Hey! I'm looking to know what the wattage is of a Traynor 2x15 from the 70s. The model is G2-150. Can't find much online but I'm sure someone here will know! Original speakers are inside.

If they are the original Marslands, then I wouldn't be comfortable running more than 50 watts into them. The cab typically was matched to a YBA1 (bassmaster) that only put out 45 watts...
I have a 2x15 Traynor cab from the 70's sitting in my basement. The only reason I still have it is because it matches the original head and I'd like to keep them as a pair.

Is it one of these (I thought maybe G2 stood for "Group 2")?
The 2x15 cab that matches the YBA-1 is called the YT15, is sealed, and has different cosmetics. It's also usually 16 ohms so two cabs could be used.

Yes, it's exactly that setup (Group Two). Head, cab, everything, except in blue.Is it one of these (I thought maybe G2 stood for "Group 2")?

That's not the cab I thought you were referring to! I think you are looking in the range of around 150 watts for those two drivers. The cab I was thinking about is more likely a late 60's early 70's cab.

Ah! I am also looking at one other cab, which says 'Group One - 215' I believe on it with green trim. However, it has 400w EV Proline speakers put into it.
Also, basic question, if a 215 has two 400w 8 ohm speakers, does that make it a 400w 4 ohm cab or 800?
It seems these are an obscure line of amps; very hard to find any concrete info on them. I feel like Group One are guitar speakers though, because the only Group one amp I ever saw was a 212 cab with a head featuring reverb and tremolo controls (or something like that). My Google image searching also reveals the existence of a yellow Group 3, so the mystery deepens.
Here's a very short thread about the Group 2 amps. As usual, it goes off the track pretty quickly, and everyone starts talking about Monoblocks.
