decent light cabinets for rehearsal
bought two of these cabinets and paired them with Eden Terra Nova 501, this way I've got decent and cheap set for rehearsal and gigs. Weight is perfect, cabs handles are comfortable, cabs can be easily carried by one side handle up/downstairs (I live on the 5th floor without a lift).
Quality is decent, but should pass more time to comment more on this.
Sound.. hmm if you prefer slap techniques, modern sound, or heavey music - this is not your choice. Tone is not bright, prones to warm and deep, and like an old equipment I played when was young, perhaps someone will say a bit muddy and boomy, but anyway it fits good in blues, pop/pop-rock, reggae.
IMHO these cabs very similar to Ashdown Toneman 115 Deep I played once, but more budget and weight friendly (118 EUR vs 198 EUR, 15kg vs 27kg!! ).
I guess that more demanding users can replace loudspeaker to Eminence ones in future, so you'll get cheap donor boxes for this
overall: playing mostly reggae I did not have any high hopes on these boxes and even was gonna buy extra something 3-4 times expensive and branded, but now I think not to spent more money, it is enough for my needs, but recommend to have two cabs, to have much more volume and "fat".
Peace! ☮☮☮

Perfect vintage tone
If you want modern, crisp, punchy and full range bass sound, this cab is not for you. This cab gives you round and warm 60's bass tone easily. Response is smooth. It's extremely cheap for these specs. Of course there are some quality issues. I suggest if you buy, quickly change inner cables. These are very thin. There's no insulation material in the cab. It's better you to put some matress or padding through the inner walls to prevent boominess and resonance. I highly recommend this cab to whoever wants smooth vintage tone.

You wont get better at twice the price
A well made retro looking bass cab with a performance well above its price. I never expected this cab to equal the sound of my far more expensive neo-cabs but it surprised me with its overall retro sound, the addition of the tweeter allowed more cut than the cabs of yesteryear there isn't the sub-bass of the expensive cabs, or the punch of the midrange of cabs 3 times the price but it's more than adequate and I would be happy to use it at a gig.
Ok, if you have the money and the need for something more sophisticated then you will get better but in my opinion, you would need to spend at least twice as much to better this and would be unlikely to get better. I would recommend these cabs to anyone.
