Which Mark IV configuration would you prefer?

[nosajwp]

I'm looking at getting a Mark IV, and it will be gigged some, and wanted to know what 2-speaker configuration you guys would choose.

Mark IV head + 1x12 cab + 1x12 cab
Mark IV head + 2x12 cab
Mark IV combo + 1x12 cab

Mark IV short head + two 1x12 Thiele cabs with EVM-12L's.

What t0aj15 said, except I prefer the C90 to the EV.

Would the Thiele's apply for outdoor gigs as well? Any thoughts on the 1x12 or 2x12 3/4 backs?

For them which knows, i would like to know which cabinet has more Low End response, a Recto 2x12 Closed back, or a 2x12 3/4 back or a 2x12 Thiele ?

You have to be careful in using two thiele cabs only as they are very directional. I have had situations that depending on the stage size and my position relative to the amp/cabs, I could just not hear my self, yet was projecting quite loudly into the crowd.

I solved that by pairing the thiele with an open back.

That combo worked quite well for me.
