well, i plugged my bassman into the stock hotrod speaker (eminence legend 125, but pussed down to 50 watts) and the tone was PERFECT, given it was still an 8 ohm load & i only had it at about 1/3rd the volume
well, within the next couple weeks, I'll be getting a cab with the correct power rating, and because of these results i was thinking a 2x12 partial open back with 2 eminence legend 125's, rated at 75 watts each, instead of the 50 of the stock hotrod speaker
well, 75+75=150, and the load will be correct, so can i assume that i'll be getting pretty much the same volume when it's cranked to gigging volume? Gigging volume for me is close to max, i play LOUD. So i figure if a 50 watt gets me great tone at 1/3rd volume, then 150 will get me close to the same tone will the volume when it's, oh, right before overdriving, which is late since its a cbs amp, so, like 8 out of 10 on the volume knob.
When i was playing it earlier i had the regular volume at 6.5 and the master at 3, but once i match the impedance i can expect a lot more volume & therefore headroom, right?
