2x8 with a 5" and tweeter.
It has controls on the back for both the tweeter and mid driver.
I played it last night with my upright, AMAZING! It held the low end perfectly without getting out of control or Woofy.
Its a keeper. Now I just need a padded bag for it, any recommendations?
PS this also has the tilt hardware and rubber feet on two different sides! |

Measure it up accurately (handle location, handle cutout size, etc.) and then contact either Tuki or LeCover (my preference) for a high quality, custom made padded cover. |

I've had these two for a long time, and, have a 4x8+horn as well.

I would think that 2x8 would be much, much better for DB.

What 8s, 5, & tweeter did you go with? And where'd you do crossovers?

Just curious, how much does this cab weigh? I have two LDS cabs (12/6 and 15/6) and love them both. I have a 1-10 that I use for upright gigs, but this looks (and I'm sure sounds) way better. Would also be curious to know how much these cost..... |

This cab is around 600. |

This cab is around 600. | So you're not certain which specific 8s, 5, & tweeter? Just thinking about possibly doing the same thing. |
