lagartortazo Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 (edited) Hello, my first post here, thank you for letting me join this great community. I'm buying soon a 112 cabinet, I will use it with a 250w @ 8ohm little head I have, most of the times on little gigs at pubs, but I need to be sure that I will have enough volume and deep tones, also very important, it has to be something small and easy to transport. My budget is around 350€, don't want to buy a second hand thing nor saving more money for Markbass, Aguilar... or similar, and I have no possibility of triying it before ordering. So these are the choices I'm considering: *Fender rumble 112 v3: always liked fender sound, they look nice, and I know the new combos have nice reviews, but I haven't heard so much about using the cabs alone, they seem to be used more as a combo extension, am I right? *EBS classic line 112: the price has gone up lately, but, I think I could buy it for the old price in one shop. Good opinions also, but 94db in the specs are stopping me at the moment. *Eden EX112: good price and small size, but no idea about the sound and the volume, maybe I'm wrong, but it looks a bit "cheap" *Warwick WCA 112 lightweight: 300w, 97db (not bad!) but a bit bigger and heavier than the others. Is there another one that I'm missing? Wich one would you choose in my situation and why? Any kind of help will be appreciated, thank you so much!

Oldman Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 http://www.tecamp.de/en/products/cabinets/57-xs-112.html#specifications The previous XS112 has a black grill and Neo speaker, light with bite and at 99db a good choice IMO. Depending where you are geographically speaking you might pick up a discontinued XS112 Neo at a good price. Good hunting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Fitzmaurice Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 Which has the highest excursion/driver displacement? That's what limits low frequency output. It's a bit of a trick question, since none of the listed examples tell you what their driver excursion limit/displacement is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xgsjx Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 Markbass used to, but last time I looked in their site I couldn't find that info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lagartortazo Posted May 10, 2015 Author Share Posted May 10, 2015 Maybe I should look for more information about that TKS, all comments I've heard say it is great, if the price is not too high, it could be what I'm looking for, Thanks everybody!

terocious Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 +1 TKS 112 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just about on budget, small, light, powerful and good-sounding I'd still advise looking at second-hand cabs on here though. Some great deals to be had, which brings stuff like Aguilar and Barefaced into your budget range... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldman Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 You will, be driven by your budget and compromise accordingly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
