaker cabs, but never in a guitar amp.
A schematic, layout, and hi-rez pics are very useful for troubleshooting your amp. Don't wait to be asked. JUST DO IT!

I've read of people using them in champs and liking them
It sounds nice on guitar, like a D130 except..smaller
JBL lists them as being 8 inch versions of the D130
http://www.lansingheritage.org/images/jbl/catalogs/1967/full-range.jpg
or
http://www.lansingheritage.org/images/jbl/catalogs/1969-home/page22.jpg
or here
http://www.hifilit.com/hifilit/JBL/1956-2.jpg
which lists them at 12 watts (though JBl used conservative and often changing power ratings )


some perspective with a D130

That might have been killer in my mini JCM 800 combo if it was a higher wattage.
Some of the most amazing music in history was made with equipment that's not as good as what you own right now.
