Mesa Subway Cab Combinations

[Killing Floor]

Currently using 12” single or pair.

Quick question, how do they sound on the Low B? I'm likely getting a single Sub 15 for the 2 x10 I have. Light weight and can load and set up easily.

Four-stringer here — no practical experience to report.

I have several subway cabs as well.
With a P bass, I prefer 2 x 112 vertical.
With a Stingray, I prefer 2 x 115.
With other basses, I prefer 112 + 115.
If I had to keep only 2 cabs, I think I would chose 112 + 115 (my vote) as its a very good all around configuration. Only downside is that it's a little bit less tall and close to ear level than 2 x 115 or the vertical 112s.

My scientific and researched conclusion….

Bodacious!….

From a bassist, that conclusion works just as well as any science. We know what we are after more than they might. I'd prefer that fat 2x15 but I'm too old for that crap. 2 of the 15's is an option if 1 does not seem to cut it. But I think it will. Got back up if not.

You are right, one SW115 will get you a long way down the road. But those cabs are so light that I strapped my pair of 115s together as a 215 cab. Very light easy to manage at 66 YO.
