any cabs large enough to accomodate more than a 400 watt?

[GratefulDude]

well im growing in the c22 or either the c24, cant remember. but i was just curious to know if anyone knows of a larger cab that could accomodate more wattage, such as two 400's a 600 or even a 1000 watt light? Ive thought about buying another c-model cab and attaching them together. But 2 cabs, side by side, 4 doors would look lame, unless i rigged up sliding doors, or 2 new larger doors.
Heres an IKEA cab the 'PAX STORDAL' its quite expensive, but looks like it could handle a 1000 watter with adequate ventilation.

Boy, do I have good news for you. It just so happens that I've spent the last hour researching cabinets and found a company called Tennsco. There are various sizes, but the ones that interest me are 36X24X78 and 48X24X78 ... How amazing! I am so psyched about these. They come in many colors and get this -- you can buy these WITHOUT shelves and save $$$. You can find the jumbo 4 foot long version for something like $200-300 without shelves.
This is too cool.. You can get the doors with locks on them and everything, plus these things are built sturdy and are reinforced.
You can compare from different stores on shopping.msn.com, in their Home > Home Furnishings > Storage > Cabinets > Tennsco directory. Here is a link: http://shopping.msn.com/results/shp/?bCatId=5059,av=2-128166,pagelink=bc

Anyone interested in brainstorming on these cabs?

I'm upgrade my double C22 to 2 600 watters. I post pics sometime soon. So you should have no trouble with a 600 in your cabinet. The key is ventilation -intake is twice the size of the output and a fan of the correct size. I'm currently venting my light plus a carbon scrubber for the cabinet each running a 265 cmf fan.

I used straight brackets and screwed two c-22's together. I replaced one set of doors with plywood (back) and left one set of doors on the front. It made for one bigass cab.

You might want to check out garden sheds. I grow in a "Keter High Shed", it's a nice size for a 400W, 2'x3' flood table, portable A/C, etc.

guys, sorry for letting this thread die. ive been doing a little bit of brainstorming, and man i want to upgrade my wattage and space! i have thought of the dual c22s,the ikea 'pax stordal' and building a custom cab.

with the dual c22 cab, lets say weve got close to 100 inches of length, 22 inches deep, and 71 inches tall. how many watts could one put into the dual c22 withouth overkill, considering that ventilation is not an issue?

im seriously considering the ikea 'pax' cab thats 118 inches long, 2 feet deep, and about 6 feet tall. how much wattage could that beast handle? perhaps 3, 600 watters, or 2 1000 watters?

im thinking maybe 3 600s at the most?
