Cab sounds

[Muzuki65]

I use an Ampeg Portaflex 500, that I dearly love, with an Anpeg 1x15" and a Peavey 4x10. Great sound. But, playing in a variety band, would it better to run 2x15's or two 4x10's. Opinions please?

2 2x10 vertical and get a good PA.

Prob so. But want to know about the two choices i presented. Thanks for your input though.

Output from pair of 4x10 is deafening, not what I want on stage. Pair of 2x10 is roughly equivalent to a pair of 1x15 but has better dispersion. Dispersion of 4x10 blows. Since you don't have a preference tonally, go 2x10 stack with PA for the big gigs.

Of the choices presented I'd choose the 2 15's. Wider dispersion, less phase anomalies. But if it's an extreme high volume gig I'd go for the two 4x10's for sheer power over everything else.
