Hello again,
I'm looking at getting an Hartke LH500 but I'm worried it won't be loud enough to comfortably power the Hard Rock Cafe in Manchester without a PA system. I'm running it through my new Hartke Hydrive 4x10 (only ever gigged once, by Stu Hamm non the less at Manchester Bass Day 2010!) http://www.hardrock.com/locations/ca...55&MIBenumID=3
This is the venue if you want to get some size perspective.
Will the LH500 be enough or will I have to save up for the LH1000? |

The Hartke HX410 really likes more power because it is a closed cabinet with moderate efficency. 350W against 750W at 8 Ohm. You can hear and feel the difference even at very low volume levels. I liked the LH500 and love the LH1000. |

| | | | I'd love to go for the Kilo but I'm just way to poor :'( To be honest the LH1000 is gonna be a bit of a stretch for me considering I have to get it together before the first gig in january. |

You know, PM Larry Hartke and see what he thinks.

save the extra hundred and get more power! better too have too much than not enough, especially when it comes to headroom.
