Good over sized 112 cabinet?

Anyone know of a good oversized 112 guitar cab for a small rig? Maybe something like 24x20x12.

Thanks!

Dr Z convertible 1X12. It is pretty big in size and sound. You can take the back panels off and have a semi open back. Quality design and construction.

I don't know about those dimensions. I have a LOPOline large 1x12.

It's pretty solid and sounds good. Not too pricey either.

The best 1x12 that I have played is the one that I bought last week: Port City Oversize 1x12. It is a ported cab and sounds HUGE... check out their website.

You said "good"... but if you want the "best"... the Stone Age 1x12B is the stuff dreams are made of;

Nice price, top notch. Look at his list of clients.

+1 And no way mine weighs anything near 45 lbs, and that's with a Celestion Sidewinder in it.

I had a chance to compare the Port City 2x12 to a few closed and open cabs. I thought it had the best qualities of each. If you get a chance, check them out - very cool sounding cabs. Also, their 2x12 is not real big size-wise...

Don't know if that is big enough for you but I use it with a large JudyBox head.

Thanks guys, I am starting to think the Avatar Vintage 1x12 is the way to go.

I don't want to break the bank on the cabinet. I have friends who have had expensive Bogner cabs and Avatar cabs and preferred the Avatar so that tells me something....assuming you use good speakers.

Have one of these too. What it lacks in height (compared to the Avatar Vintage, with the big-a$$ logo), it makes up for in depth compared to others. Very reasonable at $176; I had side recessed handles installed by Lopo rather than the top handle. Works for me.
