It seems that there is a concensus when it comes to FL vs. RL with the Diezel 4x12 when using a Herbert...

Now, what speakers???

The V30's or the 100K's???
 
G12K100's are the most neutral and transparent and sound great at pretty well any volume.

Just my 2 cents.

In a nutshell, K100's are going to deliver the tone of the amp the best with as little coloring of the tone from the speaker's own characteristics as possible.

A speaker like the V30 is at the other end of the spectrum, it has a ton of it's own characteristics which are the super strong mids and presence. The K100's are darker and maybe a hair tighter, neutral sounding really does sum them up once you've tried different speakers.

Keep in mind that Peter Diezel tested and tuned the Herbert while using a cab with V30's, from my understanding.

I just a few hours ago pulled 2 V30's out of my Mesa cab and did the X pattern in my Diezel FL and the first 5 minutes of playing I could tell a noticeable difference, for the better. It gave the sound just a hair more crunch, but not over bearing like a 412 V30 cab can be that people complain about. Very crunchy yet I can still hear the smoothness and clarity of the two remaining 100's. The V30/K100 "X" is what I would go with if I were you.
 
I would not go all K100s. Their bass response is huge and much better than the V30, but Herbert itself hasnt as much mids as a VH4. To my ears the mix of V30s and K100s is the best of both worlds ;-)

I have my cab build with the V30s on the one side and the K100s on the other.
So I can use it as a 2x12 as well, makes it very flexibel :thumbsup:
