Members ksl Posted June 11, 2019 Members Share Posted June 11, 2019 I've always liked the punch of 4x10"s, Jensen P10R's, but don't want to lose too much of that sweet low end & overall beauty that the G12H30-55 is famous for!!??? Truly different animals?Thanks~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil O'Keefe Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 I love the sound of a 4x10 Super, but they can be a lot harder to move around. FWIW, that’s why my main gigging amps are a pair of 1x12 combo amps. If moving it is not a concern, go with the 4x10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ksl Posted June 11, 2019 Author Members Share Posted June 11, 2019 Thanks Phil....moving abouts is definitely not gonna happen. I agree with the 4x10 approach!🕉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil O'Keefe Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 Something about those 10's I really do like the punchiness of 10" speakers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Daehtihs Posted July 2, 2019 Members Share Posted July 2, 2019 I really do like the punchiness of 10" speakers. It's the super fast transient attack, I'm surprised more punk and metal players don't use them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators daddymack Posted July 2, 2019 Moderators Share Posted July 2, 2019 the 10" punch is why I keep** my '65 Vibrolux Reverb* for large stage gigs. It just has that ability to be heard no matter what. I find, though that that same punch works against me in clubs, and depending on shape, some hotel ballrooms. I thought that going with a 10w 1x10 [Epi Galaxie] or15W 1x10 [superChampXD] would work better, but it didn't. There is some magic with 2 or more 10" speakers...but IMHO, 2 is plenty; for several years in the mid 80s/early 90s I drove a Fender 6x10 cabinet with that amp for large stage work. I would rather mic an amp than haul that kind of weight, but I'm an old man now, and I will be hauling 2 1X12 amps to my gig tonight...not sure which ones yet...decisions, decisions...BJs, Vox, BlackStar, Quilshall [Quilter Aviator head, modified Marshall*** cab *the 2 10" speakers I have in there now came from a '66 Super Reverb that the owner was converting to a 1x15...six months later I ran into him and he told me he regretted making the conversion. **I have been offered above prevailing price several times over the years, including by Dick Dale when I briefly worked with him in the late 80s. I bought that amp, used, in 1972 for $241+tax, and it was my main amp up until I got a Marshall SL100/1960A half stack in 1977, which I unloaded in 1980 and went back to the Vibrolux until 1997 when I got a 1x12 Marshall V65R***.
