Gallien Krueger MB210 extension

Sign in to disble this ad
I am jamming with 2 guitars and a drummer playing classic rock. I have an GK MB210. They want more volume. Can I add the
Gallien-Krueger Goldline 410GLX 4x10 Bass Speaker Cabinet to the MB 210? Will they work together?

If you add a 410, just know that the 410 (8ohm) will only get equal power as the 210's in your combo. I ,personally, would add a 115, or another 210.

I'm just killing time here 'til 'GroovinOnFunk' gets here but....ANY 8 ohm cab will do. A 410 is likely to be more efficient than a 210 so if you can lift it, do it. The MBE210 will be here 'sometime' and is made for just that purpose though.

+1 for another 210 or a 115. A 410 and a 210 won't balance well, putting the combo's 2 10's at risk for damage.

There's a reason GLX cabs are always such a "great deal".

Why would the 2x10 be more at risk when combined with a 4x10 than with a 2x10 or 1x15? It's getting the same amount of power whatever way you slice it provided they're all the same impedance.

I would love to add an MBE210 cab to my MB210 Combo. But, as is well known, retailers like GC won't be getting delivery until late June (like, maybe).

If I could find an available 2 x 10 cab that is a good match for the MB210 (8 Ohms, at least 300w RMS and a compatible sound) that does not cost more than $300, I would buy one tomorrow.

Has anyone had any luck with matching a cab to the MB210?

BTW, I also have an MB115 Combo which I play simultaneously with the MB210. So, I do not want to add a 1 x15 or 1 x 12 cab to my MB210.

I hooked one of the MB210s up to a Neo 15 @ my work and it was sexcellent.
I recommend throwing a good 15 under it, 8 ohms of course, so you can run the amp @ 4ohms & get the full "Juicy Juice" out of the amp

Thanks for the laugh!

I have to agree, if you want it to sound huuuuuuge, put a 15 up under there.
