Is a 10" speaker enough?

[VSpaceBoy]

Due to volume constraints I'm looking for a small amp to use in my apartment.

Volume is a major problem actually so I'm definately getting an iso box of some sort to keep things nice and low. Hopefully low enough.

My question though... Is a small quality amp with 10" speaker (inside an iso box) enough to mic and get usable results from? Maybe layering tracks might thicken things up too right?

I'm playing metal mostly and a little blues.

I'd love to hear details from anyone with a similar situation.

Thanks.

I record with my 10" Orange amp sometimes and it sounds great IMO!

just out of interest, what's too Big, would you say, for guitar? i don't think i've ever seen more than 12", but i'm sure it exists?

They make 15's for guitar. Any bigger than that (well 15 is really to in IMO)and it gets too sloppy.

Yea, you go shoving 15" up in there and it's bound to get sloppy.
