412L Drivers

Does anyone know who made the speakers Sunn used in the 412L? JBL, maybe?

Despite rumors to the contrary, the search function still works. Or you could just look at the most recent threads on page 1 of Q & A.

...yeah, well, it seems like they might either be JBL speakers or Jensens, then? I think my 412L dates from around 1979/80, so I was just wondering what the best replacement cones might be if things ever needed changing. I've heard good things about Eminence Wizards, although a tech at Eminence warned me off using these speakers in any enclosure taking a signal from a bass amp. (I realise the 412L was supposed to be a guitar enclosure but it gives me a really nice four-string tone...a particularly sweet bottom-end response when coupled with my Coliseum Bass amplifier.)
