Hey all how's it going. Long time no post. 
So, I've recently come into two alnico SRO 12's. Unfortunately due to riffing in C# with my P90 LP > Octavio > HGWD NKT275 Sun Face they now are both recones, because I blew the first one I got within 45 minutes of loading it up the first time. However, after having that tone for 45 minutes I knew I needed to get it reconed.
The seller also had another SRO in much worse shape that already needed a recone, so I worked out a deal with him and he shipped it directly to Orange County Speaker and they did the recone and shipped it to me. After a little break in it sounds just as fantastic to my ears as the original. Like a warmer, but more aggressive EV12L.
I've never heard a speaker that sounded like it punched out every single ounce of tone your guitar/pedal/amp had without wasting a single watt due to inefficiency. The treble roll off is perfect, the bass is punchy and distinct without being too hard sounding.
So, I want to build a cab for them that will compliment them perfectly, but also work for stacking with my 4x12. I have a great cab already (Boogie halfback with the back sealed up on the top bout), but that won't stack well with my Recto Trad. 4x12 (Fane AXA12/G12H(55) loaded), and Tremoverb head.
I was thinking of building a theile 2x12, but could just do a ported or closed back, or maybe an diagonal OS 2x12 (ported or closed).
What do you guys think? Music played will be primarily heavier rock to metal. No death metal, well maybe some Entombed off the first couple albums, but other wise think more heavy blues based rock and metal. More stoner rock/metal then *insert generic bs*-core.
