Hello, I have TE elf 200 Watt combo that I use for small gigs. I want to add an extention cabinet to get a more bass tones and possibly louder sound. I'm considering 1x10 TE rated for 300 W, and the new york markbass 1 12 caninet rated at 400 W. They are both about the same size, weight and price. Can you please tell mr which one would sound better and why? I play classic rock, jazz and salsa. It can get loud sometimes at Jams. I'm also learning to slap, so I'm thinking the markbass might be better. Lookong forward to your recommendations.

Extention cabinet for Trace Elliot Elf 200 W combo options

The combo speaker is 8 ohms. You can add another 8 ohms speaker but not a 4 ohms speaker.
Both of the two you mentioned are 8 ohms so you’re safe there.
The TE 110 is made to match the combo but that doesn’t mean other cabinets won’t match well.

thanks abarson. I just discovered Phil Jones 2 5" speakers, 8 ohms, 200 watts rms. that are a little cheaper. they look well built. if you have heard of them, is this a good option?
I have played through Phil Jones equipment, but not their 2 x 5" cabinet. I think they are very clear sounding, and offer a surprising amount of bass, though not what I'd call deep. I haven't heard the other two cabinets for comparison.
