What cab to add to my Aguilar GS112?

Sign in to disble this ad
I have an Eden Wt405 amp head and a single Aggie GS112. I need a little more volume. I can add another GS112 but has anyone tried a different 12" cab with good results? I'm thinking that perhaps a lightweight 12" cab would be a nice 'go to' cab for portability but still sound good with the Aggie when needed. A new SL112 is out of my price range.
Any working experience with a similar set-up?
Also is there any reason another GS112 with a tweeter wouldn't match up fine, if I go that route. I don't need to have the GS112NT do I? Just turn the tweeter off? If it is that simple why did they build the two cabs? Cost saving to the consumer?
Thanks for any input.

My first inclination would be a GS112NT. I'm kind of a sucker for matching appearances. Many, MANY people love this setup.

I use between 1 and 4 GS112s together. I LOVE 3 of them, and 2 of them work great with plenty of volume and low end. I'd recommend that route.

The best cab to add to a GS112 is another GS112. Maybe the GS112NT if you're feeling a little squirrelly.

I have two GS112's and one GS112NT. LOVE THEM!!!!!

I have considered one more cabinet, but seriously, I don't need one. When I play through all three, buildings crumbles.

I would say another GS112 or GS112NT.

I've read that an Eden D112XLT with a GS112 is a good pairing. The Eden brings in the mids.

Yeah dog all I wanted to do when I had my GS112NT was add another one, too bad I sold it and moved on.

I have a GS112 that I pair a Eden CX110 with for some good results.

The safest way to go when adding another cabinet is to add one identical to the first. Anything else could end up as a crapshoot.

My CX110 works well but, If I had the money, I would have gotten another GS112.

Absolutely. That's a sweet sounding mini-stack for sure.

Another vote for a 2nd GS112. I've got a pair myself and think they are great.

I have heard of people using a GS112/DB112 stack with good results, but never heard one myself.

I'll tell you, you'll be *stunned* by the amount of low end you pick up by pairing GS112s.

What he said. I have 4 of the GS112s and usually rely on just a pair of them. The flexibility of multiples of the same cabs is very nice and the second cab whether it be an 'S' or 'NT' really...really makes a tremendous difference with these little beasties. Very deep. Very loud.
