I have this homemade 2x12 I bought some years back. Decided to crack it open to see what I was working with a noticed the speakers are Canadian made. Unfortunately that's all it says.
The only information I can get from them is "DGD6", "Made In Canada" and I think it says "GL1250".

Can anyone help me identify these?

Garnet Marsland, early to mid 70's

D6 = April 76
GL1250 = Garnet Lead 12 inch 50 watts

D6 = April 76
GL1250 = Garnet Lead 12 inch 50 watts

Interesting. I have been trying to figure those codes out. My 1978 Session Man has GV1260. I had the 12” and 60 watt figures correct. I thought the G stood for guitar, and no clue for the V.

DGK8 is the other code. I was pretty sure the 8 was for 1978. So K might be for November? DG, I am not sure of.

I am sure of one thing, those speakers can make just about any amp sound bad. At least to my ears. Yes, they work, but they don’t work for me.

would it be V for voice?

That was my guess after seeing “L” meant lead. I also thought the “G” was for guitar, and today I learned that it means Garnet.

V is for Voice...

DG, I am not sure of.

Marsland Code

I have a DWK4 RSC/Jensen. Would that be 64 or 74?

Marsland Code

I owe you Frenchy. Recently bought an old Traynor 4x12 full of mismatched speakers. Turns out one is a Cambridge, thanks to your post

would it be V for voice?

Yes. "Vocal." A PA speaker that was often used (probably for convenience).

The V speaker is OK at best. Replace with the guitar speaker of your choice asap.
