Custom 2x12 Guitar Cabinet with Vintage Goodmans Audiom 51 Speakers

Description:

Custom-built 2x12 guitar cabinet, expertly crafted by a skilled builder from Rijeka, Croatia. This cabinet is made from high-quality birch plywood, ensuring a sturdy and robust construction. With dimensions of 73cm x 52cm x 52cm and a weight of 26kg, it strikes an ideal balance between portability and sound projection. Every corner of the cabinet is reinforced, making it incredibly solid and durable—truly a well-made piece of gear.

Inside the cabinet is a pair of vintage Goodmans of England Audiom 51 speakers, a rare find for collectors and audio enthusiasts. These 12-inch speakers are each rated at 15 watts (30 watts by US standards) with an impedance of 15 ohms. The Audiom 51 is renowned for its warm, clear sound, making it an excellent choice for vintage guitar tones, PA systems, or hi-fi audio setups.

Note that there is a minor flaw on the paper label on the back of one magnet where a finger went through, but this does not affect functionality. The speakers have been tested and are fully functional.

These speakers have been in my possession for over 10 years. They spent many years safely stored on a shelf before I installed them in this cabinet. I used the cabinet with a custom-built Vox AC15 clone in head format, and the speakers performed beautifully. The paper cones are in excellent condition—still very elastic and not stiff at all. They are in great playing condition.
