Show your 2x12’s

YES! A 2X12 thread. I'll definitely be uploading a couple of pics.

One of my 2x12 cabs is a slanted vertical closed back and the other is a convertible open/close back can I run standing vertical.

Once I swapped over to my 2x12 and still could keep up fully with an orchestra and drummers, I stopped using a 4x12.

Saves my back for sure and is super punchy.
 
some of my favorites are the Peavey 212MC with celestion 85s. just dusted these off for a little AX8 rig. sounds great to me.

You’d think I had a thing for 2x12’s but 3 of them were deal-sealers when buying a head. The top left is a Line 6 Flextone cab with WGS speakers, the unbranded one on the right is an old Mesa w/ Black Shadows. White Marshall is a Sour Mash cab with an Anniversary and V30, pairs GREAT with that EVH 2x12.

The EVH is definitely my favorite, it does all the modern metal stuff fine and while it’s a bit scooped in the mids in comparison to the other cabs, handles all the classic rock tones I go for when I’m not chugging on shit. The Mesa blew my fucking mind at the same time it blew my ear drums. The original owner removed the back and I had it in the corner of a bedroom when I cranked it for the first time, I was powering it with a solid state Peavey XXL and using my AxeFX with it, my buddy had his Peavey XXX halfstack and that Mesa swallowed it whole as well as the small PA system the electronic drums were coming through, it was so fucking loud I couldn’t turn it down because I was laughing so hard for 15-20 seconds.
 
2018ish Friedman horizontal 2 x 12
Original V30’s - an extra jacks been added in the back so I’ve got the option to run it in stereo. Plug into any one jack and you get both speakers at 8ohms, plug in 2 cables and you get each jack pointing to the 16ohm speaker on the same side of the jack.
Might eventually swap out 1 of the v30’s with the Scumback M75 LD that’s sitting on the cab

I was running a Trace Elliot 4x12 as a detuned 2x12 when I opened for Animals as Leaders.

Today I play Zinkys when I'm 2x12 vibin.

Sold the 16 ohm Zinky Eminence in the Zinky branded V-Boutique V-Cube for some old 8 ohms that are well broken in. Put the 10 gauge Marshall Sound Runner on 'em too. Bottom cab came with some early 90's UK 16 ohm V30's but I sold 'em 'cause I can hear what Steve Fryette hears. Currently got Mesa T4416's, and boy does that cab sound legit with a 57 on it. Both are stuffed, too small for even standard tuning bass with their dimensions.

You mentioned Zinky in the other thread as well regarding the V- Boutique cab. Who/what is Zinky? I have the V Cube 2x12 on order.
