And you're a lap steel player, you say? I'd like to hear more about that, too. I love lap steel, and would like to hear what kind of stuff you play, what tunings you like, etc.
(I've got an old off-brand steel called a Roy Bert that I keep in Dobro G.)
I've never tried a guitar speaker in a automotive speaker enclosure, but I have played through a little Yamaha 1 x 10" wedge monitor once or twice with my old rack preamp/power amp setup I had for awhile. I liked the size and "angleability" of that shape, but the tone from the 10" PA speaker and little horn was pretty full-range and fizzy, as you might expect. For dedicated guitar use, I think it might have been pretty cool with a guitar-specific 10 in there and with the horn removed, leaving a reflex port instead. I'd have tried that but it belonged to a bandmate who was not receptive to ideas like that.
