[Poll] What do you consider to be a lightweight cab?

[dbsfgyd1]

I feel like we all have different thresholds for what we consider to be a light cab, so it makes me curious: what's your personal weight limit for a 2x12?

In general I don’t buy cabs I can’t lift and or transport on my own regardless of speaker size. Even at age 72, and certainly not a towering hulk by any stretch of the imagination, I can still manage to lift and carry an 80 lbs amp rack. Big stinking woo! The question is why would I want or need to?

The other considerations are , I’m 72 and I know I’m not going to be able to do that forever. The other is while the muscular skeletal part may be fine with it, my sense of balance is not what it used to be. So I have to be very careful there is nothing to trip over where I’m hauling it.

Kudos for lifting a 80 ibs amp rack at age 72!

I'm 57 and my limit is much lower. I suppose it depends a lot on our way of living: I live in Paris and I don't have a driving license, I go to all my gigs by public transport, so I'm happy with my no-sound-compromise 25lbs cab (Barefaced Super Compact). But I can imagine the context is different for you (and probably the majority) if you just have to put your gear in your trunk.

A great solution to give a break to your lower back………………………..and your wallet !

Quick question if I may : when using both combos all together, is it loud enough for any kind of drums/drummers ?

Yes it is, even playing with a loud drummer or guitarist. But I also don't play in any bands with excessively loud stage rigs. But given even moderately loud gigs onstage, I seldom need to turn it up much. There is still a lot more usable volume at hand if needed.

And if anyone really needed that much more volume, there are also the Rumble 200's and 500's, or even the 800 that can also be chained together. They are also quite light.
