4 Ohm 1X10?

My Eden ex110 is 300 watts with 4 ohms impedence if I remember correctly.

That being said and not to get folks started up again but when you are talking about something that sounds as simple as "watts" it is really much more complicated that it seems.

Peak, RMS THD. headroom etc etc.

That being said this speaker with the matching WTX 264 amp is enough for a gig with a controlled civilzed drummer.

Dave Mattacks yes. Keith Moon, no.
 
Even with 6-7mm xmax you're still gonna be limited to 100-150 watts per driver depending on the box.

+1 to CL 400 Peavey.....pointless.

Unless that particular driver gives you some breakup you like, or you have a small tube amp with no 8ohm tap.
 
Heres a 10" with 7.25 mm xmax, 500 WATTS AES & 1,000 WATTS PROGRAM POWER

Another 10" with 6mm xmax 400 watts AES

Check out the frequency responses on those. not looking too hot as full range drivers.

+1

Any 10" driver that's going to handle that much power in the lows is going to sacrifice something, sensitivity or frequency response etc.
 
A case in point - Aguilar SL112:
Power Handling: 250 watts RMS, 500 watts peak
Sensitivity: 99.9 dB 1W 1M
Max SPL: 120db

A quick calculation shows that 100W should give you this cab's max SPL. Any more power will give no more volume - only more heat.
