Cabinet Choices

[Zach Dow]

Hey! I'm in the market for a 4x12 cab to go with my Peavey 5150 amp head, from what I've researched the cab that goes along with the head has some poor reviews and was wondering if anyone could help me make a decision on what to get instead. I'm looking for something that is relatively inexpensive but not cheap either. I mostly play heavy metal and metalcore. Thanks!

I've heard a lot of good things about the Harley Benton 4x12 Cabs. They come loaded with Celestion Vintage 30's at a great price. For the 4x12 you would have to pay $483.20 cents USD just for the speakers alone on Amazon while the cab itself is $366 along with a $33 dollar shipping fee from Thomann. First heard about them from Glenn Fricker's YouTube Channel and here recently Ola Englund mentioned how he had heard good things as well about them.

4x12s are becoming a bit passe, with most going for 1x12 or, more commonly, 2x12 cabinets. Most cabs with a closed back and Celestion V30s are really strong choices for metal, up to the very heaviest shit, but it really comes down to what your ear hole likes.
