Need to buy some new cabs for my 1001rbII. Neo 4x10 paired with Neo 15 or the 4ohm 212 stand alone? Played through the 212 at a gig, sounded great. 410 and 15 aren't available near me, but can get a great deal for both online. Thoughts and opinions? |

Bars, clubs, larger venues? A 410 should be fine on it own as long as your band isn't the loudest thing ever. Plus most larger venues will have FOH support. I still take a 610 or 810 to these shows but that's because I don't have a smaller cab. |

I have a Neo 212 on top of a Neo 410. Really wish I had just gone with 2 - 212s. They are light and just as articulate to my ears as the 410.
Another 212 is next on my list.

MM | Yeah, I would either roll with the two Neo212-II's or else the 212/410 stack.  |
