I am assembling a Lightweight rig and I am looking at Cabinet/speaker options.
I am going with a 12" because of lighter weight and I really enjoyed my Nashville 112.
Is there a known lightweight cab builder or should I just save money and buy any normal weight cab with a Neo speaker? Thanks
Jeff

TRM makes some nice cabinets in lightweight pine. Pretty adaptable to needs too.

Jeff, I use a Steelaire head into a cab I originally built for my MB200 that I Used before getting Steelaire. I left the MB in place as it weighs only two lbs , and makes a great back up.The cab is made from pine and fitted with Sica 12 inch Neo it weighs 21lbs.I have a friend who uses two Quilter pro blocks, built into a rack unit ( one for steel, one for guitar ) with a very similar light weight cab.I also have a 15 cab fitted with Neo, 23 Lbs.

Here's my TRM cab with a Quilter Aviator head, the speaker is a Telonics. Not sure of the weight, but it is light. I bought it unfinished and did the stain/grill cloth myself

Tommy Huff makes a nice cab and priced very reasonable.

I custom-ordered a Mojotone Lite 1x12 cabinet when they had a sale a while ago. It was about $200 with custom cosmetics. Loaded with a Jensen Neo or Eminence Lil Texas the thing weighs in at 18 pounds.

Try out the Eminence Double-T 12" speaker. It's the sweetest sounding steel speaker I've tried, and it's a light Neo as well. It's got a nice mid-range cut that's not honky or harsh sounding.

I noticed that the DT's are 8 ohm.....is that the norm for a single cabinet?
