Recently sold my Egnater 4x12 loaded with vintages to try to downsize my setup [I'm not about hauling a 98lb cab any more after 5 years of that].

My question is what would be a good 2x12? I run an Elevenrack through the ISP stealth power amp.

The ISP's specs are this.
Output Power Mono: 4Ω=75WRMS@1% THD/ 90WRMS@10%
8Ω=45WRMS@1% THD / 60WRMS@10%
Output Power Bridged: 8Ω=140WRMS@1% THD / 175WRMS@10%
16Ω=80WRMS@1% THD/ 106WRMS@ 10%

I was looking at the EVH 2x12 but it was rated at 60 watts so I guess that would be out of the question.

So I was wondering what would you guys suggest that would be a good much. The music for my current project I'm starting is heavier alternative rock but I also play prog, and metal and experiment with lowered tunings.

I just don't want to blow any speakers considering the power amp I'm using lol

Bang for the buck you might look around for either a used OR new Jet City (Mike Soldano btw) 2x12.. or a used Peavey 6505 or triple X 2x12 cabs..
My FAVE 2x12.. although quite large and over engineered for a 2x12 is the Genz Benz G-Flex 212 they did as a George Lynch sig cab.. 2 75 watters wire stereo AND mono with a ported bass reflex.. metal grille insulated in ints own foam lined channel so it doesn't rattle.. a MONSTER cab.. BUT.. speaking as someone with an awful neck and back.. they are HEAVY and LARGE..aka a PITA to move around.
