acoustic musician looking for a portable speaker cab build

[fattbottom]

need ideas for a portable cabinet utilizing a Peavey blue Marvel 12 and other components. This would be used with a 120 watt power mixer for acoustic guitar and vocal mic coffee house gigs. Looking for portability and true acoustic sound for the guitar and clean smooth tone for vocals.

If you are after a true acoustic guitar sound and clean smooth tone for vocals I personally would use a different speaker . i replaced the BM in my Peavey tube amp pretty quick ,
the eminence coaxial maybe ?

A vote for the Eminence coaxial as well.

BFM's Simplexx 12 PA version would be perfect, uses the Eminence 12" Coax with an Eminence compression driver. DIY would run you in the $200-$250 range.

He asked about using his I assume on-hand Peavey driver. He might be able to use it in the Simplex 12 instrument 2-way version, but that depends on the Peavey driver specs.

Kevinr.................funny you said you replaced your BM from your Peavey tube amp, that is where this one came from. I actually have 2 that I replaced from my Dual 212 with Eminence Governors.............love em. I will check out the coaxial and drivers suggested in later posts....
