From the website:
The G112 is a compact cube like single 12" guitar speaker cab perfect for enhancing a combo amp, rack system or small tube head/amp. The cab is available with either partial open back or completely closed back. This front loaded cab is constructed of 18 mm voidless Baltic Birch PLYWOOD with rabbet and dado interlocking side joints for extreme strength.
It has nickel protective corners and a steel reinforced strap handle. All guitar cab grills are secured by screws, not velcro. It is available with either an 8 ohm OR 16 ohm speaker. It has dual 1/4 inch in/out jacks for daisy chaining with other speakers. Dimensions: 17" H x 17" W x 15 1/2" D, Weight approx 45 lbs. with speaker. Limited One year warranty.
Okay...I like this little cab. Easy to move around, sounds very nice and is built like a tank. mine is the "fender" edition, with black tolex and the silver-y grill cloth.

I have an Eminence GB 12 / 8 ohm in mine, which is the open back design. i use it in conjunction with either a Fender Blues Junior (Adding this to the BJr's speaker...so it runs at 4 ohms...no problems) or as an outboard cab with a Fender Blues Deluxe.
With the BJr the cab really rounds out the sound of the amp, making it sound way bigger than the single amp speaker. Adds a load of "fullness" and a slight increase in overall volume due to more air being pushed.
I use it as a satellite speaker with the Blues Deluxe. It sits about 15 feet away from the amp to balance the backline situation-mostly for outdoor gigs. Works fin for this purpose.

Nice cab at 199 bucks. Added the GB 12 (which I had lying around) and it's golden.
