Need a suggestion for a cabinet.

I've been using the same Peavey Mark VII with a Peavey 18" cab forever. I'm thinking that I'd like to add another cab so I can use the crossover and maybe not have to carry the 18 with me for rehearsals and smaller gigs. I'm thinking that a 1*10" should do it, a 2*10" max.

Cheap is better as I'm not really playing out much or making money. I'm also playing mid 80 Peavey T-40s so I'm not needing the highest end performance...

Any suggestions?
 
I don't think you're going to do well with most 1x10s unless you get a super high-end one or have a very quiet drummer. I suggest you look into either 2x10 cabs or some of the newer, efficient 1x12s. You'll move a lot more air for close to the same weight and have a much better chance of being loud enough to play with a full band.

Have a look at Avatar's products. Very, very good quality for the money and you can get a 1x12, 1x12+6 or 2x10, which might suit your needs.
 
If I were in the market for a lightweight 210, I'd look for used GK combos or 210 cabs. They'll keep up with a drummer and are ridiculously light/loud for the $. I have a GK 210 that served me proudly for many years and never quit. I'm reluctant to give it away bc it saw me through many practices and gigs.
