They could have called it Horse Meat!Yeah, I'll be honest. The name doesn't do it any favors. The sport and game are pretty good though. Just wish it didn't have a "joke" name like that.

If you're going for the look of the stack, get the matching one; if you have to spend a little more it won't kill you. I fully understand the 'decor' aspect of this stuff.the 2x12 is longer than the 1x12 - Any thoughts on stacking with the open 2x12 on the bottom, closed 1x12 on top, should I decide I *need* a new cab?
Matching, check! All Mesa, just pyramid or column. The Mesa cabs are solid, even if I end up changing or adding amp brands.If you're going for the look of the stack, get the matching one; if you have to spend a little more it won't kill you. I fully understand the 'decor' aspect of this stuff.
If it's really about the tone difference, why not simply put the cabs side by side and not worry about stacking them (assuming you have the space)?
Even though I'm mad for decor, a 1x12 on top of a 2x12 of the same front-to-back depth, or a deeper bottom cab, wouldn't bother me at all. But this is personal taste. I wouldn't stack a deeper cab on top of one that's narrower front-to-back, both for safety and appearance reasons.
If I was anywhere near earthquake country there's no way I'd stack two cabs and a head regardless. Seems like a recipe for disaster.
Why would it be backwards? There aren't any rules about this stuff.The 2x12 is like 4ā longer than the 1x12, a big difference. It just puts the closed cab on top of the open, which I think is backwards?
Not really.Does it really matter?
I donāt know. The whole āfloor couplingā thing with the closed cab. I think Iād rather it didnāt couple anyway.Why would it be backwards? There aren't any rules about this stuff.
Nope.
I did edit my post to mention the so-called floor coupling before I saw this (really it's half space reinforcement unless you hear the structure itself vibrating).I donāt know. The whole āfloor couplingā thing with the closed cab. I think Iād rather it didnāt couple anyway.
Glad for the ānope.ā
I have one more 'add' here:I donāt know. The whole āfloor couplingā thing with the closed cab. I think Iād rather it didnāt couple anyway.

I'm trying to catch up but think I'm getting dizzy... first, you say you have the closed one and refer to the open as sibling... Do you mean the front ported widbody one?Main topic? Iām now looking for a Mesa wide body open 1x12 to stack with its closed body sibling. That seems my best compromise. It just figures I sold one about 6-8 months ago. If anyone in the SF Bay Area has a nice one , let me know! There are new ones, but Iām not finding local used ones.
Your confusion is understandable, Iām all over the map. I currently have the 23ā widebody, closed, front ported 1x12. Mesa now lists that as a recto since Gibson bought them out. I had, and (stupidly) sold, and now want again, the 23ā widebody open 1x12.I'm trying to catch up but think I'm getting dizzy... first, you say you have the closed one and refer to the open as sibling... Do you mean the front ported widbody one?
If I had that and an open back of the same dimensions and speakers, I'd want the closed (ported) on the bottom and the open back on the top. But if you have a 1x12 Recto, not a widebody, then yes, the open back widebody will be winder than that, and I wouldn't put that on top because of that.
What? That's just FOOLISH. You don't take long term products and start calling them the name of another long term product. This may sound silly, but to fans of the brand, this has to look ridiculous... renaming an established product is one thing, but to just start calling one product by another established products name... kind of clownish if you ask me. Which I guess you didn't.Mesa now lists that as a recto since Gibson bought them out.
Looking at their site, they seem to be heading to:What? That's just FOOLISH. You don't take long term products and start calling them the name of another long term product.
