WR,
I use a Gallien Kruger 800RB Bi-amp. I have a 1x15" Harke, and a 4x10" harke.
The 1x15" is better for deep bass (you know, the kind you can feel in your
chest) The 10" cab is cleaner and does better with the higher end frequencies. I
prefer using both cabs with the bi-amp, but in situations where I may be limited
to one cab, I would choose the 4x10" and then max out the bass on the head. Of
course, if you are sound reinforced it doesn't matter much either way. I haven't
had much experience with 2x12" speakers for Bass, it is not a very common set
up. I would have to wonder why. Based on the info you provided, I would lean
towards a GOOD quality 15" speaker. May be the best all around? What kind of cab
are you putting the speaker into? It has been my experience that it is actually
better to buy a new cab. ie. the last time I needed to replace a 15", a
replacement speaker (black widow) cost almost as much as a whole new Harke
15"cab. I think the difference was between $50 & $100 bucks and I got the brand
new cab with warranty. Do some homework, check prices, and weigh pros and cons
before you buy anything. First and foremost, you get what you pay for. If you
buy a cheap speaker for bass, it won't sound that great, and will probably not
last very long.
Hope this helps somewhat, Good luck.

Subject: [SurfGuitar101] bass speaker question 115 v 212
Guys,
My bassplayer left me in charger of buying new speakers for the bass.
can anyone fill on on what to go for, 1x15"or 2x12"? what are the
diffenences? I've always been partial to 15", but he's got a cab that
can take 2 12's or 1 15, but not 2 15's. I looked in to 12's, and
maybe its the better option alltogether, because supposedly it gives
better spread of sound?
bassplayers of sg101, please chime in!
thanks
WR
