Review on High-Quality Jensen 8-Inch Green Speaker (C8R8): Elevate Your Audio Experience by Shane Miller

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Attn Bugera V5 owners

Before you buy have a look at the spade connectors on your stock Turbosound speaker. On mine the positive connection was a normal full size spade but on the negative it was a smaller spade. This Jensen comes with two standard size "large" spade connections so it won't connect right out of the box, which leaves you with a couple of options. buy some spade and modify the existing cable or purchase an aftermarket cable. Fender sells a cable that's exactly what you need and is just long enough to work (search: Fender replacement internal speaker cable).For my ear this speaker is exactly what the Bugera needed. The stock Turbosound speaker has been described to me as "dark", but I think a more accurate way to describe it is "flat." Being on the warm end of the spectrum is fine but compared to this Jensen, even right out of the box and not yet broken in, it feels kinda mushy.Other reviewers have stated that the Jensen is really bright, and that's true if you keep the tone knobs dimed and you're playing something like a Jazzmaster (what I have) or a Strat. But unlike the stock speaker that needed the tone cranked up with littler room for adjustment, the Jensen can be pulled back a lot. The tone knob set at noon on both the guitar and the amp still sounds nice and clear but it leaves you with the option to break out the ice picks if you like. If you're willing to work the tone knobs this is a great speaker.

Pros
  • With its lightweight design, the Jensen C8R8 Speaker can be easily transported and set up in virtually any location
Cons
  • The speaker may require additional maintenance
