Recommend an inefficient 10"

Any recommendations for a 10" speaker with a low SPL for a very-low-watt Champ-ish bedroom amp project?

Thanks!

I hear the Weber CTS clones have reduced efficiency. Ask Ted to verify.

I really, really like - no, I LOVE the Neo 12"s, so I'd be willing to give the Neo 10"s a shot... but I have no personal experience with the 10"s.

I absolutely LOVE Jensen Reissue speakers though, so you may consider a ceramic reissue. The C10R is even less efficient at 94.7dB, if you had a little more amp watts to throw at the speaker, I'd suggest an AlNiCo P10R (95dB sensitivity) since it would compress nicely and get creamy on the top when punched in the face with 15-20 watts or so.

Learn about safety before building/repairing/modding an amp. When in doubt, take it to a shop. Never drink yellow snow. Have fun.
