Anyone know anything about Wizard Cabs? Looking at a pair of 410's. they ate selling as a pair for 600 bucks. I just don't know too much about them.

Wizard Cabs

Never heard of them before, but looking at their online specs they would be a no go for me... I dont much care for guitar cabs stuffed with bass speakers.
I'm pretty sure I'd just buy a used Ampeg SVT cab and get similar looks and performance for 1/4 the price... They might be worth checking out but I don't see any reason to fork up for the Wizards where there are plenty of comparable bass cabs at better prices.

Picked up one of the Wizard 410 cabs (perhaps one of the two you were looking at? GC Manchester, CT)
DEFINITELY not built or tuned like a guitar cab - they had a used guitar 4x12 there - complete different animals - these are great!

What makes them great? Not being an ass, just asking. General tone. Hard to fart out? Breakup nicely or something? General design, ported, sealed, rough size, etc.

The 115 weight listed has to be a typo as the same weight is listed for the 215 cab, which is still too darn heavy

BB/concrete/BB sandwich? That could be a sort of composite I guess..
I think Mesa Boogie already patented that cabinet design...
Hmmmm.....BB/concrete/BB sandwich? That could be a sort of composite I guess.
That gives me an idea for the next Criley-Core cab design....

It's funny...for years I didn't mind heavy cabs. I kinda figured they had to be heavy to sound good, and I certainly would still schlep a heavy cab if it were my favorite sounding cab 
Actually, I have played thru one of these cabs (410 top with 115 bottom... possibly 118 bottom) and it sounded pretty good, but not spectacular. The rehearsal space I have been using lately has alot of Wizard gear as I believe the owner of the space is a dealer.
I will say they are built very well. I cannot remember the exact details, but when the owner was telling me about them, the specs definitely seemed the 'overbuilt' variety if you know what I mean. They are not cheaply made, that's for sure.
