Probably...but don't use too much bass as that'll fry it quicker. In fact, if you're gaining it with volume the cab will provide low end resonance so turn your bass to zero if you can when cranked.

100 watt amp cranked will blow the cabinet

I recorded for years with a 4104 JCM800 50 watt master volume head into a single V30 in my oversized iso box including many hours at max volume everything dimed and that speaker is still going strong 10 years later. I wouldn't worry a bit.

That’s what I thought, I use the 1x12 for practice

Ah, you did the head conversion?

Yes. That was a long time ago. I sold it as it was too loud for my apartment I lived in at the time. I also recorded my IIB Coliseum through it at rather illicit volumes so the V30 can take a pounding of the like which would leave Linda Lovelace begging for mercy.
