i cant decide whether i want to buy two gs-112's or a gs410. i like to play a mix of everything, from outkast to 311, to a perfect circle. im just not sure which to get. i do have a 2-door bmw which would include the portability factor(4x10s can be a little annoying to put in there.) i figure the 410 will move more air and such, but the 112's will be more portable. im stuck..

aguilar question

i had a 4x10. i loved it, but i just switched over to two gs112's. i love them so much that im selling everything else (SWR Combo and my 8x10).i sold my 4x10 a long time ago. now i can just use one cab for small rehersals and such, and both for everything else. i dont think ill need more volume since its paired with a db750. traveling wiht gear is so much easier now. i just ordered my rack bag from aguilar too, so ill be set soon. But it depends on what music you play too. if its a rock band, go with the 4x10. everything else, the gs112's would better. i think...
two GS-112's have the cone area of about three 10" speakers so if you got three you'll have the rough equivalent of a 4.5x10, but it will probably sound more like a 610 because of the cabs 'coupling' and increasing bass.
I love my two gs-112's, but three would be even better for volume insanity!!!
apathetixx, have you tried stacking them like this???

ya. it just looks better when my amp is the same width as the cabs underneath. i also like to put them on the side like that but next to each other on the ground.
when I first got my cabs I stacked them horizontal, but got tired of bending over to adjust my amp so I stacked them on end. much better.
I'd get the 4x10. It would be louder, punchier and much easier to transport; you could do everything in one trip.
A 4x10 with casters would be much easier to transport than 2 1x12s plus a head. With the 4x10, you can put the head on it, and any other accesories and wheel it around. No such luck with the 12s.

It all depends on what type of music you're playing and the sound you're looking for.
I had two 112's that were perfect (although I've since moved to Epifani for the clarity and flexibility) for anything you'd want a fat sound - but I used a 410 for the rock band when I needed a more cutting clear sound. (although I sold that too cause the Epifani sounds so much better).
112 x 112 = portable, gobs of fat tone
410 = bitch to carry, pure thunder
interestingly, when directly A/B'd, the 410 was noticibly more "full range" - lower bass, higher treble. Much smoother and a flatter response.

i guess it depends..alot of people dont drive suv's or pickups or wagons, so a 4x10 would be a hassle to squeeze in the back seat. i had a 4x10 and a fourdoor sedan, and it was do-able, but just a pain. my gs112's are pretty much just as powerful, and half the size. i cant even fit a 4x10 or anything in my truck bed anymore..but thats the price i pay for a bad A$$ truck. if i got lazy or had to walk a long distance, id just throw my dolly in the car and wheel my little cabs as well. i had a 4x10 for a while, i just got tired of using it for every little gig or practice. and im just rambling now so ill stop..
apathetixx, did you just throw your dual Aguilar GS412 setup in the back of that truck? 
I like the idea of playing through a pair of GS112's. I can't get over the bias that bigger is better. I lust after the GS412 but I don't even need to get that loud. I really just need a cab for stage volume/monitor and practice. I should learn to get over it I guess.

i would love to have a gs412. its such a monster. i played thru one when i tested out my db750. man..it was loud. i think it looks so cool when you have a big cab like that on stage. if i played rock again, id get that over an ampeg. well..maybe.
