I wanted to try out a good 112 cab with a greenback, so I found a Traynor DHX12 for sale locally for $150...Made in Canada with baltic birch construction, and a greenback. It sounded OK, nothing special so I decided to try it with my Scumback XH75-LHDC that I have only previously tried in a small front loaded cab. Well I put it in that Traynor cab, and very cool, sounds as big as my port city 212, then I removed the cover for the rear vent, and my jaw dropped!!!!!!!!!! It was loud, clear, the floor was shaking, I could feel the bass in my chest...I had to check the cables to make sure my Port city cab wasn't going at the same time. It is like this cab and speaker are made for each other. I am just giving my ears a break before going back to do a head to head with my port city. But I think that this is a crazy combination.

I think that this might be the best bang for the buck cab ever. I will probably sell the greenback for about $90 locally making the cab cost me $60. I got the Scumback for $180 so total cost was $240 for a 112 that is blowing my mind!!!
 
Love Jim's speakers. Did you remove the rear cover with the Greenie in it? Just wondering how big a difference between the 2 speakers.
 
I did remove the cover with the Greenback, and it sounded pretty good, but that XH-75 especially with a good bit of power behind it is just amazing in that cab. The opening in the back must be just the right size at about 4" x 7". I was also a bit hesitant in cranking the greenback too much with my Randall. I cranked my 20 watt Peters pretty good to that greenback. The Scumback is 100 watts so I didn't have to hold back with my 50 watt Randall. I am thinking I might end up trying to track down another XH-75, or an XH-55 and another one of these cabs so that I can set them up a few feet apart to really fill the room.

I went back twice to compare the two cabs, and with both my Randall, and Peters that 112 sounded much better to me. Plus with the effieciency of the XH series it is also louder than the 212. Tonight I might try one of the Scholz speakers in the Traynor to see if it is just the cab that is amazing, or the match of cab, and speaker.
