First introduced decades ago and now making a triumphant return, this cabinet merges the best of open- and closed-back designs into one versatile powerhouse. The upper chamber's open-back design delivers shimmering cleans and rich harmonic overtones, while the lower sealed-back chamber brings the tight, focused punch that high-gain players crave.

Designed and handcrafted in Petaluma, California, this cabinet is road-ready, tour-tough and packed with the tonal versatility to inspire new sonic landscapes.
Split Back Design for Unmatched Tonal Versatility
The hallmark of the MESA/Boogie Split Back design is its hybrid approach to speaker cabinet construction. The top half features an open-back chamber, providing an airy, spacious quality that shines on clean tones and edge-of-breakup sounds. The lower sealed-back section tightens up the low end, delivering the percussive thump and aggressive punch that makes heavier styles roar. This dual-chamber approach creates a versatile tonal spectrum, eliminating the need for multiple cabs to cover a wide range of sounds. Whether you're chasing glassy cleans or thick, articulate distortion, the Split Back 4x12 has you covered.
Celestion C90 and Vintage 30 Speakers: The Perfect Pairing
The MESA/Boogie Vintage Split Back 4x12 is built to harness the best tonal characteristics of two iconic Celestion speaker types. The top open-back section houses two Celestion C90s, renowned for their smooth mids, crisp highs and robust low-end response. In the lower sealed section, two Celestion Vintage 30s push out that classic Brit-flavored midrange scoop along with tight lows and a harmonically rich top end. Together, this combination covers everything from sparkling cleans and soaring leads to chunky, growling rhythm tones��all with the dynamic response and clarity you expect from a premium MESA cabinet.
Road-Ready Baltic Birch and Black Bronco Tolex Construction
Crafted from void-free, marine-grade Baltic birch and wrapped in Black Bronco Tolex, the Split Back 4x12 is built to endure the toughest tours. Reinforced leather corners and a rugged black metal grille add durability while maintaining that classic MESA aesthetic. Track-Loc removable casters make transport easy and secure, letting you roll on and off stage without breaking a sweat. For extra protection during transport, a fitted slipcover comes included. It's a cabinet designed to take a beating while delivering pristine, powerful tone every night.
Stereo or Mono Operation��Versatility Unlocked
Whether you're running a single head or a stereo rig, the MESA/Boogie Vintage Split Back 4x12 has you covered. The rear jack plate offers standard mono operation at 8 ohms, along with a parallel mono output to link an additional 8-ohm cabinet. For stereo setups, the Split Mode inputs divide the cabinet into left and right halves, running at 4 ohms per side��perfect for wet/dry/wet rigs or dual-amp configurations. It's a level of flexibility that makes the Split Back 4x12 a powerful tool for stage and studio alike.
