well the stock cab or the RV50 Combo comes with 2 V30 = 60 watt,
so i don't think that would be a problem.

Each V30 handles 60W, so a 2 x V30 cab can handle 120W, which (pause whilst checks on fingers and thumbs) is twice what a pair of G12H-30's will handle.

Seriously - I'm not joking there. Celestion, unlike most manufacturers, rate their products conservatively enough that speakers rated for the (clean) output rating of a valve amp will generally also handle the amp when cranked to full output. Just something Celestion have always done.
There <u>are</u> exceptions of course. I've been advised by a tech I trust the the Rocker 30 could probably easily enough blow a 30w Celestion, even if the less peaky (more compressed) AD30 wouldn't. And many of the super powerful old '100w Plexi' Marshalls would put out 140 or so watts clean, way more fully driven. 100w worth of Celestions wouldn't handle those amps, which is where twin 4x12 Marshall 'full stacks' came from!!! But a single 100w rated Celestion loaded cab will cope with most 'normal' 100w valve amps, and the 60w rated 2x12 should also handle the 4 x 6V6 RV50 fine IMO.
