1x12 or 2x12?

Yep,

They basically said that some of the music in the video was similar enough to the original that it is believed to be a copy Phrasing, perhaps??? But, certainly not tone.

Did you play material from another artist? It doesn’t matter how closely you duplicated another’s material in terms of sound. It only matters if you played it. If I played “Rock You Like A Hurricane” on the flute it would still get a copyright strike, even though it wouldn’t sound like any recording the Scorpions ever made. I would have still played the song. Intellectual property is tied to the song, not how the song is played.

Now, if you only played small sections and provided some commentary, you may be able to claim fair use and get the strike removed.

Or, maybe if you explain that it was part of an equipment demo you may be able to claim fair use. I’m not sure, though.

The main objection is:
with 2X EVM speakers the 2X12 is just too heavy. I know from personal experience.
The EVM speaker is one of the few that's worth paying for...

Interesting note
EVM frequency response in 1X12 TL806 cab is patterned after a 4X12 cabinet. The lows are extra chunky beefy.

Instead:
2. Then you could think about using Neo magnet speakers which are under 5 Lbs. each.
(A 200W neo speaker is 5 pounds)
If you do that, the 2X12 becomes more realistic in weight but still sort of bulky.

3. And for that reason I would build 1X12 cabs, and install EVMs.
Or build 1X12 cabs and use Neo speakers.
The weight and the bulky of the 2X12 cabinet is just becoming too much to move.

I already have two speakers. A Celestion Creamback Neo and a Celestion Alnico Gold.

Hey AMPMAD,

I was pondering a Modular idea with respects to 1x12 EVM type loaded cabs.

Take for example my 8 ohm speakers. Could one build 2- 8 ohm speaker cabs, and then play them either as one speaker on certain occasions, , 2 speakers spread out as someone suggested, or as a 2x12 if wired up to operate as one 16 ohm cab wired with a jack/switch/a/b splitter option that essentially converts the two 8 ohm cabs into one 16 ohm setup?

Yes. You could daisy chain them and use them either as a 2x12 @16 ohms, or @4 ohms depending on how you connect them.

I would go for closed back cabinets because the low frequency is better.
As opposed to a lighter weight open back cabinet, which loses the low frequency.
Other that that you can port the cabinet baffle board to gain some frequency advantage.

So you gain some weight with a closed back cab.
You lose some weight with a neo speaker.
You lose some weight building the cab from 13mm thick material instead of 20mm.

Yes you can make series / parallel jacks on a cab to get 8 ohms, 4 ohms parallel or 16 in series.
Some people just have a separate speaker series box adapter to get 16 ohms.

If a tube amp has a 4 ohm out already you don't need to worry. Won't make any difference.
If a solid state amp runs at 4 ohms, it does run hotter compared to 8 or 16 ohms. The SS amp has no load matching like a tube amp does.

I would worry, AMS, Ya see. My Main cabs are 4x12 STEREO 300 watt cabs @ 16 ohm. I prefer to set my AMP and Cab and leave them set once and FOREVER. On my 300 Watt Mono/ 1960A switchable cabinet, I tape over the switch and the other jack hole in the jack plate. This way I can only use that cab as a 16 ohm ALWAYS. Same for the 1972 Marshall JMP, 1978 Marshall JMP Superlead, and Laney AOR Pro Tube Lead 50.

Basically I shoot to make my stuff Dummy proof. I like to be set up idiot proof, so I am the least likely to F up stuff that will make me want to explode from avoidable stupidity.

I was sooooooooooooo pissed like the other week when I reversed the +/- damn Battery JUMPER pack leads on the battery of my 2017 Toyota 4 Runner. I freaking know not to hook up a jumper onto a battery F'n BACKWARDS. BLEW a damn 140A fuse. I now have to take the whole fuse block apart with its numerous interlocking plastic male/female clip type holders, just to unscrew 2 screws to get the fuse out and replace it. If I am able to split the block into it's pieces, I must then somehow squeeze all the wires back in and hope no computer parts got fried.
