a good 2ohm 210 cab

growler571 · #1 03-25-2010, 12:01 AM

Can someone please list me some good 4ohm 210 cabs. I need to get a 210 cab to pair with my 215xl hartke for mor high end clarity. I plan on running my peavey Mark8 at 2ohms. I think it is about 650 watts at 2ohms. Any suggestions?

are you sure you want a two ohm cab? if you're pairing it with another cab, you'll be below a 2 ohm load.

I don't know of any two-ohm cabs, but this is a case where you could re-wire an 8-ohm cab to two ohms, assuming the 8-ohm cab has two four-ohm speakers in series. You could just re-wire them in parallel, and you're home. It won't work if the 8-ohm cab has two 16-ohm speakers in parallel, though.

You could try loading a cab with two PEAVEY Sheffield® TVX 1035-4ohm speakers. Spec-wise, they don't appear to be very efficient (SPL 91.4). The "Power capacity: 300 W Peak 150 W Program 75 W Continuous," doesn't impress, either. That being said, I put one in my PEAVEY MINX 110 Combo. After porting and insulating the cab, I now have a 50w@4ohm as opposed to the stock 35w@8ohm. Using my BDDI into the effects jack gives me a nice sounding LOUD amp! I've never been one to favor the muddy/booming sound that seems to be the norm, so it works fine for my use.

I should re-read the OP, because I wonder how two 2ohm cabs would work with one head. Oh well, "There are always options, Number One."

Sorry, a ST-TNG movie is on!

Sorry I meant a 4ohm cab...

You can edit the subject line. That might elicit some helpful replies. IMHO, you can't go too far wrong with cabs from Epifani, Bergantino, EA, Aguilar, Avatar, Eden, Accugroove, Acme, Schroeder, etc.

See the problem? If you have a budget, power handling, weight, size, and general sound-type in mind, it might help. Might.

I'd dump the Hartke if you think it's on the muddy side and start from scratch. Pairing it with a clearer cab isn't the answer, it's still a muddy sounding cab. Also, 10" drivers aren't always clearer up high just because of the smaller diameter, there are other factors that make more difference than diameter.

Try a 4Ω 2x12 Avatar by itself and see if it works, get an additional one if you need to.

One other thing, 1x12 and 2x10 4Ω cabs can be difficult to sell since they're too small as a stand alone cab for the 4Ω heads that most buyers will have, been there, done that...

I've got an Avatar 2x10 4 ohm, loaded with Eminence Kappa Pros. WOW. This is one BADASS 2x10!!!!!!

Plenty of good advice here about ditching a 'muddy' cab, but if a 4 ohm 2x10 is what you want -- for the money, I doubt you'll find a better deal than Avatar. (I've run my SVT-CL thru my 2x10 on several gigs & it can handle that big load tremendously!!!!)
