Good cab for Hartke HA5500?

Sign in to disble this ad
Hey guys,

I'm just about to enter into the world of owning a head and a cab for the first time. Right now, I'm really liking the sound (ha ha ) of the Hartke HA5500 head.

I haven't bought anything yet, but it sounds to me like the 5500 is exactly what I'm looking for with a nice mix of power/quality/price. I'd like to try one out before I jump in on one but while I'm in limbo I thought I'd ask a few questions.

The first one being what would be a good cab to go with this head? My knowledge of amps is minimal. Right now the two amps I own are an Acoustic B100 (good for practicing at home/with my guitarist friend) and my first amp ever: a 10W Kustom that I use at school.

Thanks!

Get Hartke cab(s) if you go with the HA5500. From my experience and IMO they work best paired (head and cabs from same company)

pm me if you have any questions.

Hydrive HX410 sounded great with my AH3500 and the extra power of the HA5500 would be no problem. For a full rig just add another HX410 and get the full 500 watts.
