Jackson 4x12 Speaker Cabinet

I love the sound of the cab with my crate head. its got alot of crunch which is perfect for metal and music of that type.

It has very high sustain, the onei got doesnt rattle no matter how high i turn it up.

From what i have seen it would work perfect for a small venue like what i have around here. i probably wouldnt need a back up

I am using the cab with a crate GFX1600 head anf a schecter C1 she devil. that set up is amazing. when i first got the cab a compared it to a B52. I would buy it if i got stolen or lost but they dont make them anymore.

This cabinet seems to do the trick for me I to got this used to be used for my Carvin X100B tube amp I play many different styles of music and it sounds out right for each rather it be old jazz or hard core ripping and shredding tones its covered in the same style of felt covering that my Carvin head has in it and the only thing I had to do was to put casters on it no complaints though as I seem to have gotten a steal on this one.

I guess I answered this one in the first step of the review the sound is good,don't know who made the speakers for this cab but I'm fairly happy with it.

Never had the need for a back up though I've had it since 1997 or some time in that general time frame,and am now thinking of getting celestrian speakers for replacements.

As I bought it used there was no customer service

Hi i never investigated why this cab sounded soo good as i have learned through these reviews maybe its fane speakers. i am just learning about ohms so the person who i dentified the 4 and 8 ohm feature thank you,, gonna get a thd hot plate 4 ohm i think? and i play through a fender deville 4x12 combo so , have never been let down by this cab after reading reviews have even more confidence now

I play in a hardcore band and a screamo band and this cab screams.It meets any demands i have ever had from it great highs and lows. The other guitarest in my band plays threw a line 6 2-12 spider and the jackson will out sound it and the drum set anyday. I play a carvin 100w tube amp threw it and i get all the tones i can get out of it i bought it from a friend didnt really like the red speakers or the grill but it makes up for it in tone. the god damn thing is so heavy and had no casters so i had to put them on.

I have ben playing shows with this cab for about a year now and i used to bring a carvin 2-12 little cab as a back up. but after all i have put this thing threw i wouldnt think of it ever breaking. I have droped the cab off of a truck fallen over tons of times in the back of the same truck. the fury carpet stuff has saved me as well as the grill. if not for them there would be rips and tears every ware.besides its weight i have had no problums with it im not complaining ether. its nice to know its not going to break.

i dont think that there is any take it to a speaker guy?

well i think this cab rocks. never had a signal problum . and i will continue to use it till it breaks and i will try to get a new one.

I guess it's early 90s. I play punk, metal, alternative and emo through it with a Randall Rh100. It's 16ohm mono and 120 watts with celestion vintage 30s. I found it at a pawn shop, it kicks ass pretty much.

I use an Ibanex AX120 with my Randall. It fucking rules, this cab handles anything I dish out.

It seems pretty reliable, I could probably drop it down the stairs and it'd be okay. It's got a huge metal grill on the front, heavy as hell.

I doubt Jackson services these anymore. If anyone has or knows where to get info on any Jackson cabs, please let me know.

I've been playing for like 2 or 3 years, i dont remember cause i started on bass 6 years ago then switched. If it were stolen I'd just get a Randall cab...I doubt i'd find this one again.

Early 90's I believe. I play punk/metal no pop stuff. It handles like a dream. Two stereo and two mono jacks, 8 and 4 ohm. Isnt made with casters but I added some cuz this thing ways like 5,000 punds.

I use a Peavey 5150, Alesis 3630 Rackmount compression, and i play a Esp Viper 301 with a EMG 81 in the bridge. I originally thought the speakers where Eminence but a friend told me they where celestion for sure, I recently found out they are Eminence. Never craps out!

Very reliable it is as road ready as a cabinet could be without being set in a road case. Thick metal grill, what looks like support screws on the speakers and heavy /thick wood construction.

never dealt with them but they prolly caouldnt help, seeing as how they havent made them forever.

Great looks, Great versatility, Great sound. I still like JCM 900 1960 cabs as well but for the price I found this cab at I wouldnt think twice.

I just got a Jackson 4x12 in great condition at a pawn shop about a week ago. I cant really find any info on them on the web, it seems there pretty rare. It probably weighs around anywhere from 80-100 pounds. Its rated at 200watts stereo, has 2 stereo inputs, and 2 mono inputs.

I play alot of heavy crunch and loud cleans. This amp can wale. Its built like no cab ive ever used before. It doesnt have casters, as I believe a big cab sounds better grounded.

Very solid amp, extremely reliable as far as ive had it.

It isnt made anymore, if ive heard right.

As far as im concerned, this is my dream cab. I love every inch of it. Its a great cab, with a great sound.

older non red speakers,,,black carpeted cab,,thicker on the bottom then the top....the speakers are grayish blue in color,,i pulled one out and it is a 50 watt Fane,,the same one used in Sound City cabs...

I use this cab with a Demeter TGA head, they match up fantastic,,smooth highs, sweet mids, and a tight piano like bass responce....the clean is very open and big,,,the distortion very smooth and wide,,easy to control. the leads cut very easy and the tones are easy on the ears,,,no harshness here....

i think i can roll this off a building, and it would survive...built like a tank....the speakers are very responsive, and seem to open up as you push them....i don't think i will blow these up any time soon....

good luck....

I went in the store to buy a marshall jcm800 cab, and tryed out the jackson cab side by side, and the jackson sounded alot better in all facits,,,better in everyway,,,$100 cheaper also,,,,,i was very surprized to find Fane speakers in this cab,,,they are the cheaper Fane's, but a fane is a fane,,,,great sounding.....

Was made circa 1990 when Jackson was dabbling in amplifiers. Does all the frills that a speaker cabinet would need. Runs 4 ohms mono and 8 ohms stereo output. I've tried the 8 ohm stereo and it is a dream. More often though, I use the 4 ohm input. This amp is responsive enough to use at bedroom levels with a mid-wattage (25-50 watt) amp head, and really shines at concert levels. I believe the speakers are rated at 100 watts, specs are hard to come by for these things. They're extremely rare and with good reason.

I have been alternating between a solid state Fender RocPro 1000 and Marshall JCM2550 with this cab. For guitars I use either a modded Mexican Fender Strat or (more regularly) a Parker Fly Classic. As I stated before, the cab can handle very high volume from the 100 watt fender head blissfully. I think that it really shines with the all tube Marshall though. Cleans are crisp and dirty parts can go from all out distortion to crunchy jazz without the speakers missing a beat. Whisper quiet in silent parts due to the great noise-dampening that's been done to them. The speakers do not ever distort when on clean channel, but they do add warmth to the distortion. A paradox I don't quite understand, but definately approve of.

This thing is not built like a tank, but rather like the gates to a castle out of the Dark Ages. The black metal grill is distinctive and actually quite tasteful. The amp is carpeted for aesthetic purposes. The amp has never broken down, and most likely never will. In fact it had better not, because they don't make these amps any more.

Never dealt with them. I'm sure they wouldn't repair a model that's been out of production for this many years. I'm sure I could find a professional to handle it though. No waranty on vintage goods.

I have been playing for nearly ten years now, and along with the aforementioned amps, I own numerous bass guitar and acoustic guitar products as well as a few classical instruments. If this thing were stolen I would start looking for another one all over again. Definately. I love this thing's tone and versatility, it really doesn't get better than this. I know that this aspect of the setup seems trivial to most players, but neither amp nor guitar can shine without good speakers producing the noise. The matching cabinet isn't always the best option, just the easiest. Keep your ears open and don't close your mind prematurely.
