I wanted a 2x12 until I played the 1x12 that I bought. It has ballz without the extra weight. BUT I'm thinking of adding a 1x12 extension for bigger auditoriums and outdoor gigs.
Honestly, I think the 1x12 does a great job of getting the ED's sound out there. Sounds huge, has plenty of low-end and punch, but weighs less than the 2x12. I haven't ever tried a 2x12, but with the weight that the 1x12 already has, I wouldn't want to lug around the extra weight. I just don't see how the sound could improve enough for that to be worthwhile.

I own a 2 X 12 and while I agree there isn't a significant difference in projection as compared to the 1 X 12, I like to combine different speakers. That is one advantage with the 2 X 12.
The 2 X 12 doesn't seem to be any louder than the 1 X 12 either. As far as miking which speaker in a combination setup, that would be up to the individual. I also own a matching 2 X 12 extension cab. One would think there would be a very noticeable jump in volumn, but the difference was definitely not noticeable.
Try out the head version . Think about all the cab options/choices you will have . It will be easier to move since the weight will be distributed between two pieces .
