Custom 2 speaker cab question.

[GuitarStv]

I have a 1x12 open back cab with a Cannabis Rex and a 1x12 closed back cab with a V30. They both sound very different The V30 has tightness, sparkle, and mid presence and the C. Rex has a slightly relaxed mids, woody/smoky, mellower sound. But I think they sound much better run together than individually.

Is the 2x12 open back? If closed back, need to make sure the airspace matches what the speakers were designed for to sound right.

VERY EXCITED.

After more than 15 years, i am getting a 5E3 amp (head) this weekend.
Seeing that it is a head, i need a cab.
That made me think.
What about a 2X12 cab, but with two diff speakers.
Connect to the one (at a time) for a more traditional vintage tone, and maybe have a diff voiced speaker, say (for arguments sake) an Emi Swamp Thang, or even a Jensen Blackbird in the same cab.
Two diff speakers for two diff tones/feel. Only one being used at a time.

Has anyone done something like this before ?

Are you talking about being able to switch on the fly, like a pedal that selects one or the other speaker?

Blended tones are wonderful. I never use one speaker at a time like you are talking about.

sorta. i have a 2x10 that has a jensen p10q and an emi lil buddy. they sound totally different but both cool, they sound great mixed. i have a marshall style back plate so can run either 8ohm speaker by itself or both at 4ohms or 16ohms by flipping a switch
