Wag magtipid sa speaker. Sayang ang mahal na gitara at amp mo kung pangit ang speaker.

► it would also be better if you have the chance to test it at the store, comparing..
► and regardless of brand, just look for the word "HiFi" and "woofer" to keep you on the right track..
► i also suggest a "200W rms" rated power..
► now the impedance "Ω" will depends entirely on the amplifier → when it says 4Ω → then i suggest just follow it, don't get too low @ 2Ω nor too high @ 8Ω..
► i also suggest a softer surround for sweet low-ends..

At your  service!

I will have to disagree on some points. Guitar speakers are not hifi. Hifi speakers do not colorize the tone, they should be flat. Guitar speakers, on the other hand, emphasize the guitar frequencies and are expected to color the sound.

Guitar speakers are also designed to break-up when its limit is reached. A 100 watt amp can put a 100 watt speaker to distortion territory. A 100 watt amp driving a 200 watt speaker generally cannot cause speaker break-up.
