If I buy this I'll be playing with it an Orange Micro Terror 20 watt head. With this head, how loud could I get?

This is kind of a hard question to answer because perceived volume is at least somewhat subjective. With the 15 watt all tube amp I use, this cab can get pretty loud--enough to fill a 10 car garage. Bear in mind that the amp you mentioned has a solid state power amp, which means it may not sound quite as loud as an all tube amp. Overall, I think you'll be pleased with the sound of this cab.

Loud enough for the neighbors to call the cops. Seriously, though, I play an Egnater 15-watt head through mine & it is loud enough to handle most club situations. For anything bigger, putting a PA mic by the speaker will cure your ills. If you're ever in doubt, buy 2, this is a great all-purpose speaker!

It's certainly loud enough for neighbors to complain if you live in an apartment complex, as I do. I never have my heads' volume above 9 o'clock on the master volume; any louder, and I risk complaints. I think this cab would be more than adequate for gigs in a small coffee shop.

Hi there! The 1x12 gets loud enough for small bars, but if there is a house PA, you may just want to mic the cab. I have an ElectroHarmonix 22Caliber power amp, and in a bar sized practice room, I can tune feedback from about 10 feet. Nice!

The Orange Micro Terror 20 w is a powerful hybrid amp (tube and solid state).It will be loud enough for a small gig. For a big gig you will need to mic the cabinet for more volume.

This cabinet is 16 ohms. An amp that is rated to put out 20 watts does so into 8 ohms. You will only get 10 watts of power using 1 cabinet. To get 8 ohms you must buy two cabinets and wire them in parallel. if there are 2 quarter inch inputs on the back of this speaker cab that is easily accomplished. If not you have to buy a quater inch input and have it wired parallel to the speaker so you can connect the cabinets to get 20 watts. The advantage is when you use 1 speaker at home you have less volume and when you play live you can move one speaker to the other side of the stage.

I have that same head, but I've only played them together in my basement, and it's ear-splitting, even at low volume. I can't tell you how big a room you could play in, though.

I don't remember it being very loud; just very weak power. It will probably work OK for that purpose.

Ummm honestly it probably would be a but over kill! Cause this powers my 2 12's that are higher rms with no issues! How much is the prime 500 watt amp
640171
it would fry them if it could run at .5 lowest i've been able to run it was .79 (.8)ohms any lower and it goes protect. it fried my friends type r 15s at 1 ohm. if you're still looking at getting this amp then runs it in 2ohms and give it a try.

I have a boss audio 1100 watt riot monoblock and it works good. if you got the money get a bigger amp but i would recomend the boss audio

It will be just fine! Remember it's only 15 watts. I just did a small gig with mine. Guitar, bass, drums. We play soft. It was great!!!!!!!!

Surprisingly loud, in fact I use a Reignmaker which is an attenuable 12' speaker, use it to cut 5h volume 50% for clean, and use either a Radial Plexitube or Route 66 for grit to keep the volume down whilst playing overdriven/distorted through pedals.

I couldn't tell you about the wattage, but I will say that the only complaint I have about this amp is that it doesn't get very loud. Its part of what attracted me to this item in the first place (my little kids have blown more than one pair of speakers by messing with the volume knob on my former, way over-sized amp when it was off) but I maybe I wish it still went just a little bit louder?

It's pretty short so probably be pretty loud. A turbo type muffler would probably give you a deeper tone.

If you like loud music you'll love it. I tried it with my cheap skull candies and I couldn't turn it all the way up, because it was too loud.

4 watts, if you kiddie corner it near the wall the sound will reflect a lot louder

Actually i got impress because i wasnt expecting that loud sound, and if i be honest those 470 watts are enough for your room, trust me. You'll love it and will have not regrets about it.

I never tested to see how loud it could get, but the louder i made it go, the worse it sounded. you should be able to hear it withinn 10-20 ft. w/o any issues; you just might not like what you hear. I purchased it for music; sports or news may be OK.

if you blow hard enough it is pretty loud. it doesn't make my eardrums bleed, but it isn't that pleasant either. it's probably louder than you'll be able to scream.

Depends on how much wattage you throw at them. A Crown xls 1000 will make them scream.

Definitely. It's got some settings that are really crunchy. I think you'd be very happy with it playing that kind of music. Even on just 2-3 it's pretty darn loud. I haven't got it past 5 and it was cranking.
