1x Speaker Bass Cabinets

Single-speaker bass cabinets are for players who prefer a compact rig and easier transport. They can work at home, in the studio, rehearsal room or on a small stage when their specifications suit the required volume. Models differ in speaker size, weight, power and impedance. Choose them together with the amplifier head rather than by enclosure size alone.

Check power and impedance

The cabinet impedance must be within the range supported by the amplifier head. If you plan to add a second cabinet later, check the total load of the complete connection and ensure it does not fall below the manufacturer’s minimum. Compare power ratings stated on the same basis and remember that a head may deliver different power at different impedances.

When does one speaker make sense?

• Frequent travel: Compare actual weight, dimensions and handle placement.
• Home or recording: Choose power suited to the room and check that the cabinet is easy to position.
• Rehearsals and small gigs: Consider the band’s volume, amp power and any PA support.
• Expandable rig: Check compatibility with a second cabinet before buying.

One speaker does not automatically mean the same sound, power or weight across all models. Compare the complete rig’s specifications, connectors and intended conditions.
