Small & Affordable Cabinet That Goes Well With The Orange Micro Dark Head?

[ms1844]

I need a small (1x8) and affordable (~$100-120) cabinet that goes well with the Orange Micro Dark Head. I heard the PPC108 cab that would normally come with it sounds shrill and small. Any thoughts/experiences? Thanks.

Change the speaker of that cab, Jensen and celestion have some good 8 inch speakers, and affordable as well.Cant think of any good 8 inch cabs of my head.

Nobody is going to make a better 1x8 for that amp than the company that designed it. I can't even think of any other 1x8 guitar cabs on the market. All 8 inch speakers will sound harsh and small compared to the big, warm 12s most guitar amps use. I'd just get the Orange cab and don't expect too much from a tiny practice amp.

Yep! I find the Orange Micro series doesn't really bloom until the speaker size is at least a 12. I use a 1x15 or 2x12 cab with mine, the sound is killer.

Oh and don't forget the Laney Cub 2x12 that's only $199 on Amazon right now

Nice suggestion. That combo would slay. I think the OP would be very happy with that cab and the Micro.

Used Peavey or Carvin 1x12 or 2x12, choose based on what speakers are inside.

Do NOT take their word for it though, check before handing over cash.

For frontloaders, oftentines unscrewing a recessed handle and shining a flashlight inside is the fastest way to check

Ludicrous.

On the contrary, the paired cab sold with a low price entry level amp model will usually combine the cheapest materials and worst speakers on the market.

Something like a V30 or CL80 / MC90 in any old cab or even an unloaded combo chassis or monitor will walk all over that thing.

Alternatively, get some busted or POS 1x12 ss combo for$20-30, gut it for the box itself, and toss in a used Celestion for $40-75 depending on model.

Or -- build your own. Its not that hard and DIY cabinets sound surprisingly good.

None of the speakers you mentioned are 8 inches in diameter but thanks for calling my opinions ludicrous and then posting a paragraph that had nothing to do with the topic anyway. Your towering intellect has certainly impressed the entire internet.

1x8 cab? WTF?! Even my monitor speakers use 8-inch speakers, and I got 2 of 'em (M-Audio BX8a) for everyday use.

I don't know about 10 inch speakers, but I've never heard anything with 8 inch speakers worth my time at least.
12 inch speakers are the norm, for good reasons. They just sound right.

90% sure OP is talking about 1x8 due to price concerns... 1x12 isn't THAT outrageously bigger or heavier
