Driver for home made bass amp

[punkrokr1701]

I am looking to get an amp so I could play my bass more often and i decided that i might as well as build my own so i was scanning through bass amp and i realized well for 330 bucks i could easily build my own amp that will be twice what these are, so i was at parts express looking at bass guitar speakers when i came across theEminence Neo Basslite 12" bass speaker and it looked like a really sweet deal and it'd would go really nice in a 4x12 cab and would match perfectly with the Peavey 900 Amplifier and then I saw it again wondering why it was called basslite when I came across something that completely wrecked my plans, the driver only has a 4 oz magnet !!! and now im curious if this will still be able to handle the 150 watts rms it says it can so if there's anyone out there who have dealed with this driver bass players especially enlighten me as too if I should continue to make plans with this driver.

This drive does not have a standard magnet like you are used to, it is a neodymium <sp> these are super magnets, very very strong. the 4oz magnet probably has as much magnet power as a 40 or 50oz ceramic magnet. just less weight!

I have used the 10" basslite speakers and they seriously kick ***!! no problems with power handling at all!

I ran a single 10 on a 300 watt amp no problem.
