ballsiest 1x10's?

Mr. Allyn
I've been trying to contact you regarding some cabs.
Unfortunately your website seems to be down. Haven't been able to access it for many days now.

I wanted to ask you if you were to build some 12" cabs, would you be able to build them to weigh less than 30lbs?

I'm looking for some really nice 112's but most everything I've come accross that I like weigh over 30lbs and I have a very bad back problem and must keep my rig small. I would buy the 10's but I prefer 12's. I play Blues/Rock with a LMII head (and have a cmd combo). I would either get one cab to play with the combo and/or 2 cabs for the LMII head.

Would 12's be feasible?

Thanks

Louise

;) ... Ha ... yeah well truth is they actually "cost" an incredible 140 more $$$ to produce so I'm not even passing the cost on over the no tweeter version. Originally designed as a single driver only cab several of my modern gospel players requested the addition of a tweeter version. I personally use two standard minis

They are pricy little beast to make!

I generally agree that only one 1x10 is not enough to do a really loud gig. That said I have done small club size gigs with only one with my blues/rock band. I've also been in the audience hearing only one. If you go HERE you can see what I mean. Oh and for you blues fans out there the drummer with Mercury Blvd. is Rod Bland son of legend Bobby "Blue" Bland.

Please forgive the messy website, lots of changes going on


:) ... Oh and thanks for the kind words Tom
 
Well, I've been reading up on the Earcandy.....Frankly, I'm not really impressed......the website looks nice and all the choices make it EYEcandy more than EARcandy as far as I can tell......it doesn't even say what speaker is in the 10"....also....what's in Harmony Central is all very nice but what is in Talbass doesn't inspire one to buy this product......I was really hoping that this would be an option for me but I think I should look elsewhere or just keep my Schroedder cause it doesn't look like 2 x 110's will work out after all.....

It's not quite 400 watts, but it is 350. And you can have it customized to your liking.
