Would it work with just the 1x12? I don't know what the ratings are on
the cabs but, from your description of how you pair the cabs, I'd
guess each probably has an 8 ohm rating and you can *probably*
interchange them.

It also depends how loud your rehearsals are. If they really need to
be loud, you probably need to live with two cabs (or perhaps look for
a 15?). If the volume isn't too high, how does it work using EQ to
thicken up the sound? There are physical limits to how much you can
create the illusion of a phat sound when you are facing real world
physics but you can do a lot more in a low volume situation than when
you need to crank up the power to really move some air.
