Replacement 10"s for Marshall 400 watt 4 x 10 cab?

[Bassman Rich]

Hi everyone.
Well, after people on here were so helpful suggesting a replacement speaker for my Ashdown 1 x 15 cab (Eminence 3015) which is now absolutely fantastic sounding, I thought I'd consult the oracle and ask for suitable 10s replacements.

The original Marshall 4 x 10 is internally 58.5cm x 58.5 cm x approx 29cm, and has a 10.5cm circular front port (porthole??!!), the speakers are celestions, 100 watt rating, 8 ohms. I was hoping to keep the same 8 ohms, but up the rating so my Ashdown ABM 500 doesnt blow it again, when used on its own, sometimes we play places with no PA support for the bass, so have to run pretty much near full on before amp distortion (probably around half way or just over, 12 o clock on the dial). Any suggestions?

It sounds great using a 1x15 with the 4 x 10, but I'd rather not have to lug 2 cabs about, maybe buying 4 new speakers is throwing good money after bad, and I should just get a different cab altogether?? Confused of Yorkshire...

Ps I play classic dirty rock n roll, think mainly a warm fuzzy bottom end with a thick low down punch, punchy mids and a bit of top just to cut through now and then.

If you are digging the 1x15, get another the same, I ahve a MAG 15 here with a 3015 in and it sounds great, got asked to sort it out by a dude, and I'm pretty pleased with the result.

I just sold a batch of Eminence Basslite S2010s, link below. They were 150 watts each, and for a brief while I had them in an Eden Nemesis 410, with the aim of making it sound more "Ampeggy" which they did. Long story about why got rid - back troubles, but the Basslites were very nice indeed.
