Differens between one and 2 cabs

[waaldijkh]

Hi, I have this question. I own a phil jones c4. 4 5inch speakers. NowI wonder what wouls be the difference between one cab or a second one. Not specially the phil jones cab, but in general. I know thers is more volume, because the ohm is lower. But besides that. More bass perhaps?

1 cab includind 2 is always biger and more weight, i prefer 2 cabs the same as 1 complete cab. You can always use one in small gigs and choice for need both in a biger gig.

I use PJB cabs and can confirm that an additional one will give you more of everything and a much fuller sound. I have two C4s and three 4Bs. Two C4s is my go to compact rig for most occasions. 4Bs are more old school sounding - a little softer and fuller, but without some of the midrange punch of the C4s. I like them when playing with my soul band, for example.

 

As you know, PJB cabs are quite inefficient and take some driving, but your PJB head should have plenty enough grunt to power an extra cab. I occasionally use a C4 with a Berg' single 12 (no tweeter - don't like them for bass). I like the combination. It goes surprisingly loud and the clarity of the C4 complements the 12 nicely. You would really need to experiment if you wish to add a different type of cab to your C4 to find one that works well with it. An additional C4 is a safe choice that you can be certain will work.
