I find the “X” misleading.

Do you know the sensitivity spec for both speakers? If the 12 has greater sensitivity, I don't know what you'd be able to do to fix it.

Probably not what you are asking since I assume you want a solution with the speakers you currently have but ...
More efficient 10" or lower ohm 10" with higher ohm 12". 8 ohm 10" with a 16 ohm 12", in parallel, will get you 5.3 ohm load. 2/3 power would go to the 10", 1/3 to the 12". All else being equal, it amounts to about a 3 db bump to the 10". If the amp can do 4 ohms, it will be fine. Amp set at 8 ohms would be fine as well. It's not much of a mismatch either way. I'd probably set the selector to 8 ohms. Assuming it's a tube amp.

Put an L-pad on the 12". Dial it down 'til it's balanced.

I personally enjoy the idea of a 10 BY 12" cab. A 10" and 12" cab is ok.

I know your eye is drawn to the massive stack, but the regular size stack is running a 4x12 on top of a 2x15. Did Crate ever actually produce that combination of cabs before? Reminds me of the Randall Warhead stack, but their 2x15 was ported.

Re: 10X12 cabinet - definitely interesting
i think crate did put out the 2x12 for a while.
as far as the 1x10/1x12 cab... i have a combo like that and i love it. the 10" is an alnico weber 10a150t, the big 40oz magnet helps it keep up with the 12". if you have a small magnet 7oz alnico, it wont keep up even with a fairly inefficient 12"

I we should all agree that when multiple speaker sizes are used, we just put a / between them.

I'd love to find a Marshall 4x15 cab.

You need to look up the efficiency (dB) of each speaker. Different Weber 10s amd 12s have different efficiencies... although they mostly tend to be lower than most Celestions and Eminences, so experimenting with different 12's is probably not going to help
Probably change the 10... or maybe halfopen it behind the 12

That makes me think it has a 22 inch speaker.
I say this situation is perfect for the underutilized ampersand. 10&12 cab.
