Looking for cabs to pair with LMII. Would prefer 2 1x12 or 2 2x10s. I like 10s and 12s. I’d prefer neo but wonder if there is a cheaper option than the Markbass cabs that will still sound great.

What cabs to pair with 500watt Markbass head
- Thread starter squeally dan

A pair of Markbass NY121P are a great match with any Markbass 500/800 watt head.
Hartke single 12 cabs are good too.

I did see these but they look huge and I’m looking for something light.
This is my preference but wondering if there is a similar option as light and portable but less than $1,000.
Yes, buy carefully second-hand to be sure the speakers aren't damaged and you should pay around $300 each.
I have two Traveler 102p cabs and they're on SALE now for $549 at Musicians Friend.
They're only 33 lbs and handle 400 watts each. Also very efficient cabs.
Definitely look locally for something used. Bergantino and Mesa Subways are cabs not too many folks have trouble bonding with. Good resale too. The Ampeg SVT 212AV is killer and a lot less money. There should be a good variety of used stuff in your neck of the woods if you’ve got a little patience. I'm nowhere near Nashville but to give an example I just sold a good Markbass NY 1x12 for $200.
Not a bad idea idea to try as much new stuff as you can too just to get an idea of what works for you so you don't dither when a smokin' deal comes up.

Would like to stay under $800 and a little less would be better. Hoping to find a good deal on a couple used 1x12 or a couple 2x10. Also looking to keep the weight down.
I regularly use a LMII with an Ampeg SVT210 AV and it sounds great. I have also recently been using a Revsound 1x10 which is really beginning to grow on me.
Thomann USA has good prices on both last series and New 58R Series MarkBass Cabinets 2x10 and 2x12

You will need to compromise somewhere. Light, loud and cheap won't mix. You can only have two.
