It came for free with an amp, and has a 15” speaker. two input jacks.
no tag, nothing.
possibly homebuilt although it looks sturdy, and very well put together.

don’t want to tear apart to see inside....

thanks for checking it out

Older Hartke cabs had that thick false edge like that. And used those type of corner brackets and carpet.

Original grill might been removed. And the car stereo basket added later.
Or this was a factory proto type.

I bought a bunch of GK prototype cabs back in the day for cheap. Same edge same carpet. But just black painted baffles. Doesn't look like GK or various employee builds ive seen from that shop

Anyhoo looks like hartke hardware but Hughes and Ketner , crate and carvin also used carpeted false front cabs like that.

If this isn't a actual company model. It could be a prototype or employee build.

DIY (look at the mismatched corners for starters, and lack of any labeling on the jack plate), but maybe not homemade. My guess is generic cab from eBay or something similar. If you don't look inside you'll never know definitively, but that may well be true even if you do.
