Hi SCREAMON DEMON. Welcome!

I think the reason you aren't being flooded with answers to your other (similar) post on the tech forum (viewtopic.php?f=3&t=43472" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;) isn't because nobody is reading it but because it is a bit like asking 'what is the best guitar for me?' without giving any details of what sort of sounds / music you like etc.

Any of these cabs will sound good with your amp. It is personal taste. Also the 4x10 is very new so very few here will have played it. Not sure exactly how efficient (read loud!) the speakers in it are, so it may or may not be a little less loud than the 2x12s which do have pretty efficient drivers

On the open vs. closed back question, there are tonal differences (mainly tightness or looseness of the bass. But the biggest difference is probably the sound spread.

...the Orange cabs (the closed back ones anyway) are very directional. Almost laser like compared to some others. Which means that unless the speakers are pointing right at you you don't get the full impact. (Unless you can hear with your knees that is.) Chances are high that people out in the audience are getting a MUCH fuller idea of what you are playing than you yourself get on stage. Can be quite deceptive!

Considered adding an open back 2x12 eg the PPC212OB? That would give a much broader spread of sound on stage and let you and the rest of the band hear your guitar way better.

Ultimately you need to try the cabs yourself (with your amp!) and decide which sounds / feels best to you. Weight may also be an issue. Orange cabs are pretty massively built compared to most others and you will have to shift them so it may be an issue. In that case the OB is a bit lighter than the standard PPC212 and with its good sound spread may be the way to go.

Hope that helps a little anyway.

I 've got the 2x12 closed back , and the 4x12 .
With the same head ( ROCKERVB 100W) it's better to go in the 4X12 , of course.
But, as it was said, the cabinet goes with one head !!
So, the result comes from your cabinet AND your head.
But, nevertheless, the 4X12 is a little more straight, more "medium", a little more "dark"
and less shrill, than its neighbour
