blueox Posted January 11, 2010 Posted January 11, 2010 Anyone out there know of a decent (new) 8-ohm extension speaker cab loaded with 4 10s?
Thundersteel Posted January 11, 2010 Posted January 11, 2010 Check out Avatar Speakers. They are built well, and look and sound good. I have one of their 2x10s, and it rocks!
pegleg32 Posted January 11, 2010 Posted January 11, 2010 Check out Avatar Speakers. They are built well, and look and sound good. I have one of their 2x10s, and it rocks! Super!! That is a timely tip for me also TS. I've been looking for a 15" speaker cab and these guys are only about 180 miles away. That's like in the back yard in this country. Thanks for the tip.
t0aj15 Posted January 11, 2010 Posted January 11, 2010 I was just at the Avatar website and it it appears that they have reduced their choices to 1-12", 2-12", & 4-12", no more 2-10" or 4-10" cabs. I've got two Avatar 4-10" cabs myself and they are rather nice cabs, to bad they don't sell them anymore.
t0aj15 Posted January 11, 2010 Posted January 11, 2010 Avatar doesn't 15" cabs either, bot you can get both 10" & 15" cabs here; http://www.lopoline.com/catalog/item/3948019/3693974.htm
t0aj15 Posted January 11, 2010 Posted January 11, 2010 You can get 10" 12" & 15" X 1-2-4 empty cabs at Lopoline though, and their quality & pricing is on par with Avatar. You can also get custom options & cabs from Lopo. For instance I recently got one of their 2-12" vintage cabs with the baffle cut for a 1-15" rather then 2-12"s and there was no upcharge for the change. PS, Ignore my previous post I tried to edit it but was told I didn't have permission.
t0aj15 Posted January 11, 2010 Posted January 11, 2010 For some reason I'm not being allowed to edit my own message so I'll just add that in addition to empty cabs Lopo also sells Celestion & Eminence speakers.
Thundersteel Posted January 11, 2010 Posted January 11, 2010 PS, Ignore my previous post I tried to edit it but was told I didn't have permission. Perhaps because you didn't pay the required fee?
pegleg32 Posted January 11, 2010 Posted January 11, 2010 LOL, now if I could just pay to have my posts edited correctly by someone who knew something about the subject I'm writing about. WHAAAT!! Seriously though, thanks for that website also t0. I inquired to the Avatar guys, will see if I get a negative from them. The Lopo site is advertising what I want so I could end up there for sure. Thanks to both TS and t0.
blueox Posted January 11, 2010 Author Posted January 11, 2010 Thanks, gentlemen. Egnater makes a 4x10 cab using 1065 Celestion speakers, and I am interested in any alternatives, so I'll check out your leads.
rjsanders Posted January 11, 2010 Posted January 11, 2010 no question for me: Mather cabs. Peter makes the best cabs & at incredible prices w/quick turnaround (typically a couple weeks for a custom order). i've got 4 of 'em right now, am getting a 1x8 soon (clear pine, tung oil finish, recessed handle), planning on a 1x15 for later this year to house my Weber Michigan AlNiCo
iim7v7im7 Posted January 11, 2010 Posted January 11, 2010 I absolutely agree! Peter is a master builder, charges fair prices and delivers when he says he will. He built me a custom cabinet for my 5E3 (see below). He is now building a custom 1x12 for me now ( a small 18x16x10 open back for a Weber 12A150A). :-) Bob no question for me: Mather cabs.

t0aj15 Posted January 12, 2010 Posted January 12, 2010 Perhaps because you didn't pay the required fee? At last, I am confronted with the answer to the eternal question, SH!T do I have the proper coinage for passage,.................I suspect not.
morg21279 Posted January 12, 2010 Posted January 12, 2010 Try port City Amps. http://www.portcityamps.com/index.html I have one of their 1x12 cabs, and it's great.
slider313 Posted January 12, 2010 Posted January 12, 2010 Mather does some nice work and his prices are very fair. He built a custom 1X15 cabinet with beige/white tolex and a cane grill to house my '65 Deluxe Reverb chassis.
rjsanders Posted January 12, 2010 Posted January 12, 2010 posted pics of my 1x12 Mather cab here and here
blueox Posted January 12, 2010 Author Posted January 12, 2010 If interested, here's the Egnater link.
gopeteygo Posted January 14, 2010 Posted January 14, 2010 Pegleg, I have a 15" Bumbox cabinet with an Eminence Big Ben in it for sale. Holler if you're interested.

iim7v7im7 Posted January 24, 2010 Posted January 24, 2010 FYI... New compact 18" x 16" x 10" Peter Mather cabinet. : blonde tolex, pine construction, 22 lb. loaded, open backed, 8 ohm Weber 12A150A. He made it to match my Li'l Dawg D-Lux Head.
pegleg32 Posted January 24, 2010 Posted January 24, 2010 I don't want to steal the thread. Just wanted to mention that I received the Bumbox w/15" eminence from Pete. I love it. Pete was just excellent to deal with and the deal went down like clockwork. Very pleased all around!!

He made it to match my Li'l Dawg D-Lux Head. ... none better than Mather IMHO & his pricing is most xlnt & his turnaround time is usually 2 weeks or so. i'm planning on a slant-front 1x15 later this year
gopeteygo Posted January 25, 2010 Posted January 25, 2010 So glad that you're happy with it, pegleg and it was a pleasure on my end as well! Back on topic, I've been very happy with my open back Avatar with the checkered grille cloth, loaded with Scumbacks.
