First Cab Question/High-Speed Shootout

BrentD · #1 05-09-2010, 01:03 PM

I went looking for a used cab with a budget of only about $200. Found two locally: a Peavey TVX 115 EX (NOS, 4-ohm, Black Widow, $199) and a GK 410 BLX-II (Backline Series, used, 8-ohm, $189). They also had a GK RBX cab (4x10") that was very nice, and on sale, but above my budget at $349 (NOS).

Head is a GK Backline 600.

So, I'm going to check back in an hour, but what are your ideas? Opinions? Rantings?

Go for the 4x10.

Its an 8ohm cab, but has more speaker area than the 15. That way you'll be louder for now, and you still have the ability to add a second cab later on if you want. If you buy the single 15 @ 4ohms, that's it. If you want to add a cab you either have to sell off the 15 or buy a different head.

1st) Over budget RBX
2nd) Peavey TVX
3rd) BLX-II
Just noted it also fallowed the pricing?

Just noted the 4 ohm on the Peavey, switch 2nd and 3rd!
