Low end on 2x10 cab

How about a pair of 2x10s ? Modular sort of thing....

Quieter band stuff, single cab, bigger venues  add another.

Anyone have any experience with this kind of set up ?

It’s ideal, IMO. I use 2x10 combo, which is plenty for most gigs. But with the added 2x10 extension, it’s just bigger and better, and not just from a loudness POV. 
Agreeing with what’s already been said, one 2x10 will likely do, but 2 of them has everything covered.

Can they produce enough low end or do they become farty/distorted easier then say a 4x10 or 1x15.

Yes.. but some of them no.  There's no logical reason why a 1x15 would fart/distort at higher levels than a 2x10.

 

I mainly play rock/punk so won't need extreme amounts of low frequencies. 

If you don't need 'extreme' amounts of low end does your amp have the ability to high pass the signal?  If yes then lots of cabs will do what you want inc 1x12's.

 

Or would it be worth changing out speakers? 

Not unless your cab is designed around the replacement driver specs or you buy speakers to match the cab dimensions.

 

One of my 2x10 cabs was more than enough for most pub gigs; 2 was often overkill but when stacked vertically they were the match for any cab(s) in pure volume.
