I have a Fender Rumble 500 head that I want to bring back and forth from practice and home. I would like to leave 1 cab at practice and 1 cab at home, then when gigging, depending on the venue size, bring one or the other or both.

These are the cabinet combinations I'm thinking about:
1 - 2x10 and 1 - 1x15
2 - 2x10
2 - 2x12

For cabinet make, I'm leaning towards Fender Rumbles or TC Electronic K series, maybe GK if I can find a deal used. What are your opinions?

If you have a top quality 212 or 115, you won't need two very often. Trust me, I live this.

What is your REAL budget? How big a hurry are you in?
Could you get one "light, easy to move, but utterly great" cab, and then save for its twin?

I voted 2 x 212, idea being practice and home will both have solid rigs. If you buy the right kind of cabs - on the high end - you can get something light enough to just move and will easily handle any gig, assuming as your gigs scale up so does your P.A. coverage.

The medium-sized GK 212 isn’t too bad, not sure the price.

Two of either of these should get you through most anything.

I casted 2x12"
For dual tc's K 2x12" it's the perfect combination, whether it be standalone or fullstacked, for both your needs and your bank

Cheers,
Wallace
