Luke-2x12TR - Traditional Empty Dual 12" Guitar Cabinet - Black Tolex/Black Cloth Grill
The Luke-2x12TR gives guitar players and amp builders a professional foundation for their custom speaker setup. This empty 2x12" cabinet accepts any guitar speakers you choose, letting you dial in your exact tone without paying for speakers you might not want.
Built from birch plywood on all six sides, this cabinet delivers the resonant qualities and structural integrity that serious players demand. The removable front grill and back panel give you flexibility for front or rear speaker loading, while dual 1/4" connectors on the back panel provide multiple wiring options.
At 28.6 pounds with dimensions of 28.5" x 12.25" x 21.75", the Luke-2x12TR balances portability with substantial low-end response. The black tolex covering and black cloth grill create a professional appearance that works with any amp head. Metal flush corners and dual side handles ensure this cabinet travels well and withstands regular gigging.
Whether you're building a half stack for club gigs, creating a custom studio monitor, or upgrading your home practice setup, this cabinet handles everything from bedroom volumes to stage levels. The included speaker wire and straightforward design make installation simple for any skill level.
The cabinet comes ready to wire with your choice of speakers — just add the drivers that match your sound. Seismic Audio backs this cabinet with a one-year warranty and ships it ready to build.

Frequently Asked Questions
What speakers work best in this cabinet?
Any 12" guitar speakers will fit, but the cabinet's internal volume and birch construction work particularly well with vintage-voiced speakers, high-output ceramics, or boutique drivers. Check your speaker manufacturer's recommendations for cabinet volume to ensure optimal performance.
Can I load speakers from the front and back?
Yes, the Luke-2x12TR supports both front and rear loading. The front cloth grill removes easily for front installation, while the removable back panel allows rear mounting. This flexibility makes speaker changes simple whether you prefer front or rear access.
How do I wire the dual 1/4" jacks?
The cabinet includes plenty of speaker wire to connect your drivers to both output jacks. You can wire them in parallel for lower impedance or series for higher impedance, depending on your amp's requirements. Basic soldering skills are recommended for secure connections.
What size venues can this cabinet handle?
With the right speakers installed, this cabinet works from bedroom practice to club stages holding 200-300 people. The birch construction and internal bracing provide the projection needed for live performance while remaining manageable for transport and storage.
How does this compare to loaded cabinets?
Empty cabinets like the Luke-2x12TR let you choose speakers that match your specific tone goals, often saving money compared to loaded cabinets with premium drivers. You get professional construction quality while maintaining complete control over your sound character.
