So I have a Marshall MX112R cabinet which is basic MDF. I've been experimenting with some different Celestions for some small amps for at home use. I'm looking to get another cab which is made of plywood or solid wood for further experimentation.
I've ran onto the Seismic, and the Mojotone which are basic 1/2" plywood, and in the $150 to $200 range. I don't expect them to hold up as good as a $500 cab, but I'm not going to be hauling it in and out, so I'm wanting to stay inexpensive.
I'm just wondering if anyone has used these 2 brands and knows any pros / cons of either or both. I was looking at the Seismic cube shaped cab, which is a little larger than the Marshall, and partially open backed, so it seems like a good contrast to the Marshall, to see what kind of results I can get out of these different Celestions.
However, reading some reviews, I see a few mentions of the Seismic having issues with the threaded inserts, and folks having to install their own mounting hardware. The website is a little unclear, and talks about mounting from the front. I'm looking to mount from the back, with the built in seal up against the baffle. I guess it's not the end of the world if I have to get some threaded inserts or T bolts, but I think I shouldn't really have to do that for a new cabinet. Everything mounted right up in the Marshall with no issues.
So here I am, asking the experts in the field. Please let me know if you have any experience with the Seismic and / or Mojotone, or even a suggestion for another brand of 1 x 12 cabinet in the same price range. Thanks.
