Hartke vx410 vs vx215

[MetalcoreBP]

I searched for a good answer on this and I couldn't find a definite answer. Right now I have a vx410 that I feel is too quiet for my needs. I have the volume almost turned all the way up on my amp, Hartke HA3500. Would getting rid of the 410 (8 ohms) for the 215 (4 ohms) make that big of a difference volume wise? I'm going to test the 215 out, but it's tough to tell when there isn't a drummer beating some drums right next to you while trying it out. I'm trying to justify buying the 215 and going through the hassle of selling the 410. In theory the 215 should be a lot louder since it's getting the full 350W, but my 410 isn't really that much louder than my old 75W Peavey combo.

In response to myself...the 215 @ 4ohms is much louder.

well, you are able to use the full 350W now vs 250W max with the 410, and 2*15 is more surface area also.. you could always have got a second 410 cab and be even louder i suspect.
