I'm making a 2x12 cab. What do y'all suggest for a speaker combo? I was going to go with eminence (Wizard/Cannibus Rex or Wizard/Ragin' Cajun), but I figured i'd see what you gearheads think 1st.

Totally depends upon what kinda tone you're chasing.

That said, Eminence are a really good bang for the buck, and there are plenty of models to choose from. Combining different models in the same cab as you're considering opens up a world of possibilities, too.

Yeah kinda depends on what you're going for but I highly recommend a V30/G12H30 combo. Have the same in my 412 in an X and its fantastic.

Going soundwise for something that doesn't fart too hard when I run my AX87 5w tube head, with my big muff or my OCD pedal. I've read stuff in forums but no one posts the configuration stuff on youtube. I'd like to hear what different speakers paired together sound like with a good distortion. But being that this forum is the purveyor of doom heads like myself, I figured I would see what you guys think.

I also dig the V30/G12H30 combination for Doomy stuff.

The Wizard is Eminence's take on the G12H30.

The Governor is their "Vintage 30."

I can't imagine a 2x12 loaded with one of each is gonna sound much different than with the Celestions they're aping.

Ha! very true but i'm a player on a tight budget so eminence is the way to go for me. I've always liked their speakers. What about the Cannibus Rex speaker?

The Eminences are voiced slightly darker, in my experience. I tend to prefer the breakup once you really get them singing.

I've got the Governors on my 2x12 - they're cool, but I was initially going to get one of those from your shortlist too. This was just readily available and I was in a hurry.
