Re: Speakers for Increased Bass

I'm thinking G12T-75's? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
The 2203 is naturally a really bassy head with loads of low end grunt.

I use my 800 with G12T-75's and they are decent. Im gonna swap one out for a vintage 30.

How old are your valves... they can become thin sounding over time.

The Vintage 30's, G12T-75's G12K-100's... all have a lot of low end.

If you want an AC/DC tone your best going for Greenbacks or Heritage 30's. These deliver that vintage tone

The G12T-75 can be quite harsh on the treble but have lots of low end.

You looking at getting a new cab? because 12 inch speakers wouldnt fit into your 4*10 without modification.
