New Acoustic Neo Cabs

[seamonkey]

3/4 MDF can be up to 100lbs for a 4x8' sheet.
It's heavy - the resin is heavy.

Ha… MF specs the NEO at 76lbs, and the B115 at 63lbs.


Acoustic B115NEO 1x15 Bass Speaker Cabinet Specifications:
Dimensions: 28-3/8"H X 25"W X 20-7/8"D
Weight: 76 lb.

Acoustic B115 250w 1x15 Bass Cabinet Specifications:
24"W x 25"H x 16"D
63 lbs.


The NEO is a larger box, though, and 400 watts vs 250 for the B115.


I'm thinking the B410 would be the better buy all around.

 

[JimmyM]

they're still made of mdf, so a great buy they're not.

Hi Acoustic fans,

Brian from Acoustic here.

Nice catch! This info is incorrect.
The B210 Neo cab is 51.85 lbs.
The B115 Neo cab is 50.4 lbs

Both are MDF to keep the cost down. Smaller footprint than the B410 (73 lbs.) and B115 (63bs) and also lighter. You also get the tighter, snappier response of the Neo speaker with enhanced mids and highs as you would expect.

Both are $300.00 less than a similar cab from the leading competitor. A great value!

Thanks for catching this. I know we can always count on the forums to keep us straight!

That makes more sense, I was wondering about the weight thing as well.

 

[rdcowan]

Are these listed on the Acoustic website? I looked a few days ago when I heard about them, but did not see them.

 

[450Watt]

They will be up on the Acoustic site soon.

I am already working to make sure that the posted weights online and on the MF, GC sites is corrected!

It's going to be hard for me to pick between these or Carvin's neo cabs.

Carvin - made in US using Plywood.

Carvin - made in US using Plywood.

True, but I have no way of testing any Carvin equipment. I have to buy it sight unseen. I know I like the sound of the Acoustic amps despite being cheap.

MDF as cost savings is foolish. Saves like 20 bucks a cab for a wholesale purchaser. Drives me bonkers.

Charge 329.99 instead of 299.99, shave 5-10lbs off the weight, improve stiffness.

+1 and save on shipping costs
Especially boatloads from overseas.

Carvin gives you a trial period where you can try it in the real world.
Not just a store.

Anyone have pics? Couldn't find any online.

You're still responsible for shipping should you decide you don't like it.

It beats reselling it on the used market. 500 dollar cab, less 80 bucks for shipping two-ways, 420, way more than you'll reliably get used

But it doesn't beat trying out something for free.
