7. A good bass cab has to be hefty, right?

Nope - the formula "heavy = good quality" no longer holds true, fortunately! Tecamp's Thomas Eich was a trailblazer when he was the first manufacturer to recognize the potential of the light and yet very powerful neodymium speakers back in 2000. Over the years, countless other brands followed in his wake, so that even a massive 4X10 cabinet often weighs in at around a mere 20kg nowadays.

For comparison's sake: a bass cabinet with ferrimagnetic speakers will be more than twice as heavy! If you need to carry around your equipment yourself, you should definitely make sure that your cabinets come with neodymium speakers. Your back and spine will be grateful for the rest of your days!

Lightweight: this Aguilar SL112 cab is only a little heavier than 10kg!
