Best way to tilt a 2x12 cab back? And what about the head?

Personally, I think the best way would be a baffle board that angles inside the cabinet (bottom edge near the front lip of the cabinet, top edge of the baffle recessed into the cabinet by 2 or 3 inches). It would sit square on the floor, so would the head on top, but the speakers would be angled up towards you.
 
Basemen heads had some kind of plate on the bottom that locked to the cab and then the cabs had tit back legs. I doubt you’ll want to mess with that.

I bought a wire shelf from Lowe’s and only put half of it together. It doesn’t tilt it back but it gets it up higher.

Not sure those kits will work with my particular rig.



The cab is a vertical 2x12 slant. Age old question, is the slanted speaker enough of an angle?
 
The speaker is at floor level and faces straight out

EDIT: posted this without reading it, sorry. one speaker is at floor level and faces straight out, the other is tilted at a modest angle

Maybe I'm not understanding. The top speaker is angled back already roughly at your head? And the bottom speaker is pointed straight out? I'm not sure why you are wanting to tilt it back.

I’ve read arguments that go both ways on whether a slant cab is slanted enough. Just gathering opinions and suggestions.
 
if you were standing about 6 feet away from the cab, and you're not 6'5"+, it looks like you should be able to hear that top speaker ok. if not, it doesn't appear that you would need to tilt it up too much more. seriously, i would get a rubber door stop and slide it under the middle (or two, one at each corner) and then you would have a lot of different adjustment angles you could make. i don't know what kind of amp you're using, or how it fits on the top of that cab, but with the wool covering you should be able to tilt the cab without the amp sliding off. especially if the amp has rubber feet on it.
 
There are a bunch of stands and options for tilting cabs...like this:

You could build something yourself from scrap ply and carpet remnants on the cheap to test it out.
