It just occurred to me that I didn't mention what kind of cabs I'm using...NONE! ha ha
I run direct these days.
That said, I have been running out of two 1x12 cabs since the early 90s (before that, I had two 4x12s and that was ridiculous). Just within the last couple years, I sold my old 1x12 cabs and picked up some Thiele ported cabs with EV Speakers (EVM12L and an EV Force). Each cab weighs about 50 pounds, the speaker magnet accounting for about 35 of those.
These are incredible cabs. When I bought them, I hooked up a single Thiele cab on one side and a 4x12 Jackson cab w/4 Vintage30s on the other = the Thiele sounded just as big and deep (the ports help a lot). I will never get rid of them, even though I'm not using them right now. I'll attach some pix later
