Be careful about RMS vs peak values of speakers and amps and it doesn't hurt to give your speakers a bit of head room ie over rate them so if your amp is say 50w RMS then use a bigger speaker say 75w RMS. A 1 watt speaker is not going to cut it for a guitar amp...

No worries there - in this case I'm really just noodling around for my own educational purposes rather than building guitar gear!
