good speaker to make a cab to pair with a GK MB-210

looking for some advice from the TB experts. I just got my hands on a MB-210 for my cover band. pretty much gonna be my practice amp with this band and local bar amp for gigs with this band. So I'm looking to pair it up with another cab for the shows to get it to 500watts the 300 should be enough for practice

. I'm just gonna build one so I can match width and depth of the MB-210 so they can both fit in my trunk. I'm thinking a 15 will give it some nice surface area for that extra sound at a show, though im open to a pair of 10s or 12s if they would match up better. I am only using a 4 string and the lowest will be drop d tuning. What would be a good add-on speaker to build a cab with for this situation? I was thinking the 3015LF would just be overkill for a drop d 250 watt cab. plus to be honest i cant find any info on the specs of the neos in the GK combo to match it up, was hoping someone had a little more info to help in my selection.

GK makes a matching ext cab specifically for that combo, and it's a 210.

+1, that would be the best match. Might want to check out this thread, though, especially Post 121. You otherwise have to wade through a lot of extraneous crap to get to what matters.
Just opened up my 210MBE...

nice find, guess I need to check my combo when it arrives too on the batting. guess I will throw $300 on the MBE when Im ready. so you think the 210 is better than the 115 for this?

The only way to know for sure is to try both combinations side by side. If you can't do that then the 210 is the safe choice, as you know it will work well.

I'd sell it and get the 212 combo myself.

Good luck making that 210 work in a cover band, thing is so boomy and unfocused I doubt you could coax a rock sound out of it without a pedal and prayer.
