Sound is bigger and there is more low end like Bogdan said. More air is being moved. Now I'm no acoustics expert so I can really elaborate but trust me - 4x12 sounds a lot better than 1 speaker. 4x12 requires space to develop it's sound, so on a medium stage it is good to use it, but on a small stage in a confined space, it is unlikely that the sound will be that good.

I agree Juan. When I said low end I thought about the sound from the cab itself. With a mic you can make it bassy on the PA so there it no problem. 2x12, or even 1x12 will serve enough with proper monitoring and PA anywhere.
I do believe however, that it is pretty hard to make 1x12 to sound like 4x12, when miced. 4x12 has different sound, harmonics, sound physics is different etc. This post has been edited by Ivan Milenkovic: Aug 28 2008, 11:59 AM -------------------- - Ivan's Video Chat Lesson Notes HERE

It is a matter of getting the sound that you want. A 4x12 cab produces a much bigger sound compared to a 2x12 or other cabs. Even the size of the cab has an influence on the sound, my Boogie cabs for example are bigger than regular 4x12 Marshall cabs, and they deliver a MUCH more powerful sound.
