Is it a 406 cab ?
These were used with the Acoustic 450 Head.
I liked them, heavy, but sound nice.

The 106 cab is considered a medium duty bass cab. The original speakers are from CTS, probably going about 100 watts each. Originally paired with the 140 head that generated about 120 watts if my memory serves me correctly. I have one and I'm pleased with it. While I'm not sure what power your heads produce, I've mated my cab with 300 watts and the 106 enjoyed it. Early Acoustics were quality made gear.
