    I've had the cab for a couple of years and finally found the matching head. The cab is upgraded to a JBL K140 and is pristine. The head is in pristine shape as well with 65 watts RMS and 2 channel head with 4 or 8 ohm switch. A match made in heaven with sweet sweet sounds. Enjoy!

    Anyone ever have their child go to prison?
