Post by M Fowler »

Lopo is having a July 4th weekend sale on its open back and closed back 1x12 guitar cabs $99.00

I needed some empty cabs so I got mine.

We have had/used several of these. They are an excellent, well made, smaller, front load cab.....
Good Luck

They are a fairly small cab. With the speaker jack proximity, and the open section of the "open back" being only 8" tall, you would have a hard time if you flipped the T-Nuts and tried to use these as rear loaders. I am not saying it is impossible....perhaps you have done it your self. If so, I stand corrected.
Good Luck

Rear loaded and the quality is good. EDIT they are front load

I have three of their head cabinets.

Shipping for two cabs to minnesota was $56.

Yeah your right they are front load just grab the strap on the front grill cloth frame velcro fitted and load the speaker.

I got them for some of my octal tube amp builds and want to try different speakers out.

I specifically wanted a 2x12 vertical slant so I ordered one from Lopo. Very happy with it and would buy from them again. I didn't want the metal corners and they are happy to accommodate customer requests. The speaker grills are held in place with velcro which gives some folks heart burn but I can't imagine why. I don't gig out so I can't say how well they hold up to getting slammed around but the construction seems solid. I stapled a folded small bath towel on the inside back and bottom to deaden the cabinet resonance a bit and put two 12H30s in it, perfect! This one is the Black Taurus with black cotton grill cloth.

I've been curious about the 2 x 12 vertical slant.

I have a regular 2 x 12 from them.

Not the best cab in the world but the price was good at the time.
