Hi, I have an RP210 which clearly has a blown or seriously worn out speaker. I’m not sure of the specs of the speaker, ie. wattage, impedance. The speaker has a cream coloured cone. Does anyone have the specs for this speaker, as I’m looking to get a suitable replacement? Also what kind of speaker would be a good match for the current one?

Pictures front and back would help. Also, get the code off of the rim and post it here. It will help. Mike.
RP 210 is 100 watts
The RP210 has 100 watts output. You can get some basic information in the 1980 Catalogue available in the “Downloads and Resources” tab in the top banner.
Each speaker is 10-inch…presumably 50-watt’ish, and 4-ohms each.
If you are thinking of replacing the speakers…one or both…there are many many options available.
If the speakers are original “Music Man Specials” or “EVM” then a good re-cone of the suspect speaker might be preferable.
If the originals are EVMs then those are really nice speakers…and possibly worth repair.

Hi, I've included a pic of the speaker rim, I hope this helps, I was hoping to find out the wattage and ohmage. Thanks.

GHD is Guitar Heavy Duty?
Get a Digital Multimeter
If you have (or buy…) a cheap multi-meter you can easily confirm the ohms. Just disconnect the wire lugs. Remember the unpowered speaker will read less than the nominal rating. So an 8-ohm speaker will measure maybe 6-ohm on the multi-meter. A 4-ohm measure will measure 3’ish etc.
Power rating is something else…but as noted above the speakers will be a minimum of 50-watt each the 100-watt RP210.
I would guess that each speaker is likely 75-100 watts since they are “guitar heavy duty” and they look pretty hefty.
Here is a link to the Eminence website with a video on identifying the vintage speakers.

Looks like the Eminence “Legend 1058” is the comparable current model.

That's a LOT of magnet for a 10! I'm guessing 100 watts each by the size of that magnet. I have weber cali 10's in my 2-10 and they are rated 80 watts and the speaker is roughly the same sized magnet. They were designed to be JBL style replacements. I actually think your magnet is even bigger.
