IMO, a 2x12 cab is a great form factor. I have 2:
- Ampeg 212AV. It's 66lbs and I use a small cart to roll it with V4B sitting on top.
- Berg 212. Was CN now HDN. 46 lbs and easy to "one hand" it

 

[Gluvhand]

2 Hydrive 112s and Tech21 Vt500. Gig 2-3 times a months. About 65 lbs.

 

[Mr. Foxen]

Pair of 2x15s, sometimes just one, 50lb each.

 

[thefunkgorilla]

This thread is for gigging musicians that carry their gear out 2 or more times a month... what size cab do you carry, and how much does it weigh?

Schroeder 212 at 42 lbs. OR
custom LDS 610 sealed(Old guy Fridge with towel bar and casters) at 88 lbs.

 

[jastacey]

Depends on the band/gig, small places & long lugging/walk, I use my 2 Aguilar DB112's, lately, for everything else I have been using my NV610, as a tilt back cabinet, it's pretty easy to move around and loading in and out of the Yukon/Suburban

What are you using? Neo speakers? That's light, i'd love that...

 

[deathness]

Low Down Sound single 15" cab. It weighs about 32lbs.

I'm very close to contacting LDS for a 1x15 cab built around the Faital 15PR400. Which driver do you have in your cab? How do you like it? There's a lot of praise on this board for LDS's work. This week, I'm gonna make the rounds to a bunch of music shops in Brooklyn and Manhattan and, if I don't find a standalone cab that flips my trigger, I think I'm gonna get a quote from LDS.

Single Deltalite II loaded cab or a 15/6 nEarful. if I need more then it's FOH
