Give the low watters a try in a home recording studio, if you haven't already. You might change your mind. I'm not saying they don't get loud, but man there is a difference. Even a 40 watt 1x12 can be difficult and painful to work with in a home studio. It's not just the sound pressure levels, but controlling ambiance and vibrations, and monitoring accurately with the monster roaring in the background. I've done that and had enough of it. I can set up my 15 watt 1x10 Trace Elliot cranked in another room, run long cables under the doors, and monitor through speakers in my control room. And we could converse in a normal tone of voice while I'm doing it.

Does a 5 watt amp sound like a 100 watt amp? Of course not, if you're listening to them live. Stick a mic in front and record each, then compare the recordings. Can you tell which is which? Are you sure about that?

Anyway, the OP was trying to use a 2x12. What's the point of that? I saw that you advocated using a single mic. He's going to put that mic in front of one of those speakers. The other speaker is just adding noise pollution to the studio environment.

Man, I aint even gonna get into how off-base all of that is. Good luck.
 
Not to mention, five watts ain't punk! Thanks, I need it.
 
I'm gonna say this is all just speculation without hearing it

.Record a clip and post it in this thread.
That may very well show us what the problem is.

And for now just use one mic ...... adding extra mics is just more issues to deal with at this point.
Let's get you a decent sound with 1 SM58 first ...... if you don't have that additional mics aren't gonna fix it.

Let's hear what you got and go from there.
