What cabinets are pictured here?...

Def Leppard · 11-07-2008, 11:17 AM

Do you recognize the 4×12 cabinets in this circa 1981 picture?

What can you tell me about them?
What kind are they?
What model are they?
What design are they?
What are they called?
When were they manufactured?
Were they custom made?
Are they discontinued?
Are they available?
What is the cabinet design called when the center of each speaker is wedged both 45º from the nearest side wall of the cabinet and 45º from the back wall of the cabinet on axis?
Did there used to be a grill cloth?
Can you tell me anything about the round speaker grills?

I assume that the cabinets were loaded with Celestion speakers but, I'm more interested in the cabinets themselves.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

Looks like Sunn Model T 4-12" cabs looks like without thier fronts
or special built ones that have the same design
I had two SUNN 6 12" cabs that had the same design
but most likely custom build for who ever was using this

Thanks for responding!
If the fronts come off of either of your 6×12's, would you be so kind as post or e-mail pics of the cabinet(s)?
Thanks again!
