10" Guitar Speaker recommendations

The Studio

Howdy Yall,

Though I would pick yalls brains. I bought a Roland JC40 combo a few days ago and while I dearly love the clean sound - I love fuzz and nasty distortion as well.

The amp specs are 2 20 watt amps and each amp is feeding 2 Roland 10" 20 watt speakers. The speakers cant keep up. When I put the amp on 5 straight up and clean I get quite a bit of speaker break up. When I add fuzz/distortion - there is no definition and the speaker is flubby as hell.

I was wondering if any guitar nerds here had a recommendation on a 40+ watt 10" speaker 4 - 8 ohms?

Ive been looking at the Celestion G10 Gold but man that price tag hurts. Im trying to stay around $150 or less per speaker.

Also been looking at the Eminence Legend 1058.

Im aiming for a jangly, “almost” scooped tone. I get my lows and low mids from my Korg MS20. I do a synth rock act sometimes and trying to get a massive wall of synth and guitar fuzz that can get crystal clean in a heart beat.

Be up a hello yall!

hi @mundainmonstre!

Are those speaker drivers the originals or is this a secondhand cabinet that someone has replaced the drivers in?

At a google glance, I can’t confirm whether or not this amp is a 40 W per channel, or as you say 40 W total.

Oh yes brand new amp - Roland branded speakers. I can 100% confirm there are 2 20 watt amps in there each powering a 20 watt speaker.

I have a Marshall CODE 50 that I love.

The only thing which they could improve is to allow for storage of more than 100 presets, but aside from that, it’s totally awesome.

Another option to consider within your budget is the Jensen C10Q. It’s a classic speaker known for its vintage-inspired tone with sparkling highs, warm mids, and tight bass response. It’s a versatile choice that can handle a variety of playing styles and genres, making it a popular option among guitarists.

Yeeeeaaaahhhhh good call on that. Ive been listening to the C10Q in demos and I do like it as well as that price tag is quite nice… 75$ per speaker.

Thanks for the back up on that one!

I thought you already got those. Good luck and I hope you get them. By the way, how many speakers are you planning on getting?
