My Cab needs a friend.

I just purchased an Eden D410XLT (8ohms) and am wondering what a good match would be for that. I've been looking and have found some things I can dig on, but it's always good to get a different 'idea' Thanks, eh!

It's safest to pair a cab with an identical one. It gives you more of everything you already have.

I'm sorry, I forgot to enter the word Amp. It's obvious that an identical cab is the best approach. Sorry about the confusion.

These are a couple of questions that'll help to narrow the search:

What styles do you play?
What are your tonal goals?
What basses do you play?
Do you have any "idols" that you really adore the tone of?
What venues will you be playing?
Will you have PA support?

Well, judging from the choice of cabs, perhaps you'd want an Eden or maybe a DNA? I'm not familiar with their amps though, but the looks of a matching stack alone could almost justify it.

There's a vintage VT-40 on the for sale section. There is pretty much no buzz around the company at all now, but there were many fans from these parts. Hope they do manage to turn the tables like how LOUD did with Ampeg.

Agreed my SWR Goliath 8 ohm wants to hang out with another SWR Goliath 8 ohm.

matching cabs is always the safest bet. the reasons most people get non-matching cabs, "i got a 115 to add low end to my 410," is based on looks and nothing that resembles good audio science.
