You would need around six of the full stacks on your side of the stage for full effect.............................:crazyguy

From http://www.thewho.net/whotabs/marshallstack.htm

Pete urged Marshall to develop an actual “stack,” an 8x12 cabinet. Delivered in November 1965 (first known use is 13 November, 1965, at La Locomotive Club, Paris, France), the 8x12s would pair up with the 100w amplifiers to create an imposing backline. The 8x12s featured an angled top portion and a straight profile for the remaining six speakers. These cabinets actually had an open back to the top portion, closed on the bottom. For the most part, these cabinets had all the features of today’s “stack,” but proved unwieldy with their weight and size. Marshall only made six of these 8x12s, four going to The Who and two to the Small Faces. Two weeks later, Pete returned to Jim Marshall asking for the stacks to be cut in half. Although Marshall indicates they couldn’t be divided because of butt joints, as seen in photos, at least some of the cabinets were cut in half to increase portability — as well as make knocking the top cabinet over easier during the destruction finale.

Pete got tired of hauling the cab around.

Yup. Seen that going around quite a bit.

Of course, he'll need a p***s extender truck to haul it around in...

i have a couple of those crate stacks in my bedroom. they make for decent practice amps, but if i need to play live i usually find that if i look up and can actually see the head on top of the cabs, its not big enough.

With those amphs, one should play this guitar:

And look like the tiniest guitarist in the universe.

Actually, I once knew this well-under-three foot tall drummer. He was so small he played his kit almost on his back and his toms were actually facing DOWN from over the kickdrum so he played them from below.
