I want to build a 1x12 for My Mark V head...

[Triple Cheeseburger]

and i was thinking of using the lonestar wide 1x12 dimensions, chucking in a greenback 75w copy (i wont be using 90w for this cab)

i dont think ill be using it for high gain too much, just clean and bluesy tones for my bedroom as my 4x12 is a bit of overkill and my parents and neighbours are getting pissed.

think this will suit?

Building a 1x12 i would go for the thiele parameters and use an evm 12L or an eminence delta pro 12a. They are both powerful enough to handle anything the mark v can throw at them.

It isn't the 4x12 that's getting you in trouble. The master volume works with those cabinets, too.

Just remember that the Greenback will sound much different than a C90 or a V30. I would definitely NOT use a GB or GB clone by itself for any distortion. But for clean and just on the edge of break-up, it should do fine.

I tried a BUNCH of speakers with my Mark V when I got it (V30, GB, Anniversary, EVM 12L), and the best sounding speaker was the Eminence Delta Lite II Neo. It does the clean, crunch, and high gain equally well.

haha i hear you. the sweet spot is just a little to far up though! i can have reasonable volume but the 4x12 is overkill

yeah i plan on using it just for clean and slight break up.
