That's their standard 2x12 cab. Carvin's been making it for many years. I've got one that's at least 10 years old. No telling what it's loaded with from the pic...probably 70-100watt Carvin speakers. The box itself is quite sound and not too heavy and it's half open in the back. Look up the price at the carvin site

I like it just fine. It was my main gig cab for many years. Mine was loaded with 100 watt carvin speakers...they had a V30 vibe to them.

You have to open it up and see what speakers are in it. I have a Carvin Legacy 2x12 cab, which is loaded with Celestion V30 speakers stock. Carvin speakers are made by Eminence I believe, so they're good. Some of those 2x12's recently came with options for Celestion V30's, so you could have those or you would have the Carvin speakers.

The Legacy 2x12 is the same cabinet but with Celestion V30's, different cosmetics, and you could remove one of the panels to make it open or closed back. Even if it doesn't have Celestions, the stock Carvins always had a good reputation, and the GT 12's tend to sound like Celestion V30's

not much help with your question, but I have a Carvin MTS 4x12 that has the British series speakers and it has served me very well

Re: Help! Which cab is this? (Carvin)

Ive been told that this cab had the original speakers replaced by Celestions GT 75.
Ive read that those are kinda scooped, but what do you think?
The head ill be using is the new EVH 5150 50watts that has lots of mids, so it will be balanced right?
I know i have to go and try it before, but that i will do on sunday! and im dying of curiosity, so please tell me what you think bros!

żżżAre the Celestion 75 better than the stock Carvin Speakers of that cab???

[SlyFoxx]

Re: Help! Which cab is this? (Carvin)

I wouldn't say either is better. It's a matter of taste.

Carvin used 75's for a while a few years back so they may well be the stock speakers for that cab.
Here is the listing for that cab new. http://www.carvinguitars.com/products/G212
Carvin cabs are Poplar Plywood and quite well built. I personally never cared for the tone on the standard 1and 2/12's as I found them lacking bottom + small and boxie sounding. The 4/12's and larger Legacy 2/12's however were really nice sounding cabs.
Try it with your head and see how it works in you environment it might just work well with the head you have.

I think scooped sometimes gets carried away. The mids are pulled back compared to a v30 or greenback. But with an amp like that you will be fine.
