The Celestion Rocket 50 is a stage classic. Offering Celestion quality at a great value, the Rocket 50 is a great speaker for any style of music.

Take a look inside the back of a standard 4x12 guitar cabinet and you may well find Celestion Rocket 50s bolted inside. The Rocket 50 sounds fantastic with any playing style...and it won't break the bank.

I'm hoping to get some decent mileage from these speakers. They look well made. I would definitely replace if stolen / buy again / recommend to friends.
Sound
For the price I really can't complain. I used these to replace the 4 stock speakers thst came with my closed back Kustom G-412 half stack and the difference was amazing. I've been playing blues, classic rock and rock for 40 years and these speakers suit me just fine. I have 5 different heads ranging from 20 watts to 150 watts and they handle everything I throw at them within reason. Decent lows, nice mids and pronounced highs for soloing. I don't know how they would sound in a 1 or 2 speaker combo but in a 4x12 cab they're killer for the price...
Features
They're speakers. 'Nuff said.
Ease of Use
I have no problem getting "My Tone" from these speakers.
Quality
They look well made to me. Everybody's bashing China these days but their stuff is getting better and better. Does anybody remember when made in japan was supposed to be a joke? How'd that work out for the bashers?
Value
This is absolutely the best bang for the buck if you're looking for budget speakers for a 4x12 guitar cab hands down!
Manufacturer Support
Didn't need to contact Celestion and hope I don't have to.
The Wow Factor
It's just a practical addition. No cold sweats here!
