Sign in to disble this ad
I am about to purchase the Fender Rumble 410, and noted that it is only 14.37" deep. My 3U Pearson case. is 18" deep. Should I be worried about my amp hanging over the edge of my cab?

But for what it's worth, so long as you don't knock it over you're fine. My deep SUS-4 rack hangs off about everything.

That way, its actually more secure than a rack that fits on top of the cab.
(You cant pull the case off the cab by accident)

But the size of the cab may be a concern where low end output is concerned. The smaller the cab the less low end output. You might want to shop for a larger cab for that reason. Quote: |

| Then buy used. Pretty and shiny new is nice, but you're (supposedly) not buying it to look at it. |

Ok, my amp is rated 800W at 4 ohms and 1,200W at 2 ohms. Can I even use one 800w 4 ohm cab? I am getting conflicting opinions...
