This model is shaped to be used a a stage monitor but I've also stood it upright on one end and used it as a main. It's compact at 20.5" x 13.75" x 13.75" but it's also incredibly lightweight at just 23lbs.
The cab is made from plywood not OSB like lesser cabs...this keeps the weight down. It also uses a P Audio E250N Neodymium speaker that weighs next to nothing yet the cab is rated at a whopping 250 watts RMS. It's a 2-way cab that also has a P Audio PHT404 Horn/driver.
I like the fact that it isn't covered in black fuzzy carpet but rather has a sprayed on coating like a pickup truck bed...they call it Durablast!
The cab has nice rounded edges, feels extremely rugged and sounds killer!

This is a passive cab. The horn driver has a phenolic diaphragm and a cast aluminum horn. The neodymium speaker has a large 2 inch voice coil.
The circuitry doesn't use fuses like most cabs but rather a proprietary compression circuit.
This thing is built with quality components.

This is what it all boils down to...the sound. I'm totally impressed. I wasn't sure of what I was going to get. I ordered direct from Loudspeakers Plus, sight unseen. I was looking for a cost effective cab and it had to be lightweight because I'm getting too old to carry these 60lb cabs around but man was I surprised.
This cab sounds awesome. It has more bass than my 15 main cabs but it's not overpowering...nothing that cant be controlled with the EQ. It has incredible punch and clarity.
What I like best I guess about the sound is that the bass or treble ios not overpowering...they're balanced perfectly and I can get the sound Im looking for out of it for both vocals and instruments. Like I said before...I also use it for my mains at times.

This cab is just 23lbs! My 100lb daughter can carry this! It comes with these spring mounted handles that automatically retract out of the way and there are 2 1/4" jacks built into the handle..recessed for protection.
The cabs have a triple angle wedge shape...I couldn't have designed a better cab myself.
