Building a 2x cabinet

[Kemmons]

Hi all,
I am building a Ceriatone Breme Brulee. It is 15 watt amp that will be run at half power most of the time (7 watts). I will use it for recording and for my band which plays at really really low volumes. I will need to build a cabinet as I don't want to run it as a combo. I was thinking a 2x10 or a 2x12 or possibly a 10" and a 12". I can't afford a 4x10. I don't need volume! I need full rich sound. Full bass with definition in it and I want more complexity and fullness compared to one 12". My big thing is I want the chime to come through. I want it to have some clarity when playing rhythm but also not sound thin when playing lead. I am debating between Weber and Eminence. I can afford two Blue Dogs or two Red Fangs (those both sound amazing). I also liked the Weber Ceramic 1225 British series. Other Eminence I liked - Governor and the Wizard.

One other thought to let you know what I am looking for sound. I have silverface Fenders (Deluxe and Princeton) and a Gibson GA-5T. I am love the bright sound from these. I want something very different than these as I have those to use already. I want something British sounding, lush or even dark.

I think a closed cabinet to emphasize the bass?

Suggestions?

Thanks!
Kevin

Choose your wiring first, to determine the correct speaker impedance to buy, regardless of what brand you like. Wiring them in series decreases the voltage across each speaker by 1/2, so there is a 6dB penalty in output level, but doubling the area increases 6dB, so you have the same net loudness as a single speaker.
Wiring in parallel puts the same voltage across each speaker, and doubling the area boosts 6dB, yielding a +6dB net boost ( a louder cabinet for the same input). If you don't want any boost, go with series wiring and purchase speakers at half the impedance your amp needs. If you are looking for a compact size, you see there is no advantage in two speakers if you wire them in series.
As for the bass - a closed back works. I'll be trying the same experiment in a month or so, but I intend to make a couple backs (open, 3/4, and full) to check the same thing. I'd bet with different speakers and different cabinet sizes that results would vary.
