I guess now that someone has broken the ice maybe I should come out too. I've been using they're 2x10 cab for a year now. I bought it unloaded, purshased two Knight 10's, a rack case, and a wireless mic. I've also bought a pair of 15's and various speaker box components from SS and have always been happy with they're service. One time I made an error with my credit card, called them up and they dealt with it all over the phone, with no hassles. Shipping has always taken less than a week, which is good considering it has to cross the border to get to me.
Anyways, as far as the cab goes, I received the cab is a box, which was surrounded by packing foam and another box around that, so it came to my door in perfect shape. The speakers each came in they're packaging which was also surrounded in packing foam and placed in another box, the rack got the same treatment.
I unpacked everything, mounted some T-nuts in the box and mounted/wired the drivers, In my excitement I neglected to tune the port and stuff the box because I wanted to just hear how it sounded. After plugging it in I was impressed, so impressed that even after a year I havent bothered to actually tune the box, I'm sure someday when I'm bored I will but for now, 'if it aint broke, dont fix it'.
The cab by itself is sufficient to play medium sized gigs with PA support with a 5 string tuned as low as a G, the speakers have to move to go down to G but there was no audible distorsion at stage monitor levels. As a part of my rig, it sits on top of a Madison MAS18D and I have dont medium sized theaters with no PA support an rarely lit the Clip Leds on my Samson F800.
I will agree with the complaint about hardware, I had a case with cables on top fo my stack fall and land on the speaker cable, breaking the jackplate around the jack. The handles have held up fine after a year of being thrown around by roadies, I actually like the round grills although the full face grill does look much better.
For about $130 US plus shipping, I have had good results with my 2x10 cab and I'm sure that if one day I upgrade the hardware and tune the cabinet I would be even more impressed. As far as the rack goes, it is a Legion Sound 8U rack case, it has aluminum hardware all around and 1/2" plywood with pieces of 90' aluminum tieing it together. The rack weighs a ton, about 35lbs empty and over 100lbs loaded with my gear, so it is atwo person job, but it has held up great after a year of gigging, the outside has many signs of abuse, but the inside and the structure have held up great.
