Can the HLF handle the SVT head? |

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

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.

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. |

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.

But yes. It will sound amazing. | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
