Just recently threw a Man O War in my Vader 2x12 to go with the existing custom Legend. Don't know why I didn't do something like this sooner. Added that extra touch of crunch and high end I wanted while the Legend is still keeping a nice thick, tight low end

So far, I can't find any drawbacks with mixing speakers in a 2x12

the one drawback I found was that if you amp sounds harsh through a mixed speaker cab, it can be REALLY hard to pinpoint which speaker is causing the worst of that freq range, which is ultimately why I got the 10 band EQ.

The only thing to watch out for is differing speaker efficiencies.

That being said you can go to ~3dB without any issues but I find it's always best to get a closer match.

Also if you want a link slapping on there shoot me a PM

It seems very interesting. Where can i get it? Please give me information about it.
