10" speaker recommendations?

[fearlessflier]

Any recommendations for a 10inch speaker? For a 210 closed-back guitar cab.

I currently play through an ART SLA2 into a homemade 112 (Celestion V30) open back cab of low quality, plus a 210 closed-back cab of good quality. The 10in speakers are no-name hi-fi speakers and quite trebly. The whole set up lacks bottom end, so I also use a RCF ART 310a powered speaker which has got miles of low end and balances the whole rig out. I'd like to use it for other things though.

AxeFx has made me think differently about speakers, so I don't necessarily want to restrict myself to guitar speakers. Looking for tight bottom end.

If you want guitar speakers, Eminence has some good 10's. I have a Dr Z 2x10 which sounds great - he designed them but Eminence makes them and I think they are real close to the Ragin Cajuns. Plus, they handle 75W each. It might be nice to mix a couple of theirs.

Just my opinion, but if you are putting these in a closed back guitar cab, I'd stick with guitar speakers.

For a vintage american/Fenderish sound, it's hard to beat these. 50 watt light dope.

For more power handling and a less colored sound:

I'm also a fan of Emi Tonkers. If they make a 10" version of that, it may be worth consideration.

I also have the option of changing this cab to a 112. I guess 2 x 10s will give more bottom end though?
