I have a 5150 head and 4x12 and was thinking of getting another 4x12, but then i thought if it was really necessary. Just 1 cab is loud enough to make your ears bleed....but yet i guess it depends on the atmosphere and acoustics of where your playing. So what do you guys think...is it really necessary?

Re: is a full stack really necessary?
You have a 5150...you have a 4x12 cab...no need for another cab...you can play anywhere.

Re: is a full stack really necessary?
1. You are a poser.
2. You want to get yourself a hernia (unless you pay/have others to shift your gear around).
3. You play in large stadiums/arenas all the time.
4. You want to use different speakers in the 4x12 cab (bottom/top end).Comment

Yep, that more or less sums up the reasons for a full stack. Maybe add: I was deaf before, so all I can do is FEEL the music. Better be true, because you sure as hell wWIL be deaf afterwards

Re: is a full stack really necessary?
I've got a full stack (one 4X12 with G12M-70's and the other with V-30's). Even though I have two, I never gig with both - it just isn't worth it, even for the tonal differences...
95% of gigs, a 4X12 is MORE than enough...'No matter how hot and sexy any woman looks, some guy, somewhere, is tired of putting up with her sh#t..'Comment

Re: is a full stack really necessary?

Re: is a full stack really necessary?
Uh I would haul my 4x12 with me.
I like the extra dimension of 4x12's.
And with a ply cab it is not that heavy and it has little wheels

Re: is a full stack really necessary?
I play on two 112 cabs and I can get more than loud enough to piss off any club owner, bartender or sound guy. Deafness is also a serious possibility, but I try and keep it reasonable.
Since Im running 90 watts a side, a guess I could run four 412 cabs but that would be silly. Afterall it only takes 112 to feed a microphone.www.soundclick.com/failedgrace

Re: is a full stack really necessary?
Apart from major arenas and outdoor venues (and even then, I don't think you NEED it), I can't think of a single situation where more than a 4X12 is needed, I agreeOriginally posted by xerxes'No matter how hot and sexy any woman looks, some guy, somewhere, is tired of putting up with her sh#t..'Comment
