Hello,
So i have 120w old bass amp, and i'm thinking of buying Celestion BL10-150 speaker and putting in into old 1x10 cabinet. How do you guys think, would this speaker be enough for me?  |

|  | Yeah, I've got the moves like Jagger. | | Join Date: Oct 2006 Location: G.R. MI | | | I have a 100W 1x10 amp. It's fine for practice at home, but useless onstage. I think you'll need more speakers than just a single 10. That's been my experience anyway.

As for a 75Hz Fs, that's typical of a guitar driver. |

A single ten will be suitable for bedroom practice and nothing more.
