For those of you who are familiar or experienced with the use of different types and sizes of external cabs, I've got a general question regarding tonal differences (if any) . . .
Assuming that the incoming amp settings (or signal) is the same, and that the manufacturer, design, impedance and power rating of the installed speaker elements themselves were all the same in each instance, what basic tonal or performance differences (to the ear) would be expected between the following external open-backed cabinet configurations:
1) A single, standard-sized 112
2) A single, oversized (i.e., deep and wide) 212
3) A pair of spatially separated (but not stereo) 112s in series or parallel
Would the difference(s) be notable?
For example, would one or the other be thumpier, with more perceived bottom end? Would one sound bigger or more natural than another? Would the influence of one speaker on the other (in the 212) make a difference? Anything at all would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks All!
