I've been using a stock Marshall 4 x 12 loaded with G12T75's for years. Tried many different speakers but always came back to the 75's because i think they match up with the JCM800 2204 really well. I just like the sound of that speaker with that amp. In an attempt to lower my stage volume, I recently bought an avatar 1 x 12 open back cab. It now has a 75 in it. Really the only reason I bought it was because it was a great deal and by the time I did some trading, I got it free. But I thought what the heck, if I can position it right on stage (beside me, aimed at me like a monitor), it should be loud enough on stage so I can hear and it can be pushed through the PA. I only play loud enough to be able to hear over the drummer anyway. But that's pretty loud. And, because of the way I usually have to position the bigger cab, it's pointed towards the audience. It's obvious that it probably won't sound as big on stage VS pushing the air that the 4 X 12 does. I'm just wondering what differences I'm going to here with the open back VS close. I can make a panel to close it up, but I'm wondering if I'll be better off to leave it open.
Opinions?
