ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!! I highly recommend these to ANYONE!! I have a 4x12 cab with these in it, and I've played everything from blues to thrash with it, and they sound Killer!! Produce Excellent highs, Awesome mids, and Heart-Stopping Lows!! I have a 6505 sitting atop my cab, and the bottom-end will literally shake the house during practice. I have been using the same cab, with the same speakers, playing on average 8 hours a week, for 5 years! Never encountered a problem. The only comment I'm going to make, is I recommend using a High-End Cable to patch your head into your cab. I feel that a lot of bad reviews could have been avoided if the user had spent a few extra bucks for a decent cable. A cheap cable can make even the world's greatest speaker, or amp sound bad!!

I built a custum 1x12 for my brothers Valve junior amp, and I needed a cheap speaker. Tried this one out and loved it. Very loud, I ran my Peavy 100watt head through and had no trouble. I'm buying two more for a 2x12 to stick under my peavey. Very nice!

Bought two of these for my custom 2x12 cabinet. Using my Marshall Lead head sounds excellent. The stock Marshall gain set all the way up gave a great tone. Very much like a very overdriven Greenback. I truly believe these speakers are the best of all worlds. Great for blues to metal!!

Not A Bad Speaker

This speaker came stock with my Line 6 Spider II 30 watt combo. Both the amp and speaker are of Chinese manufacture; I hadn't really considered this when I purchased the amp but thankfully so far I've had no issues or misgivings.

As far as the speaker is concerned, it seems more than adequate for the job -- the Spider II 30 is quite a loud little beast, and the Rocket 50 takes everything it has to throw at it. I'm surprised at the amount of low end that the speaker is capable of generating, but the highs tend to grate a bit and the mid frequencies could be a bit more pronounced. The sensitivity of the Rocket 50 is only about 95.5 dB...not loud, but also not as anemic as some Jensen models out there. For what you pay, this speaker seems a good value.
