The Steel Guitar Forum

I'm trying to find info on lightweight cabinets and speakers. I'm currently using the Peavey 112e cabinets. They sound great but I'm looking for less weight without giving up tone. Either 12" or 15".

Tommy Huff is a member here and makes great sounding cabinets

Smokey, I've always been happy with cabs made by Tommy Huff who is a Forum member. Lots of info here on the Forum. His cabs weigh about 12 lbs without speakers and look great. One of mine is covered in black western tolex and the other in brown western tolex with a leather handle. Over the years he has built 5 or 6 cabs for me. I am using 15" speakers with Neo magnets that weigh just over 7 lbs. A Telonics in one, and an EPS 15C in the other. Both speakers are made by Eminence.

I'm with Jack and George..... Tommy Huff is the man to
go to for fine cabs.

A solid pine cabinet is generally lighter than a plywood or MDF cabinet. Don't make the cabinet too small. A Twin Reverb or Peavey Session size works well with either a single 15 or 2 twelves. Open back is my preference.

I have a TRM pine cabinet that I really like, he makes them in a variety of configurations. Without tolex, it does get banged up pretty easily though

TRM cabs are nice solid pine, well built. I cover mine with tolex. Search on eBay.

Telonics makes very good cabs.

Tons of great options, but for my ultra-lite rig I use one of these:

Super lite, sounds great, very portable.

When asking for the best... It is best to mention a price range.
The best is not always the cheapest.

Really like my Rick Johnson Cab’s
