What is your favorite cab configuration?

I like a dual ported 4x10 w/ tweeter, and multiples therein.

AKA Eden 410XLTs, and as many as i can get a hold of...

 

8x8. sounds awesome, loud, ridiculous low end, yet small enough that i can throw it in the back of my VW.

my 1x15, its small, its ported, has crazy lows and mids, and its relatively light, i love it.

 

Gotta love two 2x10 cabinets. Basically a 210 or a 410 whenever you want, plus you don't have to tote around a big ol' 410.

 

Until moving on to more laid-back types of music, I had to have a 2x10 and a 1x15 to get the tone I was after. Now I use just a 2x10 (Euphonic Audio VL-210) and it gives me everything I need.

 

4x10 + 1x15 , both ported.

 

I use 2 2x10s. Gotta love the portability!

2x10, with 1x15....ultimate compromise between good sound, loudness, and portability...

 

I like 2x12 w/ horn cabs for the guitar like mids and great bassy lows, pair that with a 2x10 w/ horn and you have a pretty sweet setup...

I also like:
4x10+2x15
2x10+1x15
1x18+3x10
2x10
2x12
...sets.

Like he said.

Now all I have to do is free up some credit card and I can pull it off

I think the 2x12 is my favorite, to my ear, for the gigs I've been doing. Seems like my ear always likes the 12s for some reason.

I just got a big 'ole 4x10 and two 1x15s, and can't wait to hear it on stage. And can't wait to haul it all from the house to the station wagon to the stage and back.

I had a break-through this weekend. My band played its first "gig" or show if you will. We played a party, and I had a head that was mediocre sounding(not really my thing, but ill explain later), and my mesa/boogie diesel 4x10.(dual front ports...one heavy SOB too!)

One guitarist was using a marshall 2x12 combo with 250 watts or somehting in that area. The other was using a 60 watt peavey 1x12 and going through the PA, plus we have a loud drummer.

Here's the breakthrough. I used to use the 4x10 underneath a 2x10 combo, and it was decent volume, but not quite what i would like. But i ended up playing this show with just my 4x10, and i was LOUD!!! Great punchy, yet still rumbling lows, tight mids, and nice crisp highs. It was twice as loud as my old 6x10 stack was, and it sounded alot better IMO. So what im saying is, this front ported 4x10 does it all. I was considering buying a mesa diesel 1x15 to go underneath it, but i am just gonna put that money towards a nicer amp. I think im gonna go with a Carvin R1000 on this one. 700 watts at 8 ohms bridged should do the trick!

All i have to say is:
4x10, Niceeeeeeee

 

i love a 4x12 on top of a 2x15.
i home built a 4x12 and in the next future ill build a 2x15. no tweeter in the 4x12. don't know about the 2x15...

 

I'm like Allo, like my full stacks.

It'd be a front ported 4x10 atop a front-ported 1x15 for loud gigs.

What I will have soon is a 2x10 w/ tweeter combo atop a 1x15, 300W.

Good versatility.

 

I agree with the two 210 setup.They are easier to move around for one person and a pair will put out the same volume as a 410.

 

Oh, *I* have to carry it? In that case I'm bringing my head and playing through the PA system.

Actually, for me a ported 410 is hard to beat, all around.

 

Nothing like an 8x10 or 2. 4x10 with a 15 works if you like a lot of bottom end, which I do on certain occasions. But for that wall of punch, get multiple 8x10s...run by big tube heads.

 

I started using a pair of quality 210s over the summer, and haven't looked back since. At first, I did it as a compromise between performance and size. Now, I really don't think I would get anything else, even if someone else was carrying it. Plus, as has already been mentioned, you can easily get away with using only one of them in a lot of scenarios.
