I am about to purchase an Aguilar TH 500 head and am having trouble making the decision on whether to go with the DB 410 cab or run 2 112 cabs together? I play a fender jazz and musicman sterling 4H.

(2) 112 cabs at 8 ohm or a 410 cab at 4 ohm?

Really it is personal preference..
I went from an svt410hlf to (2) GS112's... More so for a modular look on things and easy of transporting.
I loved the tone of the Ampeg, but I am also very happy with the Aggies....

2 twelves have the dispersion of 12"'s
4x10 has the dispersion of a 22".
Playing without PA support this is a dealbreaker for me.

If this : Invalid Link Removed is the 1x12 cabinet you are considering and this : Invalid Link Removed is the 4x10 cabinet you are considering I would definitely get the 4x10 cabinet. It is far more sensitive than two of those 12s would be - 104dB vs 95dB x 2 or 98dB. That is, if the specifications are accurate. On the downside, it weighs 98 pounds and the 112 weighs 45 pounds.
I would be more likely to consider a Barefaced cabinet. Their 2x15 cabinet weighs 49 pounds and their 2x12 cabinet weighs 40 and is nearly as sensitive as the DB410 - 102 vs 104dB.
That's just me though.

I use a DB212 and 2) DB112's. I used SWR Goliath 3's before that. The 12's have plenty of stage presence. They are full, punchy and warm. I've never played the DB410, but I'm sure it kills to. The small footprint of the DB112 stack is quite nice and the volume and presence is just as good as the DB212.
