Rumble 410

[Dustin Teel]

Just wondering if anyone has owned one yet and can tell us how they hold up.

Been scouring the internet for weeks looking for an in-depth review with no luck...

Does anyone know if Fender finally released the frequency response?

I have no first-hand experience with owning them, but I heard 2 at a local gig, they sound pretty cracking! If they weren't 4 ohm, I would definitely get 2

I dont know allot about the rumble 410 but I have their 30w kickback that I use for small gigs and its killer. Its much louder and cleaner sounding than other 30 watt combo's I tried against it. I also use a Fender 210- 250 watt combo as my main gigging amp and its been rock solid for 5 years, not an issue and, I use it indooors and out.

I used one for a month in May, and liked it ... but returned it eventually. It can't handle low end at high volumes. I run a Hartke LH500 which is rated at 500 watts (I believe the Rumble is rated for 600?), and I don't push my amp too much, never much past about 1 o'clock, with the bass at about 1 o'clock also. It would start farting out when I dig in. I picked up a used Eden D410T instead, and have only had it fart out at all (just briefly, then I backed off the level a tiny bit) during a gig in a large hall which only had one sub PA support. I'm sure the Fender would have struggled on that gig. It is also made of particleboard which is pretty flimsy to the touch (I opened up and removed a speaker to look inside). IMO the Fender Rumble 410 should be rated at about 350-400 watts, in reality. But I did like the tone of the cab overall - if you don't need it for anything too high-powered, it would be a nice cab, and it's both cheap and light!

Yeah, the price is unbelievable. I have a Hartke 5500c head and I figured I could get one since they are relatively light, powerful, transportable, and rated at 4 ohms. My only concern was that Fender did overstate the wattage, and it wouldn't be able to handle the 500 watts from the Hartke. I hate speaker farts. (Don't we all)

However, the 5500c head does have a built-in compressor which does a great job of preventing distortion and volume-peaks, in my opinion.

Based on your experience, do you think that, if the LH500 had a built in compressor, the Rumble 410 would have been able to handle it at say, half volume?

I'm not trying to tear down the walls with this thing, I just need something for our medium-sized gigs that preferably doesn't weigh a ton. I'm using a Peavey 4x12 TVX cab right now and... good god. It's only like 160 pounds.

The LH500 does have a built-in comp/limiter (fixed) which probably helps as you say. The Rumble us good for med. sized rooms - I just wanted a cab that could handle all my gigs, and the Eden fits the bill.

To answer your question more directly: if you think of it as a sub-400 watt cab, it's great, especially for the money.
