I've always been a 4X12 guy, but as age creeps in, I'm beginning to realize that having a 2X12 cab around might be a smart move.
I've got two 12" speakers that I'd like to use (WGS Vet30 and WGS ET65), so ideally the cab can be empty. I'd like an open back or a convertible back to help spread the sound a bit, even though it will sound less like a 4X12. I'm thinking around $300, and it looks like Avatar and Sourmash make empty cabs in that price range.
I'd use it with one of a Marshall DSL100 or JCM800, a Carvin x100b, or a Laney GH100L. I use whichever depending on the actual band and my mood that day. I play 70's -90's hard rock and I'm in a 90's alt rock band now (AiC, Pearl Jam, Foo Fighters, that sort of stuff) just to give you an idea of how I'll use the cab at practice, and smaller gigs with tight stages.
So what do you recommend? What's good, what's junk? I'm good with new or used. Thanks in advance!
