Re: Would a 2x10 cab be a good way to reduce the low end in a bassy amp?
All things being equal, sure a 10" cab. will have less bass than a 12".
Thats true for bass drivers as well.
In general a 10" cabinet will be tighter..punchier.
An open backed ten inch cabinet will be looser and have more 0f a lively responsive tone.
Once you start getting very bass heavy speakers and multiple drivers along with ported cabinets you'll get some very heavy bass, same as with a smaller closed back 2x12 with normal speakers.
