Goj, if you insist on one cabinet you'd better go bigger than the 1-12. I just bought the Hydrive 1-12 and I LOVE it. But I don't require a lot of volume. Remember that the Hydrive 1-12's have the 4/8 ohm switch that will allow you to add a cabinet when needed. That would get loud if your band is in to loud. A 1-12 will definitely limit you on how loud you can go. Hartke is good stuff though, Leroy.....
