Cabs with Sub Woofer

I run two ISP subs using Bray boxes, in conjunction with a K100 loaded 212 on top of whichever 412 fills the spot. I rotate between a GB EVH 412, Uberkab (V30/T75).
Man I you you guys were all my neighbors so we could hang and check out the rigs/jam.
 
I think Friedman makes a cab with 2 12's and 2 15's.
Had one. Not a big fan. Between the inherrent harsh spike of the G12H Anniversary speakers, and the boomy flub of the Full Backs I did not dig it at all for heavy playing. I by far preferred pairing a 1x12, 2x12, or 4x12 with my cast frame EV SRO15 loaded 1x15 cabs.

I replaced the G12H Anniversaries with a pair of early '90s Marshall Vintage 12"s, which helped a quite a bit, but I still didn't like the flubby feel of the Full Backs. I planned on swapping out the two Full Backs for two Coffee Can SRO15's to eliminate the flub. Then I realized just how damn heavy that cab would be and said fuck that. It was already my hugest and heaviest cab, by a good margin.

I was gassing hard for, and am still considering a custom cab from Moon, Emporer, or someone like that for one SRO15 and two 12" Fane LCFR 150's or Celestion Cream alnicos with divided upper and lower sections, and convertible backs for open and closed back scenarios.

Otoh, I have three 4x12's, and one 2x12 loaded with either cast frame or a blend of cast and stamped frame speakers that bring insane levels of lowend punch and depth, and the 1x15 I can add if I want. I cannot for the life of me picture needing more punch, bloom, articulation, and 3d depth from a setup.

I also have one 2x12, and two 4x12's with 55hz speakers either alone or paired with 75hz speakers.

I've got all the lowend definition and punch I could ever want, and don't see a need for a sub, or Friedman's behemoth cab loaded with two of my least favorite Celestions ever.
