Empty 2x12 cab source

[80's_Thrash_Metal]

I am pondering buying another 2x12 cabinet just for recording purposes.

I sold my blackstar off with one of my DSL heads, and I've been missing it ever since.
.... my other half stack is at the rehearsal space...
I am thinking about buying an empty 2x12 and sticking one of those cheap little bantamps on top just to give a totally different freq spectrum to my recordings.....

My question is, where can I source an empty (I've got speakers lying around I want to use) 2x12 cabinet that sounds ok and is inexpensive?
Hard to find one via OfferUp, and I deleted Facebook so.... Shoot me some ideas and I'll go check them out.

Thanks boys!

i got a mojotone 2x10 cab a while back, was just under $300 shipped. great cab but probably more than you want to spend. shouldnt be too hard to find an inexpensive 2x12 if you arent overly particular about what it is.

A good budget cab is the Seismic Audio

Eminence has one I've read read good reviews on, and it's $199.

I know a guy here locally that gigs with a Harley Benton 2x12. It’s held up fine and it was cheap.

2 or 3 bills maybe.

Avatar sells empty cabs. Watch for B stock.

I like the Mojotones I've heard, I know of lots of makers, but am reticent to recommend ones I haven't actually heard -as there is a lot of math and art into making the desired speaker styles optimal -so just being a good cabinet maker, isn't enough for a good guitar cabinet.

the mojotone i have is an open back 2x10 but the build is very nice, and they have a variety of styles, but i think its more than you want to spend. probably $400-600 depending on model

Mojotone built my head cabinet for my Fender M80. The craftmanship and quality is top-notch

I picked up a empty (used) Avatar 212 cab on CL. It sounds really good and the build quality is top shelf. I installed a couple of Creamback 65’s and use it as an extension for my Peavey 5150 212 combo.

Wow dude, you beat me to suggesting that company !!!!

Carvin's 2x12 open back cab has served me well off and on for...Lord when did I buy that thing??...like 20 years ago. Solid but not super heavy either. I think they're poplar. Had various speakers in it over the years. Right now I just have a single 12 in it hooked to my 1 watt Blackstar. I wouldn't be surprised if you could find one for a C note or less.

I've used the Avatars and they are really nice, but out of your budget, they are $419 for a unloaded 212. But, they do come up for good deals used.

I just got a 10% off check out code for Seismic Audio, use it at will

WELCOME10

Ordered the seismic 2x12 off their site just now, was only $138 after that code, with free shipping!

I have a stack of T-75S to mount in it when it shows up.

Sweet! I have a few vintage Fender speakers looking for a home I might grab one myself. Though I could really use a good 1x12 cab.
