I disagree with mike. While the the PV cabs are sure to turn up and are cheep and great, these are tough times for some people. Cruise the craigslists and TB classifieds and things will turn up. NOW you can close the thread. ;-)

True. There's a Mesa cab locally here for $150. But that doesn't help the OP. There will be decent deals for decent brands everywhere, but Peavey gear is standard decent and standard cheap, no matter where you are.

Yeah, that's good advice then. I was just funnin with you about the thread closing etc. I should have tossed in a few smileys.

Cant go wrong with PV. But dont close your eyes to even old PA gear, carvin stuff, DIY cabs for sale, used avatars, etc.

be a little patient... check Craigslist a couple times a day.
 
+1.

Used Ampeg 2x10 cabs are everywhere in the $200 range. I currently have 3 Ampeg cabs and used to own 5.

Better than Peavey IMO and around the same price.

CL is a dream these days when it comes to finding deals IMO.
Fair enough on the Ampeg's availability (although in my expereince, Peavey is much easier to find), but they tend to run a bit more and I don't believe your getting a step up in quality, just a different flavor.

I would highly recommend a used cab over a new cab at the same price. The stuff you buy new for $100 would probably be worse than buying a used Peavey/etc cab with a blown speaker! (And you'd probably blow the speaker in the new cab quick enough anyways...)

There are deals out there, so look around - tons of cabs for cheap money pop up every day.

I agree with that whole heatedly!

The man asked for cheap though.........


I believe my next cab will be an Avatar 4-10

I have the 1-12 and an Ampeg 410-HLF........

Maybe parallel the two 8 ohm cabs together, and parallel that with the 4 ohm cab,......... and run it all at 2 ohms....MuHahaha!
