I am considering an amp project with a new speaker. I am getting a cheap bass amp that is a Drive 20 watt bass amp- AC 117V 60Hz 35W (on back of the amp) that I want to mod into a customized guitar amp for something different. Currently the amp has a no name 8 inch speaker (it is being delivered and I do not yet know the ohm rating) also significant is the speaker is totally enclosed in the cabinet-no open back.

Is there a 10 inch speaker that I may be able to replace the 8 inch speaker that may give me a different sound? What do I need to consider as far as watt ratings in a replacement consideration- do i need to go higher of lower watt ratings if I am not matching exact? Do i need to match the OHMS exact.

thanks for input here- Tim
