I am looking at the Yamaha THRC212 2x12 Guitar Cabinet to pair with my JC-120 head. It seems to check a lot of the boxes I need. Stereo or mono, 300 watts so lots of headroom. I am just not very familiar with Yamaha amps or cabs. Esthetically it is a nice looking cab also. Any feedback on these cabs wold be great.

Re: Feedback needed - Yamaha THRC212 2x12 Guitar Cabinet
excuse me
I have been looking at so many I may have gotten the features confused
I think I may have got the features of the Carvin VX2x12 mixed with the Laney
I have a fetish for both

I'd rewire a good cab I had before buying something else, just my .02
You can do the rewire with a switch in line to give you both speakers mono or split stereo, easy enough to do..My Bands -

The Carvin is the right wattage and ohms. The price is great also. Good enough for Zappa good enough for me. I just might go this route. The downside is having this in the house might renew my gas for an X100B head.

I love the carvin stuff
I have a collection of amps and powered speakers
All of it bullet proof
The 2x12 cab used to be convertible now it's ported
I don't know if that's an improvement or not
The carvin speakers sound great to my ears
Albeit mine are the older VR series
I think they farmed all that out out in the early 2000s
Used to be made for Carvin by domestic suppliers

I tend to agree with you, but manufacturers want to keep their costs down. A jack and slab of plastic probably cost them 25 cents. These multi-jacks might cost them a couple of bucks each.
The manufacturers also want to keep the cooler options and features for their more expensive/hi end gear. $800 for a stereo Marshall 2x12 vs. $300 for the mono.

Just bought one of these for my 4x12. Not so much for the stereo but more for the impedance flexibility. I have two Avatar cabs that came with them. This one looks almost exactly the same. Dimensions are the same as the Penn-Elcom dish that's in there now so it should drop in. https://www.amplifiedparts.com/produ...lay-monostereo

Originally posted by Securb View PostThat is a nice price. I am going to have to do some routing. There is the round jack plate in there right now.
The one I linked looks exactly the same but the layout is a little different. At any rate, the board is solid and the jacks seem to be good quality. Hoping the one I bought is the same quality. I'm guessing that it is. I preferred to use a Speakon at the cabinet but I'm not playing out these days and having the versatility of these jacks is nice.
