Customer Reviews
4.5 out of 5 (39 ratings) Rate and Review This Product
zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us. "DEFINITELY NOT AWFUL! These speakers offer the best bang for the buck if you're on a budget. They didn't disappoint me and soun"
Sound: For the price I really can't complain. I used these to replace the 4 stock speakers thst came with my closed back Kustom G-412 half stack and the difference was amazing. I've been playing blues, classic rock and rock for 40 years and these speakers suit me just fine. I have 5 different heads ranging from 20 watts to 150 watts and they handle everything I throw at them within reason. Decent lows, nice mids and pronounced highs for soloing. I don't know how they would sound in a 1 or 2 speaker combo but in a 4x12 cab they're killer for the price... Feature: They're speakers. 'Nuff said. Ease of Use: I have no problem getting "My Tone" from these speakers. Quality: They look well made to me. Everybody's bashing China these days but their stuff is getting better and better. Does anybody remember when made in japan was supposed to be a joke? How'd that work out for the bashers? Value: This is absolutely the best bang for the buck if you're looking for budget speakers for a 4x12 guitar cab hands down! Manufacturer Support: Didn't need to contact Celestion and hope I don't have to. The Wow Factor: It's just a practical addition. No cold sweats here! Overall: I'm hoping to get some decent mileage from these speakers. They look well made. I would definitely replace if stolen / buy again / recommend to friends.
Style of Music: Blues / Classic Rock / Rock

zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us. "Don't listen to the nay sayers, take it from a pro these are worth the try."
Sound: Listen up all, I play for a living and own every amp and speaker you can think of from 5 watts to 120 watts. These speakers rip, they have nice tight clear low end and very nice singing high end. They are built very well for and import speaker and well worth the cash. I have Rola Celestion G12/65's and they hold up against them well, I also have Celestion G12/70,s and G12 30's and they stack up well. Great for high gain 5150 or triple recto tones. Try em. Feature: Well made, and move air very well. Ease of Use: Muscular tones are easy to get, break up well when driven and stay clear at all DB levels. Quality: Well made............... Value: Best speaker for the money I ever tried.
Style of Music: Rock/Metal

1. We offer the most flexible payment plans in the biz

zZounds offers a number of different installment payment plans that make it affordable and convenient for you to get the gear you really want today, without racking up risky credit card debt.

Other stores offer house credit cards that require you to fill out an application and pass a credit check--and, if you qualify, leave you vulnerable to exorbitant interest charges once the initial promotional period ends. zZounds payment plans are easy to get and simple to use; plus we'll never charge you interest!

2. We guarantee the lowest price

If we don't already have the lowest price, just send us a link to any legitimate competitor's offer, and we'll beat their price as long as we're not losing money on the deal.

To submit a request for a lower price, click "Seen it for less?" on any product page. We answer most lowest price requests within two hours. For extra peace of mind, you also have 30 days after your purchase to find a lower price; if you do, we'll refund the difference.

5. Our customer service is consistently rated the best

zZounds customer service is consistently rated at or near the top on every major comparison shopping website--probably because we only hire experienced musicians with outstanding customer service skills to work in our call center, and they don't work on commission. To us, this is our most meaningful measure of success. zZounds has served over a million customers since 1996, and they're the only critics whose reviews really matter to us.
