KC/DC only uses bottom cabs as well! (Shameless plug...)LivewireBlanco wrote:Always heard that the bottom cabs have more bass feeling to them. Maybe cause of a slightly larger cab interior or maybe cause of the direction of the speakers. I know AC/DC only use bottoms and stack them on top of each other.
I totally agree with that statement.i heard it is easier to control the sound with the straight cabs when playing live

Yes, it does soound good. I took the back of the cab off and rewired the speakers in an X patternso when in stereo you have one uppper and one lower speaker on each side, just figured it would be a little more fuller sounding that way, but its not necessary. If you are using the 100 watt head, when using just 2 speakers you cannot dime the master volume without taking a risk. The speakers are rated at 25 watts each so 2 equals 50 watts. Thats twice of 100 and the amp may possibly put out a few more than 100 watts in high dynamic mode I do not know. I tend to gamble a little, but I have gone up to master volume of 7 in low dynamic but no higher than 5 in high dynamic. I may be an idiot and blow a speaker someday, but it has been fine so far. It still gets loud, I mean the master on 5 in high dynamic into 2-12's in a 15 x 15 foot room will pound your ears after awhile. Think of it as a 4-12 cab that can change into a big box 2-12 cab. If you are looking to just get a 2-12 just google Avatar Speakers they are thye best bang for your buck out there and they are all birch plywood compared to the Marshall being plywood speaker baffle and the rest particle board. Avatar prices just went up a little but still very reasonable. With Avatar you cannot get the Vintage Modern special Celestion speakers though. If you look at the Vintage series by Avatar for the 2-12, just keep in mind, that the Vintage 2-12 is only a few inches smaller than a 4-12. Good Luck!Dave W wrote:
I have the 4-12. If you think a 4-12 is to much, then just hit the switch on the back to stereo and put the ohms setting on your amp to the correct spot and you have a 2-12 running
Does this actually sound good?? If so, good call..I didn't think about that
