lxxwj Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 Does anyone know any cabs that are small (1x15, 1x12, etc.), light, and most importantly, under 300$ USD? I'm looking for something to pair with a G-K MB200 Ultralight that I can carry with one hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Truckstop Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 Build your own! Everything I can think of would cost more than that. Even if you look second hand! Truckstop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stingrayPete1977 Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 Don't Hartke do some fairly cheap priced cabs? I'm sure I was looking at a brand new 1x12 on eBay before buying my Genz one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I would buy a speaker and make the enclosure out of wood, I'm assuming.. [quote name='stingrayPete1977' timestamp='1342817381' post='1741586'] Don't Hartke do some fairly cheap priced cabs?

3below Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 Get yourself an Eminence 3015 or 3012HO, from the USA so way better price than UK. Checkout Eminence website for designs. 12mm plywood (birch), then get cutting and glueing. Best bang per buck I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lxxwj Posted July 20, 2012 Author Share Posted July 20, 2012 I don't think I'll want to build my own, I don't have any experience or any prior knowledge about the subject whatsoever and I would probably end up getting a bad sound. Hartke looks promising. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirkThrust Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 (edited) How about one of these?

The prices on that Ashdown VS112 make me very happy. Thank you good sir. Only 36$ for shipping too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Musky Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 The [url="http://www.thomann.de/gb/fender_rumble_112.htm"]Fender Rumble 112[/url] might be worth considering as well, though the 500w figure is peak - it's 250w RMS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turns out the rumble is lighter than the Ashdown. This changes everything! Edited July 21, 2012 by lxxwj Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
