I was going to suggest this two stack idea, saves the original 25 from hacksville and leaves more room for the bass to develop. Otherwise you're in 860 territory with that 12 stuffed into an R2D2 cab. Cutting louvers are an art and needs finesse to accomplish even though you'll not get the original style without the tool. As with anything, the more things change, the more they remain the same. More parts to haul around or one larger whole. The Studio 12 was brought up last week. I think Hammond listens to forums like ours.. Depending on how much bass you need is dictated by the music you play. A full band with a bass player doesn't really need the total output of a 122 tall boy. In fact some FOH guys use an SM57 on the lower rotor to get the Leslie to sit better in the mix instead of the traditional RE20 or AKG D112 etc. And a 142/145 does fine for many shows. So is bass really that critical? A 12 could do, if left alone in its original space if you mic it.

I have done this with both a Leslie 825 and 130 but constructed a separate top unit for both. That way I have 2 lighter pieces to carry rather than one heavier one and can always remove the top to sell either Leslie as original stock. Either way if you seal the bass section as much as possible, line with damping like lambs wool or that pillow stuffing stuff or even add a bass port you should get some good bass. Adding a 15" would help as well IMHO. My 130's bass with the stock 12" speaker and all the additions mentioned has my wife complaining that it shakes the whole house....success!
