More, but smaller cabs?

[Mr.T]

Driving home from a gig last night, I was thinking....

If you took a 2x10 cab and made two 1x10 cabs out of it, each being half the size (and having half the port area) of the 2x10
.......would it sound the same?

I looked into it a while ago as I'm building a BFM jack and decided in the end to go for two 1x10s rather than a 2x10. Two 1x10 cabs sound the same as one 2x10 but I think I will find two smaller cabs more useful.

Not sure about the port sizes though!

Thanks.

.... anymore for anymore?

I think that's correct.

I've got a BFM Omni 10 (2 x 10) and wished I'd made 2 of the 10.5 ( 1 x 10 ). The cabinet volume of the 10.5 is half that of the 10 and the port is half the area.

In fact I'm either going to saw my Omni 10 in half or build two BFM Jack 110s. The Omni 10 is a bit of a lump.
