The guy in the add mentioned both RoadReady and Powerhouse, so I'm confused now. Anyone ever used one of these cabs? Does anyone know anything about it and which series it is?

Definitely looks like a road ready cab. It almost looks like it's two 4x10 road ready cabs with a 8x10 road ready frame.

Do you think that's the case here? And howdy right back to you! Didn't think there were many of us TB'ers here in this area!

The earliest powerhouse 8x10's had two grills before they moved to the single 8x10 grill. It's definitely an 8x10, don't worry about it.

I wish there was someone in my area wanting to swap me one of these for my Ampeg fridge

The only reason I would hesitate is, that thing weighs almost as much as a Mazda Miata.

Mesa road ready is a good cab, I've played through many, just a little hefty that's all

The weight betweenthe two is negligable; their dimentions are going to be nearly alike and at this size, there is no "bearhuggin" your amp to get it offthe ground.

Go with sound on this one

Yeah...I've been reading/researching road ready mesa 810 cabs. Does anyone know the exact dimensions of the cab? I read somewhere they are (H x W x D) 55" x 29" x 26" Can anyone verify? If this is true that cab is HUGE!
