Good affordable 12" speaker replacement

[SongsForTheDeaf]

I have an older silver panel Hot Rod Deluxe that just roars but the current speaker has a touch of fizz and breaks up quite easily so I'm thinking of doing a replacement... something I have never done in an amp before so basically I'm looking for suggestions for this amp and for my style (heavy fuzzy stoner-ish rock similar to Queens Of The Stone Age)

Also is there any instruction sites or any tips you guys have on replacing the speaker as far as what wire goes where etc

Also not sure what the ohm is on the HR deluxe..

8 ohm.
Just copy how the wired are attached now when you install the new speaker. There are only two of them.
Texas heat - fizz gone, and it can handle 150watts so the speaker wont flab out even when your hot rod is screaming. Vintage beef.
You wont be sorry.

you have convinced me good sir, I'm goanna pick up the texas heat.... THREAD ENDED lol nah everyone keep chiming in with suggestions but the 150 watt Texas heat sounds like a winner.. I also ordered 2 Winged C 6L6 tubes just now for it and JJ 5751 and 12ax7 preamp tubes (5751 for the V1) I want the most headroom I can get out of this amp cause I crank her every week and I like it to have OOMPH when I kick on a pedal

I just went and bought the Texas heat last night for my 1988 Fender Studio 85 combo at Guitar Center. What a major difference in the sound of the amp. Eminence rocks !
