Has anyone ever hooked up two GK MB115's? First Gen

[shawshank72]

I recently found myself with a blown gk mb115 that im going to replace the speaker in.
This amp sounds great and i love the portability, but one of these cant cut it at rehearsals let alone an actual live show without PA support.
Was wondering if anyone has ever ran two of these at once? Any phase issues or any other problems?
I think the 400W 2x15 would sound great and be plenty of power for my needs while leaving one behind and taking the other home so i can enjoy the mobility of it.
Its great for taking to the bedroom then out to the deck then down to the basement with the kids.
But id like to get it to be used in a band situation.

You must have a loud band. I have the newer version and I hardly ever turn it up above half way.

I had one and found it was a bit shy in the volume dept. at times. I took a different tack and put in an 8 ohm EV I got cheap, and wired up an extension jack. I tried it with a friend's Ampeg 115.......yowzer! Some serious air movement! As much as I would ever need, and likely very close to the volume of 2 separate combos. Actually, the EV was louder than the 4 ohm original 15! Better sensitivity I'm guessing?

Its loud enough to know im there but no room to spare at all.
Think two would work perfectly.

Anyone?

From a theoretical perspective, adding the second speaker is likely going to add more to the sound than the extra wattage, but I'd be lying if I said this very idea hasn't crossed my mind. First time I tried an MB in the store, I thought it sounded great, then I tried to move it and almost fell over as this feather weight thing comes off the ground.

I struggled with 1x15 and silly loud bandmates until I put my foot down. If I had known about lifting up or tilting back it would have been way more fun.

Adding 2nd cab solves all that. Headroom to burn.

Elevate it or tilt it back so it's not blasting at your feet. It will make a bigger difference than you think.

But it looses its bottom end?

Bottom end is over rated. All you need is mids. The bottom end is for the drummer.

No loss until you lift it 2.5ft. You hear more mids, sounds like less lows, but it's actually closer to the sound out front. All win.
