Suggestions for a cab? (For a GK 700rb head)

joshmmorrison · #1 01-30-2011, 12:25 AM

I just picked up the GK 700RB (found it for $250! i was shocked, and couldn't pass it up)

it's Bi-amp, 480w speaker 50w horn. 4ohms.

Any suggestions for a cab?

My price range is about $300, I am not opposed to used, and if it's a little more i'm willing to save up and get it.

Thank you!

Is it the RBII?

You could get a quote from RMC Audio for the GK112 neo....... You could probably land one for just a little bit more than your $300 budget. And keep an eye on the classifieds here for one.

Although I have'nt played one out of every cab config, just about all the cabs I have tried sound good with an RB700II. Like the MB F1, the 700 sounds really good right out of the box. And, that 480 watts is very underrated, imho.

How loud do you need to be?

Small gigs--used 210 or 212
Large gigs --used 410

The GK heads sound good with anything, imo. I had good luck with my Bag End cabs when I had a GK 700RB.

most cabs will sound very good with that head, but to use the bi-amp function, I think you need a GK cab.

Here you can read some things ... the same topic is going on:

GK top + Fender/Warwick box? will it work?

Yep. the RBH cabs let you take full advantage of the bi-amp function. FWIW-possibly in the market myself for the 115RBH.

ljazz - yeah it's the RBII. I'll look into the gk112 neo!

jnewmark - i fell in love with it instantly, i went in to check out some heads. I saw this thing and tried it out, then looked at the price and was amazed. i love the sound already.

Jasper383 - Im thinking i want to start out with a 212 or a 210, then pick up a 410 later. so for now one of the smaller ones

lawrence2 - thanks for the link, i'm checking it out.

Seems like the general consensus is that i have lots of options. This is both cool, but sucks at the same time because it means decisions have to be made haha

Thanks guys, i really appreciate it. and if anyone else has any input on what they've used i'd love to hear it.

Good. Either a GK Neo 212-II (4 ohms) if you want only a single cab - or a pair of GK Neo 112-IIs - if you prefer a more modular system.

Either way, you won't have to save up very much. You can't go wrong. Just get 'em...
