Ampeg 410 HLF to a 610 HLF?

[PBass2004]

Love to get some feedback Bass lovers on whether i should upgrade to an Ampeg 610 HLF from my current 410 HLF.

My 410 HLF i own pretty much covers most venues i play at regularly with the exception of a couple outdoor gigs coming up soon. But in saying this i will be through front of house (DI'd).

Is there much more to gain out of getting the 610 HLF? The 810 would just be too much, so if anything i'd grab a 610.
The 410 HLF is a little awkward to move into the car etc...as it's quite deep.

Man....the 610's look the goods though :-)

I've heard and owned better cabs than the 610HLF. It's not terrible, I was just never satisfied with the tone. I knew I liked this or that cab better already so y'know...

Oh, and let me clarify, I'm a big fan of some Ampeg amps, just not necessarily all of their cabinets in their lineup.

The 610 is similar to the 410 in the porting, but honestly, it's a different monster. More midrange for sure out of the 610hlf. For outdoor shows, you could just grab another 410hlf or put the 410hlf on a dummy cab of some sort to hear it better.

I think the 610hlf gets some neg feedback on here because it goes lower than the 810e but not as low as the 410hlf. I think it's a nice sounding cab...the 810e's still my favorite but the 610hlf is cool if you like a bigger low end.
