A good 15 inch cab will improve bottom.
So will a cab with 10s or 12s. Our ears interpret more volume as "better sound." The driver size has nothing to do inherently with the frequency response , its all about the total cab and speaker design.

Though this book won't help a John Thomas too lazy to read the search results.

IMHO, no matter what size driver you get, I would advise you get the best sounding highest performing cab you can possibly afford—and buy used. A great second cab can serve as the basis for a more modular, lighter, and more capable rig. YMMV, IMHO, USW.
and don't tell people to F**** off when they're trying to help you

you would need an 8 ohm cabinet, 2 8 ohm cabinets take a 4 ohm charge from your amp. but adding a 15 inch wouldn't increase you low end as much (in all probability) as getting a REALLY good 2 times twelve and simply selling you 4 by ten. It would be lighter and nicer 
specifically Barefaced Bass makes som cooool cabinets xD

So we just get through fifty pages discussing this same issue for the fiftieth time this year but it's too inconvenient for you to read through any of it. Well, it's too inconvenient for me to wade through that crap fest again so soon, so yes, I'll jog the f**k on. Cheers.Well i did read the stickies and I've seen the mixing driver sizes thread. I still didn't understand the ohms watts thing so I asked a very specific question and hoped for a specific answer.
As for the 4x10 + 1x15 thing - well after reading some of the driver thread it seems that it's a preference thing - I've tried that configuration before and thought it sounded great to my ears - if you'd advise against it then feel free to tell me what you think. That thread is like 3000+ posts and I haven't had the time to read the whole thing - just enough to know its moot.
So either answer my question or jog the f**k on - no need to be trolls about it. Cheers.
maybe a "Mod" will close the thread or either ban him because he told us to F**K off!!!! He really should read the TB rules......in any case I'm gone......
Another example for my collection...thank you
(I know that comment didn't mean anything to you, but some of us got it...)
