I have a 10 inch Scorpion Speaker. Would this work for Steel Guitar?

I don't know about the 10".

I actually think the 15" Scorpion in my Reno sounds pretty good.

Of course it will work, but how well depends on the sound you're looking for. I found the "Scorps" to be weighted more for midrange sounds than the typical pedal steel speaker. In other words, they're "flatter", having less obvious bass and more mids. I don't prefer that sound, but many do, and it seems to be in vogue lately.

My own preference is a big mid-scoop, with a full, meaty bass, but I'm in the minority. It's all just personal preference.
