Does anyone sell a 1 x 10" speaker cab?

That's a 10 inch woofer, midrange speaker and tweeter all in one box. Sounds like a much bigger cab. Great prices and service, too. Been using mine for small gigs and as a stage monitor on larger gigs three or four times a week for the last two years. No problems at all - the thing is indestructible and sounds gorgeous.

YAMAHA BBT 1x10 Cab, 250w 4ohm with tweeter control. Great little cabs???

I would have sold mine for £100 but just sorted a trade out, If it falls through i will let you know.

Sorry for the Johnny-come-lately reply but we've got an ex-display Ibanez Promethean 1x10" cabinet in stock which we could do a bit of a deal on for a Basschatter. It's got one tiny mark on the top front edge, that's all. We can also supply brand new and boxed if required.

I used to build custom cabs.

Materials costs for a cab would be £30-£50 for a basic finish + about 6 hours labour for a one off cab. All very approximate as it depends upon the cab design and to a lesser extent how much expensive gear you have to speed up the build. The box is going to cost £100+ to build.

A cheap Celestion or Fane driver will be £30-40ish up to £100 for a Precision Devices driver of someting else a bit better for a 10" unit.

Add in the time it takes to market, talk to the customer, deliver,test, provide after-sales support etc. Also allow for the costs of renting and equipping a workshop and it is pretty difficult to produce a speaker for under £200. Add in the costs of shipping and the profit margins of the retailers/wholesalers and/or importers and you get a retail price of £400.

Mass production in China can cut the costs to half of these prices but such speakers are usually engineered to keep costs low with a compromise in performance. Having said that the engineering is usually well thought out and great value for money.

Sadly very few people in this business from the musicians upwards make good money, we all do it for love first and sometimes manage to scratch out a living.

Sorry I haven't read the rest of this thread, but if you’re looking for a fantastic 110 cab I would try an Epifani UL110 before buying anything else. Mark at Bass Direct currently has 2.

I think it's a pretty new product, never noticed it before.
Launched in Jan as it happens >> [url="http://www.eden-electronics.com/info/pr/pr_ex110_ex112_text.htm"]http://www.eden-electronics.com/info/pr/pr..._ex112_text.htm[/url]

Can't find any reviews on the usual sites.

Who's going to take the gamble?...
