Can the HLF handle the SVT head?

In my experience, the 410HLF can handle almost everything. I miss mine a lot, but that cab was just too heavy for me.

i ran my svt410hlf with my svt-vr for about a year with no problems and i think it sounded great. it wasn't the weight for me, but rather it was so low that it was hassle to use the built-in dolly (towel bar) without hurting my back. i switched to the 610HLF and it was alot easier to move around. now i have an 810 and the weight of moving is a bit much, but i do like having the top speakers closer to ear level.

I used to run this rig.

Yes. It'll handle it, and sound damn good while doing it.

I just picked up an SVT410HLF and am considering putting 4 casters on the bottom. The towel bar is pretty handy for keeping my class D head from vibrating off, but it's seems pretty useless for moving the cab around.

The HLF is a tank, unfortunately just like johnk i sold it due to the shear awkwardness of rolling it around, and it was to heavy to carry alone.

I played this rig at guitar center today and at about volume on 6-7 it sounds like the speakers are gonna blow on the open E? :O

Played through this head/cab config a few times at GC & Jam nights and liked it- I much prefer the 410HLF since it has the extra low end comapred to an 810 or even the 610, but then again I'm a 2x15 guy.

+1. I use this setup for small gigs and rehearsals. Sounds great but dang is it awkward to move it around with the built-in casters. Better off to use a set of hand trucks or hire the Lollipop Guild for roadies.

Same set up here for the past 5 years. Agreed that that the hlf is awkward to move, but does sound good with an SVT on top. This cabinet has lot's of lowend that can get out of hand on stages, so remember to boost the mids and roll back the bass knob on the SVT. Let the natural lows of the cabinet bloom...don't add any, you'll enjoy it more.
I went back to an 810E Heritage cabinet and sold off my hlf a few months ago. Just moving towards a more traditional bass sound, but I miss the 410hlf at times.

I also ran that rig for years with great results. Currently gigging the SVT with the Berg NV215, which is the best sounding rig ever (for me anyway).

I run a SVT-6Pro through mine (1100 watts) and haven't had any problems thus far. I would be wary though about how much of a "tank" it is, though, cause I've read on here more than one testimonial of blowing out speakers....

But yes. It will sound amazing.
