SWR cab

[SWRbassJC]

Looking for some advice. I currently run an SWR super redhead and absolutly love the tone. I'm am now looking to add an extention cab to it for added volume, height and tone. I have been thinking about the Sob of Bertha 1x15 inch cab, Goliath jr 210 cab or Goliath 410 cab. Money is tight at the moment so have been mainly looking in the second hand sections. The 1x15's are never available 2nd hand. There is a Goliath jr iii and a Goliath ii.

So my question is. Which do you guys feel will be best and if I went with the Goliath ii Cab would I get phasing issues between the redhead 210 speakers and the Goliath cab speakers as they were made at differant times and therefore probably carry differant speakers.

The son of bertha cab is £550 new
Goliath jr iii £300 2nd hand
Goliath ii is £275 2nd hand.

Thanks SWRbassJC

The Goliath will give you the 4x10 configuration that would probably be better than the 2x10/1x15 configuration. The Goliath Jr. II is a 4 ohm cab; the Goliath Jr. III come in both 4 ohms and 8 ohms. A 4 ohm extension cab will take advantage of the amps full power of 450 watts at 2 ohms; however, it will run a lot hotter and, while the SWR's are designed to handle 2 ohms, you may be setting yourself up for problems in the long run. An 8 ohm extension cab will give you 400 watts total in the 2.67 ohms that the amp is seeing from the cabs.

One thing to consider: the owner's manual for the SWR Super Redhead recommends the 8 ohm Goliath Jr. III cab over the 4 ohm. Might want to take heed.
