That lower cab looks like it used to be a Passenger Combo? ;) You could put your amp and switcher box into the rack space.

Yes, the lower cab was a Passenger combo. I actually replaced it with another Space Deluxe, just to keep things smaller. Now i can stack the Cabinets vertical. I like that more. The Space Deluxe weights about 20 kg, I don't want any peace of gear that has more weight than that. For that reason i have the Amp seperate......

I've been playing a Markbass CMD 121H combo for awhile, but now I'm thinking about adding a Traveler 121H cab to go with it for a bigger sound. What ya'll think? Will it cut it for outdoors rock and large clubs like the 410 my bud has?

IME, no (2) 1x12 stack in the world will cut it for an outdoor gig - unless you're using a suitably-powered PA system with a similarly robust monitor system. But without PA? Get real.

Large clubs? Maybe. Depends...

I think that I understand you: you want to compare the sound of two cabinets stacked on top of each with the cabinets in their normal horizontal position vs. two cabinets stacked on top of each other in a vertical end on end orientation.

I have tried both ways and don't notice a difference in the sound. I've seen a few other opinions on TalkBass - some say the cabs sound better stacked in their normal horizontal position and others don't notice a difference.

It seems that both ways would benefit from the vertical alignment of drivers. The vertical end on end stack does get the sound closer to your ear, so if that's important to you, go that route.

Misunderstand me correctly;

I'm only talking about the orientation of the cabs, not side-by-side vs. stacked.

But i guess the big win when stacking them "on end" would be that you get one speaker closer to your ears? Other differences?

depends on where you are. Go to a club, stack your cabs both ways and have someone else play while you walk around the room in the audience area.

If such a 2x12 stack did exist the one I own would be in the running:

IP Berg 112 with extension.

The single powered box gets VERY loud ... with the extension cab it can literally be deafening.

My new (to me) dual 112 stack. Just got the cabs yesterday from theory028 (thanks Justin!). Running them with the Hartke LH1000, bridged, putting about 1100 watts out between the 2 cabs. Weighed them yesterday, and they're 44lbs each, which is not at all bad considering their non-neo. I get to try them out tonight at practice to see how they do in a band setting, but so far, they are loud and sound great!
