in the guitarist world they are more popular than eg. eminence, but i´m not sure about the bassist world.

i think the G in G10S-50 means this was originally a guitar speaker, but probably with lower resonance, making it more soutable for use with a bass.
the S means "small magnet" (M = medium size, H = heavy)

If this happens take the back off and put some cloth between the post and the the back and also make sure you tighten the screws holding the back on real tight.
