Question:
Hey, I'm thinking of getting some new speakers for my Fender Power Chorus. But I don't know what it's power output and impedance is. I got it used so I don't have the manual, and it's not on the amp. The fender website doesn't have it either, unless you wanna buy it. So does anyone know what it is?
Answer:
I believe, but I'm not 100% sure, that the Power Chorus is similar to the Ultimate Chorus, which was 2x65W stereo...If I'm right, the replacement speakers should be able to handle at least 65W, probably more like 80-100W to be on the safe side.
As far as impedance goes, I really have no idea. sometimes on the inside of the cabinet (in the open space) Fender would include a speaker plug chart or some labels where the speaker wires connected to the amp unit itself. Does yours not have this at all?
Answer:
Nope, no chart or labels.

All it says on the speakers is Fender Special Design
Answer:
Have you tried emailing their customer support?
Answer:
hmm...I wonder if there's a part number on the speakers anywhere. If there was, it would be on the back label, but actually on the chassis itself (probably on the metal part up around the front part of the cone).
Anyway, as I've mentioned in threads about the Power Chorus before. I believe it's very similar in overall design to the Ultimate Chorus (both are 2x65W amps designed specifically for stereo chorus). The Ultimate Chorus uses a pair of Fender Special Design 12" speakers with 8ohm impedance.

It's probably the same. I think the Power Chorus is basically the prototype for the Ultimate Chorus
Answer:
Also look if anything is printed on the actual circuit board or chassis.
Answer:
I just got an email back from fender. It's 75 watts per speaker at 8 ohms.
