how about this one? It has symphonys instead of knights which are very similar according to madison.

That's a guitar cab...not a bass cab.

SSB212 - it's a 2x12 cabinet that is the same enclosure as the Steelsound 2x12 documented in this thread:

Steelsound 2x12 thread

It's a good, working man's cabinet that I do not hesitate to recommend. If you're going for a budget, single cab solution - this is the one (IMO). The Madison Knights are extremely fast 12's, so you get punch along with good low frequency response as well.

+2.

What you have to also think about - what AMP are you going to run the cab/cabs with?

I just purchased a 115 and 210 that will be in next Tuesday. I'm putting Eminence Deltas in the 210 and an Eminence Kappa Pro in the 115. It's going to be my church/home/backup rig. I'll post results after I use it.

i havent actually purchased a head yet but im set on around 300 watts more than likely at 4 ohms. I also was wondering if a 15 would do the job or would i need two 10s with it. So far everyone has said go with the 2 12 so im seriosly looking into that. Thanks for all the replies

Just in case you didn't know, the 2x12 is a 4 ohm cab, so that'd be the limit of your head. Most around here would reccomend a used Peavey head that can go down to 2 ohms... that way if you ever needed, you could expand with a 2x10 or a 1x15 or even another 2x12.

FWIW, if you're playing out with it, I'd set your sights at 5-600W, simply so you can have that headroom.

Another FYI - if you're thinking Behringer, that's fine, but be aware that Behr starts to peak and distort way before it gets to 300W. The 450W head probably comes closer to 300W... lol...

I use Madison drivers in all of my cabs as well. Very happy with them.
