absolutpepper Posted April 1, 2010 Share Posted April 1, 2010 Hey guys Ive just purchased a Little Giant 1000 from the marketplace and i'm starting to think about cabs. I wont be buying for a few months (maybe 6) but I was looking for some advice. Obviously much has been made about the 500x500 non-bridgable issue and I reckon that for most of the gigs, etc I will be playing the 500w from a single channel will cover my needs (plus my Ric has such a 'hot' output there should be no issues there!). Initially I wanted a Markbass or Genz head but after much deliberation I dont think that with the amount of gigging I am doing at the moment that I can really justify that (one for the future I expect), anyways I digress. So I guess the question is what cab recommendations can you give me for this. I really would like a single cab that is relatively lightweight and sub £300 but one which can put out enough oompf that I wont be struggling too much for headroom and it doesnt have to be too esoteric.

Still looking for advice/opinions people. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yorick Posted April 1, 2010 Share Posted April 1, 2010 Howabout one of the Ashdown Superfly cabs? They do compact 1 x 15 and 4 x 8 cabs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lemmywinks Posted April 1, 2010 Share Posted April 1, 2010 There's a Zoot Neo in the Affiliates section for £200 posted, probably 8ohms though. Would still be pretty loud though Ashdown did a Superfly cab with 2 x 4ohm outputs to get the full power from the head. Don't see any reason why you couldn't rewire a 2x10 or a 2x12 like this, provided the drivers were 4ohms each Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steviedee Posted April 2, 2010 Share Posted April 2, 2010 (edited) Hi Chris I have a cab I used with my lg1000 a couple of times it's an awesome cab but I'm getting rid of the LG and I want smaller cabs In a nutshell, it’s a light (50 lb) stereo 4x10. It was built by Kurt Meyer at Flite for a US customer who wanted two 2x10s put into a single 4x10 sized cabinet and still have it be superlight. [url="http://www.flitecabs.com/"]http://www.flitecabs.com/[/url] The specs are as follows: - each side is a 3-way 2x10 cab; they are built together to make it a 4x10 (a la old Ampeg SVT cabs). - Rated at 300 watts RMS @ 4 ohms/side - 600 watts total - Each side has two 10” woofers, a 5" mid, and a tweeter - Speakers are Eminence. - Each side has attenuators for the mids and highs - Each side has two Speakon connectors and a 1/4" input connector - The previous owner said the efficiency rating was 99db @ 1watt/meter. - comes with a custom non-padded cover - 26” high x 28” wide x 14.75” deep - Weight 50 lbs You just take separate speakon cables from the LG into each side of the cab it works perfectly.
