I have 2 8ohm Green Berets in my 4x12 cab already, just lookng for a recommendation for what you think the other 2 speakers should be. Looking for something with more low end than the very mid GBs.I play a Custom Hiwatt 50. Loud rock type stuff. Thanx!
2 Green Berets and ? for 4x12

I'm going to say probably either ET65's or Reapers
OK, I'm really surprised that this pairing isn't even mentioned here!
I just loaded my old '80's Carvin 4X12 with a pair of Retro 30's and Green Beret's in an "X" pattern...Holy Crap! It sounds amazing! Waaay better than the ET65/Retro 30 pairing that was in there before.
The ET65/Retro mix was a little dull and bassy with not too much definition.
The Retro/GB pairing is bright, articulate and razor sharp with a little hair around the edges. Just a killer combo.
BTW - I was going to try the "ET65/GB thing" in the cab, but I'm not even going to bother experimenting with that combo. I'm blown away at how good the Retro's and GB's sound together!
Cool ... and thanks a bunch (!!) for taking the time to report your findings here ... where we ALL can learn from it!
"johnnylaundry", is that one of the new HiWatts? Saw them at NAMM and was blown away at the meticulous wiring & construction ... so I've been jonesin' to play one ever since. Of course, the old ones are legendary, too...
No its a 1978 Custom 50. Update....i ended up just getting 2 more GB's for my Carvin cab. Very happy.
Thank you Vaughn and all at WGS for making such great AND affordable speakers!
