Need an extenion cab for my Shuttle 3 10...

[Jamesemt]

I'm moving to really lightweight gear in a bid to save my back.

I've got a Shuttle 3 10 but could do with a little bit more power which I would get with an extension cab and therefore utilising the full 300w as opposed to 175w.

Now I could buy a Genz Benz 10'' extension cab for £400 OR I could get an Ampeg Micro VR 2x10 cab for £240...

The Genz Benz weighs 16lb, the Ampeg weighs 25lb.

I'm moving away from my Eden Nemesis cabs (2x 210) which only weigh 35lb each but are quite bulky (not to mention the 10,0000lbs of my rack gear).

Is it worth spending the extra cash on the Genz Benz to match, when I could get more speaker area cheaper?

For gigs I have PA support anyways, so this is mainly for rehearsals.


Any advice?

.... or if you want a little more depth, you could have a listen to the GB neo 12" cabs. They could work well with your combo.

But, the STL-12T weighs 27 lbs and the STL-10T only weighs 16 lbs.

That's what I meant - my two choices were the 10T or the Ampeg...anyways I've bought the Ampeg so we'll see how it goes...
