yeah man just told em what u guy's said he said he's gonna need to build a half stack so he's just gonna save up.

yea, def save up for 4 nice 12s and a nice head for it. those cheap speakers wouldn't hold up for very long if he was gonna use em for shows.

A cabinet is pretty easy to make, and great speakers can be had. Some of the best reasonable priced speakers known for amazing professional sound are Celestions. They are the most used speaker in guitar cabinets among professional musicians, and they make most of the speakers for many of the big manufacturers (mesa, marshal, carvin... etc). The speakers are reasonably priced -

I bought 4 Vintage 12" ers and put them in a half slant cab wired to 4 ohms that I run a Line-6 into (would love a nice soldano, but $$ is short as a med student). You won't find a quality ported or IB guitar cab from what I have seen, sealed goes low, has accurate reproduction, and sounds amazing.

A good head (or amp if he is looking to not roll a half cab) is going to be a lot tougher to DIY and achieve the sound he wants without a lot of experience or time learning.
