Best overall: Seismic Audio another Speaker

Buy on Amazon

If you want nothing but the best long-standing cabinet, then this is the one you should definitely consider, as it manages to bring a lot to the table. The quality of sound is only as good as your equipment & this bass guitar cabinet should not be overlooked. It has one 15" woofer with a 50 oz magnet & 2.5" kapton voice coil with crystal clear sound & rejecting extraneous noise. This cabinet is rated for 600 Watts Peak. It can be used on a bass type cabinet.

This speaker has both punch and depth. They sound incredible at very low volume, but can also take up an entire club with thundering bass if necessary. It is much lighter considering its power rating. It is easy to transport and move around.

• End reinforcement along with great articulation in the mid range
• Roadworthy good sounding cabinet with solid punch but heavy
• Perfect size for bar gigs, or even large outdoor festivals

Best For easy install: Seismic Audio Speaker Cabinet

Buy on Amazon

The seismic audio speaker cabinet's material feels more premium than its price would suggest. It is what any impedance speaker you put in it. It fits all speaker cabinet and will fit every speaker perfect. It's solid and well built. There are pre-drilled holes for the speaker at 12, 3, 6 and 9 o'clock, and each hole has a metal threaded insert mounted in the back of the front panel. The wiring is sufficient as well.

It's a closed-back cabinet, but it's pretty roomy, so it doesn't tighten up the bottom end as much as you'd expect from a closed-back 1x12 cabinet. It is well braced and offers a nice boutique look.

• High quality cabinet, better than many commercially available
• Huge loud cleans, and tight low end
• Very nice, better than many commercial cabinets in build quality
• A great way to give it your own personal touch

Best For bassist needs: Seismic Audio ported Cabinet

Buy on Amazon

The seismic audio ported cabinet might be a relatively new release, but it's still nothing short of impressive this year, thanks to multiple price cuts and added new features over the past few iterations. Cabinets have to be designed around the drivers used so that the internal volume and port tuning achieves the particular frequency range you are desiring, without any weirdness like boomy notes or lack of low end. It's solidly built and relatively easy to install your speakers. The front metal cover is decent quality, being matte black cage material with quarter inch squares for holes. The ports are there for deeper low end.

The cab comes pre-wired. The handles could be better as they are not very comfortable for lifting and carrying. It does have metal corner caps that are functional.

• Sounds good and is of decently heavy quality
• Works great as a bass cabinet
• Very nice cabinet with all necessary wiring

Best For upgrading existing Speakers: Empty Speaker Cabinet

Buy on Amazon

The empty speaker cabinet has killer features for the price point. It offers a variety of unique speaker cabinets and music-related gear at affordable prices. The Luke 2X12 comes with wiring to set your two speakers up in parallel. Each cabinet comes with a dual 1/4" metal jack plate and plenty of wire to hook up your speaker. It comes with 4 screws (and nuts) per woofer, with the nuts typically located at the 2, 4, 7, and 10 o'clock positions. Your speakers will have a much bigger effect on your tone than the brand of the cabinet.

The Cab is solid and much larger than most 2X12 cabs. These each have a wheat grill of various colors and are covered with a clean cut tolex.

• Great flexibility to front of rear mount the speakers
• Comes pre-wired and makes bolting in any speakers an ease
• Plenty of low end and the sound is very balanced

Best extension Speaker Cabinet: Seismic Audio decent Cabinet

Buy on Amazon

Compared with other products by Seismic Audio, the seismic audio decent cabinet has a convenient design. This cabinet sounds killer. There are 4 T-nuts mounted in the cabinet which requires 8 to mount a speaker, and the nuts and screws are too small. Even though it’s open back, the lows feel good and not muddy. The wiring is plenty long enough and the connection at the jacks (wired for parallel) is also solid. The handle on top makes it easy to carry.

This cabinet is sturdy and solid construction overall. The hole is jagged which makes speaker placement off.

• Speaker mounts and screws are included, long wire for connecting speakers
• Well built, sounds and looks great
• One of the new comers and featured product

Best For singing lead lines: Empty Speaker Cabinet

Buy on Amazon

We know from years of feedback from readers, customers and amazon sellers, what most people want in a convenient and appropriate cabinet. The product is exactly that - it's a simple product that hits all the right notes. These empty Luke-2x12C_BLBL 2x12" guitar cabinets have a dual 1/4" jackplate, where the 1/4" jacks are wired parallel to the jackplate, for the woofers. It is great with a pair of celestion type speakers, big and woody. The input jacks are very nice quality. It can be used as a guitar cabinet and it would make a nice end table.

The gauge of wiring used in the cab for the speakers has to be at least 12 gauge. It's a nice size, it's built solid, all the speaker holes lined up, and installing the two Eminence Texas Heat 8ohm drivers is easy but getting the back off can be a little stubborn. There will be two (2) pairs of positive (red) and negative (black) leads, wired parallel to the jackplate, for the woofers. If you daisy chain them together, these two 8 Ohm cabinets will yield an overall 4 Ohm load.

• Great value and nice product for the money with the seismic luke series
• Corners protected, surfaces protected / foamed, and all was right with the world
• Lot of satisfied buyers

Best For sturdiness: Seismic Audio Lightweight Cabinet

Buy on Amazon

Seismic Audio makes beautiful and great cabinet with classic and smartly choosen materials. Seismic Audio makes the "Luke" cabinet in 3 styles, Vintage and Traditional which are open-backed and "Contemporary" style that is a closed-back cabinet. It has 2 removable back panels for rear speaker loading. The handles are really nice, and easily fit just about any hand, and being perfectly cylindrical makes them comfortable.

This has an oval opening in the back of the cabinet, but there are no ports on the baffle of the cabinet. The leads on the jack plate are extra long, as long as you'll ever end up needing, so you may want to trim them. It looks fine and it's only noticeable if touched. It could be stretched tighter but it looks fine and it's only noticeable if touched.

• Accepts 12” speakers of you choice
• Nice sweet tone very full sound,loaded with celestion guitar 100s nice combo
• Nice solid construction birch plywood cabinet
