Cab dilemma 4x12 or 2 (2x12)

[marlond]

So I'm sure I want an Aguilar DB cab. But I can't decide if getting the 4x12 would be better than getting 2, 2x12 cabs.

I know the obvious differences, cash, portability, etc.

But sound wise will there be a difference? I know that there will be 2 horns, but I would probably turn one completely down.

Help?

i've never heard either one, but looking at them and their specs, the only difference i see is that the usable low end spec in the db212 41 hz and in the db412 it's 37 hz. that's the only real difference i can see. mind you, this is without hearing them, but i'd expect performance to not be drastically different.

The Aggie 4x is essentially a stacked 2x, and the sound would be the same.

I can vouch for the DB412 being awesome

I've been thinking about getting a DB212 for smaller shows on the premise of what Bill said: they should sound the same.

[marlond]

OH man. This is not helping me chose...

On one hand the big 4x12 is really cool.

But sometimes my band will play really small shows. So I almost wonder if having the option to take just one 2x12 would be great.

Do the 2x12 have casters?

I know that my DB410 has casters, as well as my DB115, so I would go ahead and assume that the DB212 would have them as well.
