Need advice on a 2x12 for my VH4.

I have a 2010 VH4 that is in dire need of a cab.

When I got it I didn't realize just how big this head is. I plug it into my mesa vertical recto cab 2x12 with V30s and it's much much wider that the cab, it's ridiculous. Sounds great tho.

I don't want to buy a 4x12 because the size is overkill for the stages that I play and it's too much hassle to load in the car, I know I'd end up gigging something else instead out of laziness..

I'm looking for a big 2x12 that sounds good. Again, I love the sound of the vertical mesa, I could get the horizontal one but I'm afraid it would be hard to hear on stage.

I wanted to buy a Diezel 2x12 but they're so hard to come by used. Bogner would be a nice alternative, also with V30s.

Anybody can recommend if a Bogner OS 2x12 closed back with V30s would sound nice? Especially compared to the Mesa vertical 2x12. Or should I just go Diezel? I'd get a retro loaded anyway, I don't play much metal, mostly hard rock stuff.

Thanks!
 
Sell my 2x12 diezel Front loaded in V30 one week ago .......in France so don't be disappointed ....only reason to sell it....buy a 4x12 FL in V30 .....always heard they match particulary well together ...and have to admit that's the case and they worth the price .....

The G12K-100 FL Cabs sound huge.
 
Just get a FL 4x12 and be done with it
Good to go forever . Or a Marshall BV cab
 
I know a 4x12 would flat out sound better but it's just too impractical for actual gigging.
 
I thought my G12K-100 FL sounded bad with my VH2, but V30's sounded amazing 2x12 or 4x12 - just IMO.

Yeah all Diezel. I know many people dig the G12K-100's. In my experience, they didn't jive the VH2. I probably shouldn't have said they sound bad. The V30's were just clearly better for what I was going for (Tool ish sounds).
 
I’ve been using a Friedman horizontal 2x12 with my VH4 for four years. Sounds fantastic and is lighter than my Diezel 4x12 (which I leave at home).
 
Friedman's very hard to come by here (I'm in Europe).

Anbody has an opinion on the ENGL pro 2x12? Sounds more mid-heavy than the Mesa.
