inexpensive cabs

[elms2988]

i just bought an epiphone valve jr. amp head to play around with and maybe take to college. it's the first head-only unit i've ever had. I'm thinking maybe a 2X10, 2X12 speaker cabinet, but i'm pretty clueless as to brands, speakers, etc. since i only spent $100 on the head, it'd be nice to find a cab for at most around the same price. do ya'll have any suggestions, maybe know someone that builds them in roughly that price range? thanks, appreciate the benefit of ya'lls far greater experience.

Re: inexpensive cabs

i think you should spend like a few more bucks and get a descnet one, for when you upgrade your head later. if not, then whatever you can find on ebay for cheap is probably the best bet.

Re: inexpensive cabs

You can't get a pair of decent speakers for that kind of $$$. You can get some unloaded 2x12 cabs in that price range on evilbay but even POS speakers are gonna run you some $$$.

Re: inexpensive cabs

how hard is it to install speakers yourself into an empty cab? are they all you need?

Re: inexpensive cabs

Look on eBay for the not as popular but, very good cabs such as Laney and Hughes & Kettner. Never know what you'll find.
