Well, the conversion of the 3-12" cabinet into a 2-10" + 2-12" is complete. I will let the pictures do the talking. In summary, I made a new baffle board, installed new grill cloth, and used (2) Carvin PS12-8 (same as Eminence Delta's), and 2 Fender- Eminence 10's (same as Eminence BP102 Legends). 10's and 12's are wired separately. And, it sounds AWESOME !!

Thank you Steve ! I will be using it for bass. My original plan was to use both of my K200 heads (a B1 & a B5) - one for the 10's and one for the 12's. This has been problematic ! I have tried all sorts of ways (channel bridging, y-cords, line out) to couple these heads, and none have proven satisfactory. If I add any amount of volume (past 3), the heads go microphonic, and feedback like crazy. The line out actually worked the best, going into the imput of the other head, but the problem still persists. And, they do not like being stacked on top of each other - they hum like crazy ! I will figure something out, because the cabinet sounds awesome. I was looking for a tight, punchy sound, with strong fundamentals - and it delivers !!

I can understand the hum happening when you stack the heads as the power transfomers are them pumping their 60 Hz magnetic flux into each others circuits, but the Microphonics is odd.
I will put some thought into the problem and get back to you.
