130w Trace head into a 300w Trace Cab

Presuming an 8ohm cab you'll get about 2/3 (I think) of the amp's output but that doesn't really give you an idea of the volume...
Broadly...you could use a very sensitive cab and it be good n loud or a cab not so sensitive and be much less loud...

there's all manner of physics involved with this stuff but the end result will probably be try it and see, if it's not loud enough add more speakers or change the head (or both).

If its a 130SM GP7 no worries at 4 ohms you will get full beans they are very loud, they will easy keep up with a modern amp with more than twice the power and through a 4x10 great. They will output actually from 150-260 watts. the 130SM is really the same as a 150SM. I still use mine for rehearsals. It was made in 1987 my first proper bass amp. F@@@ing thing wont die. It lives in the boot of my car, heavily neglected, the tone is nice! not even a stratchy slider......... In fact I am going to treat it to a new amp sleeve. The old one is moldy and looks like its been chewed by a wookie...
