How to date a cabinet by serial number?

[powertube]

I know how to tell the date from the amp heads, but what about the cabs? I just bought a used one and I'm curious.

This is a very old thread i found as i was reading up on the forum about speakers since i just got a new cab and wondering about speaker pairings. I just found the answer to this question today so if someone is looking for the same info some day, it will be available.

The first number in serial number on splawn cabs is either a 2 or a 4 which identifies wether it's a 2x12 or 4x12.

The 3rd amd 4th number are the year the cab was made.

So if serial number is
42130025.......this is a 4x12 made in 2013. Not sure but might be the 25th one made in 2013.

Thanks briman.

I will add this to my 'How to read your Serial Number' Thread in the FAQ subforum.
