Members Mike LX-R Posted December 27, 2012 Members Share Posted December 27, 2012 I bought a used cab from GC on the chance it would have the stock speakers and it didn't. So I'm back to the drawing board.I need a 4x12, preferably used, that has K85(100) or CL-80s. I know that's a tall order, but I needs it so it must happen.

Members diocide Posted December 27, 2012 Members Share Posted December 27, 2012 My ampeg vh140c combo came with k85's in it, so maybe an older ampeg cab? I'm not sure whether or not any of the stand alone cabs came with them though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members sleewell Posted December 27, 2012 Members Share Posted December 27, 2012 avatar has great prices on those speakers and they are really well made cabs. maybe look for one that is unloaded and order the speakers seperate if you cant find one with them in it. randall cabs are good too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members NinjaRaf Posted December 27, 2012 Members Share Posted December 27, 2012 Yeah, keep looking around on CL, too. Those things pop up pretty frequently around here. And Ill also second avatar. You could likely by a quad of the speakers for 400, shipped. Or just buy one of their cabs for a couple hundred more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mike LX-R Posted December 27, 2012 Author Members Share Posted December 27, 2012 I just moved on a used Randall XL straight cab from GC for $380 that was loaded with V30's. I'll sell the V30's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members misle Posted December 27, 2012 Members Share Posted December 27, 2012 Marshall MF400 cabs are loaded with K100's. They are usually pretty cheap as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm glad you popped in on this thread Billy. I need some advice...I'm gonna sell the V30's this thing has, which should be easy for $100 a pair. Now, I've never heard K85/100's and they're not easy to find used so I'm thinking of selling my 2x12 with one of my other speakers in it, move my BL80's as well as purchase another pair of BL80's and load up this Randall with them.

What do you think? yeah, the XL with the 4 BL80's would be awesome. You could also try to X the T100s and BL80s. I am not a fan of X'ing but that combo could be good at least until you sell the V30's. I would also try to put a trade ad on CL to trade 2 V30's for 2 BL/CL80's that would solve your problem..

Members guitarbilly74 Posted December 27, 2012 Members Share Posted December 27, 2012 this guy has a Marshall 4x12 for sale with CL80's...http://losangeles.craigslist.org/wst...494275732.html why don't you contact him and ask him if he would be down to trade his 4 CL80's for your V30's... I would be easier for him to sell the cab with V30s, and you would have a quad of CL80s in your Randall. Win-win? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sold one of my 2x12's this last weekend and gave the buyer the choice to have either the T100's, the Weber Axis, or the Weber Blue dog. He chose the T100's. I think I'm just going to order a couple new BL80's. WGS speakers are cheap and of all speakers I've tried with different amps the BL80 is my fave. Especially since I'm used to that sound I think it's the way to go for me. If in the future I hear K85's, maybe even yours, I'll probably just pick up a 2nd 4x12 with them and have 2 awesome yet different cabs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Mike LX-R Posted December 27, 2012 Author Members Share Posted December 27, 2012 yeah, I wanted to tell him but there was no point in saying another word to the guy. I'll just order me a couple BL80's and be happy with my new 4x12. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
