As the title, I know I need 8 ohms but what wattage? The amp is rated as 300 watts so I’m thinking minimum 150 for the extension? I’m probably way off and there’s probably a simple calculation but I don’t know it and Ashdown doesn’t specify. TIA.  Pic for attention!

Providing it fits size wise I’d look at their ABM PRO NEO 210, but it may well be worth giving them a call, I’m sure they’ll advise as to what works best as they’re always willing to help out.

It isn't something I would need to use much so I'm thinking more of the used market and I'd be looking for a cheap 15 to complement the 210. As I said, it's really the power handling I'm interested as I don't want to put an 8 ohm cab on if it can't handle the power from the amp.

The concept that a 15 complements a 210 is a myth. Sometimes it works OK, but not always by any means.

The thermal power handling is moot. What matters is the mechanical power handling, a spec which unfortunately never makes it into the advertising. Doubling the driver count with identical drivers quadruples the effective mechanical power handling, while avoiding potential destructive phase interactions.

Well, what I did was buy the carcass of a studio 12 from eBay. 
I turned it 90 degrees, moved the badge and feet so it pretty much matched width wise.
I think I probably have a non original speaker in it but they seem to work pretty well together.

It may look unorthodox but if your drummer has trouble hearing you turn the lower cab towards him. It won't affect the non-directional low frequencies but it will allow him to hear the directional mids and highs.
