Members dimner Posted April 26, 2009 Members Share Posted April 26, 2009 I'm torn between a 2x12 or a 1x12 for the 5w head I am going to buy. I will hardly ever be cranking the head, but I am still having a hard time selling my self on a 1x12 cabinet. I know 1x12 is the sensible way to go. I'm really not going to crank it much louder than a vacuum cleaner. But the 2x12 cabinet seems better for some reason, but i cant name the reason. Either way I go, the cabinet will have vintage 30(s). Is there anything I am not thinking of? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members zack Posted April 27, 2009 Members Share Posted April 27, 2009 Resale value because of multiple uses. Fuller sound. Mixed speaker possibilities? More to choose from? Could gig out with it later. A million reasons come to mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members petejt Posted April 27, 2009 Members Share Posted April 27, 2009 2x12 cabs are good. You can run them in stereo if you want, when you want. They work well onstage too so are adaptable for lots of situations. Plus if you get another 2x12 just stack it on top of another 2x12 and you got a 4x12.

Members jlc1587 Posted April 27, 2009 Members Share Posted April 27, 2009 I'd probably go 2x12 myself. Although I've been satisfied with 1x12 before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could gig out with it later. A million reasons come to mind. I have 2x12 Gflex cabs at home and at practice because of their versatility. I use my 2x12s for practice at home, with the band, for gigs, and in the studio. I use my 100 watt head for practice and gigs. I use my 5 watt head at home and in the studio.

Members Singin' Dave Posted April 27, 2009 Members Share Posted April 27, 2009 Main advantage of a 1x12 is size and ability to place it on a desk or up at ear level for lower volume out of your room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Trixter Posted April 27, 2009 Members Share Posted April 27, 2009 1x12 look good and are easy to carry. You always have the possibility to buy another 1x12 and link them in stereo or just plain like that and you've got a 2x12! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
