This review is for the Acoustic Amplification B410 bass cabinet, sold by Guitar Center. It's street price is $299 but I got it on sale for $249.
I tried the B115 at the same time that I tried the B410 and I settled on the B410 because of it's higher power handling, and the fact that it seemed to have better note definition in the midrange than it's 15" cousin did. I really wanted the 15" because it sounded deeper in the extreme low end but I think that was because the amp was displayed as a full stack, with the 15" cab on the bottom. When I got the 410 down on the ground, it coupled with the floor and delivered up the low-end goods in spades.
This is a great sounding cabinet, and not just "for the money". It is really full and punchy, but depending on the eq setting it can be mellow and round sounding too. It really holds down the bottom end with a band very nicely indeed. I bought the matching Acoustic B200H amp head with the cab, and the two together are a fine match. It is a very efficient cabinet. I saw a spec of 102dB at one meter, with one watt input...which is very good. This spec isn't in the literature anywhere, and I saw it in a post from someone who should know. I'll say this; it's a loud cab and the amp doesn't even break a sweat while it's cranking. In fact, yesterday I played with a full band, loud, for over 3 hours and the amp wasn't even warm to the touch afterward.
I am able to get a nice, wide variety of tones out of this cabinet. From deep, heavy lows to sparkly, clear highs. It works well for any kind of playing that I've thrown at it, from slap to funk, to jazz and classic soul sounds and hard rock n roll.
I haven't heard a rattle or other unwanted noise from it...unless you call my playing mistakes unwanted noise! Time will tell, but out of the box, it has surpassed my expectations. I completely recommend this speaker cabinet. In fact, I think while they're still cheap I'm going to pick up another one as a backup/full stack option. A great value. I just wish the wheels had been included...so I'll give it a "9".
