well ive been using this shitty ass b52 cab for the past 4 years. i dont know if you guys have played through one but it sounds like ass. i just picked up a 5150 head and it still sounds a little muddy. anyways i found what i think is a pretty good deal.

http://cgi.ebay.com/Peavey-300-watt...1QQcmdZViewItem

let me know what you guys think... for a $100 thats not bad at all right?

find out what speakers it has first.
also, i dont think ull realy need 300 watt cab, the 5150 is 100 or 120 watts right??

__________________

yeah its 120 watt. im still waiting for a response to see what kind of speakers it has in it. although i wouldnt know whats good and what isnt. i just want a more tight sounding cab thats not as muddy as this b52.

euhm for asfar as i know.

celsetion V30's are good speakers.. so are celestion g12h75 speakers
and im sure theres many more great speakers out there. maybe do a search there should be some threads about, good speakers or, good cabs etc..

ok ill keep that in mind. thanks man. last question. what are some good brands that are kind of unheard of. i dont have much of a budget so im trying to keep it no more than 300.

hmm, i think about every good brand is well known.

but i think u could find some marshall cab with g12h75 speakers, there good cabs IMO and not that expensive 2ndhand

but for under and around 300 u should be able to find sumtin good

I have a vader cab. it's freakin awesome. buy it. now.


now....




BUY IT *_*


no seriously.


buy a vader cab *brainwash brainwash* vader vader......









No seriously You can't go wrong with a vader cab. a marshall 1936 is also a good option. They sound good with almost every amp. avater makes good cabs so I hear

Avatar is an awesome option costwise/quality-wise. I used to know a guitar player who had one, good cabs indeed.

I can also backup SixFeetUnder's comment on Marshall's - I have a 1960 Marshall cab that's been many an amp's bitch and it was amazing everytime.

As for speakers, besides the obvious Celestions, also take into account the Eminence brand. I think they're the next best choice. Randy Rhoads used them - according to him they were 'brighter' than Celestions.

fuck, I ment the 1960 the 1936 is the 2x12 cab. they're both good. I've had a 1960 for 4 yours it never let me down

I have a Marshall Mode 4 cab that I picked up new for 400 euros(550$ approx), might sell for less if bought used too. Now it's a 400W 8 ohm cab that I use with my Engl 60W Fireball, it's a bit of overkill but I couldn't find any other decent cabs(no stores in my area had 1960's in stock plus even a Fender 2x12 was more expensive!) so I ended up buying it. It fucking rules. Super tight bass response and well... it's designed to be used with a Mode 4 amp head so you can imagine the amount of juice it can take! The Celestion GK12 speakers are have a tight hi-fi sound, pronounced lows and highs(which kind of turned me off at first) and sounds wonderful, but you might need some extra EQing if you have a muddy sounding rig.

But if that fails, BUY AN AVATAR CAB. High quality parts + cheap price. Check out www.avatarcabs.com.

I have an avatar 2x12 custom, black metal grill, black tolex, 2 eminence wizards. Saves your back carrying 2x12 as opposed to 4x12. For me weight was an issue as I got the avatar in the u.s while on holidays and shipped it back to Australia. Had to ship in 2 lots to go via u.s post - speakers separate from box - then waited while I went to India. Got home, put together and voila. Well built cabs, can customise, and cheap, so cheap it was less to do the above rigmarole than just buy a piece o shit here. eg mg412 $399au blech
