Hartke 4x10 XL

[Billy K]

Is 140.00 a good price for a used Hartke 4x10 xl?Some dings in the carpet can that be replaced DIY?I think I saw the carpet on sTEW/MAC.And or cleaning it anyone clean(carpet cleaner) their Cab?It seems this cab has been in storage for a while dusty.I see speakers for 35 bucks apiece so if I neede one or two I am still around 210.what d some of you think?

As long as everything works, I'd say $140 is a good price, yes.

Great deal. These cabs will last forever if you use compression to smooth out the peaks, and (speaking from first-hand experience ), don't try to play a 5 through one.

Yeah it's a pretty good price as long as it works. If you don't end up liking the tone it produces, then it's not really too much of a loss.

Interesting... I use Hartke stuff, including 210XLs and 2.5XLs... I play 5 strings and haven't had any problems in the several years that I've owned the cabs. (I do use some compression.) Then again, I usually biamp with 115XLs on the bottom; if I travel to practice, I might use a single 210XL but at a fairly low level. YMMV.

I also sub for a guy who uses a 5 through 2 410XLs. He does not biamp. Sounds great...

I bought some of my cabs used. I'd say $140 is a great deal for that cab. Mine cleaned up great with a shop vac and a lint roller. I never replaced a divot; I just used a permanent marker to render them invisible. Same with all the discolored spots on the grills. Not exactly fine-art-restoration, but I think they look great.
