so many guitar cabs...so many choices...

so I've recently invested in an agile 9 string. my main guitar before this was a bc rich 6 string. the lowest i played was drop a#. the 9 goes way down to c#. so my question is what brand of cab is good for the low end? i have a marshal mg412a right now and it obviously doesn't cut it. i was thinkin about the randall rs125cx which is a 2x12 and a 1x15 but i cant seem to find one for sale anywhere near me and the ones that are for sale are local pickup only. i was contemplating running a bass cab but from what i understand they require a bit more power than a standard guitar cab. and i don't wanna risk harming my amp. the marshal cab i have is a bit smaller than most cabs for some reason. i was also thing about buying a fullsize cab and swapping the speakers. any suggestions on good speakers that can handle the low end but still produce clean highs? thanks for your time.

Low tunings require big, expensive amps. Marshall MG cabs won't do it. I would use a Fender Rumble bass amp or a vintage Sunn or Peavey rig if i was in your shoes.

Mesa 412. Add a tight 15" speaker if you really need some chug.

my first thought was a mesa or a krank. the ones I've found near me are outrageously expensive. minimum $800. a bit out of my price range at the moment. lol
