[HAM] What is the power handling rating of each of the 15 inchand 12 inch speakers in the PR-40 tone cabinet ?

[Keith H Clark]

Actually the last PR-40's had a 50 watt rating.

Remember too, the 40 watt rating of a PR-40 is additive.  By that I mean
that it's roughly 20 watts bass into 2 15" speakers, 10 watts treble into
one 12" speaker, and 10 watts reverb (which could be set to be "dry") into
the other 12" speaker.

So, in modern terms it's bi-amped: 20 watts bass + 2 x 10 watts treble.

Cheers!
