210's that handle 400W

[TAZ]

Yeah, it comes down to that... Takes a lot to get me down off the mountain, though...


Stopped at Starving Musician, they had a Carvin 210.
Sounded like it had eaten a bean burrito.
Gonna keep trying.

LOL. Understood. Why go if you can avoid it.

How about this: [Invalid or Expired Link Removed]

I'm using an EBS evo210 (rated at 400W rms), often with 300W rms maxed out... no problems so far.
once we tried this way with a 5 string, the clock hanging on the wall fell off, but the cab handeled the power very well

, will substantially distort after 50 watts du eto limited xmax?

Manufacturers should supply info other than thermal rating... how about max spl?.

Many PA cabs list this, but the spec is false. They calculate it adding total thermal power rating to the base SPL and assume that power versus output is linear, but it isn't, so the spec always ends up 3 to 6dB higher than is actually possible.

xmax limited power?

That would be nice, but it doesn't account for thermal power compresson. As with response the only valid method of arriving at a real world maximum output figure is to measure it.

it seems dishonest to eliminate something so useful that would be so easy to determine while including something that is semi useless.

Sadly the great majority of manufacturers lack the ability to make even a response chart, let alone do in-depth testing.

The Acme, is probably the king of the 210's as far as power handling, and power eating. I'm not sure 400 watts will drive it!

I'm running a LDS 410 with B & C Drivers, that is rated VERY conservatively for 400 watts. I plugged it into Kjungs old Heart Rock and it ate everything the Heart Rock threw at it. It was loud, clean and it thumped. We even plugged in G's 6 string Skjold with an A-tuner and it still stayed clean and loud! Very impressive. All at 41 lbs. and under 550$

I have used the Bag End D10BX-D 4 ohm in the past with a old SWR SM400 and it sounded really good. At the time I was used it I was hosting a open jam at a local club. There were all kinds of basses playing through and it didn't break up at all even when 5 string players with active basses used it.

Now I have a Epifani 210 combo that sounds GREAT, but I'm the only one playing through it now. Never heard a 5 on it. I would recommend the Bag End or Epifani 210 cabs.

A lot of these posts seem to miss the point...which was:

What are some good (and good value) 210's that can handle 400 watts?

Most of the recommendations out are for a simple box with a couple of speakers that they buy from quien sabe. They do a little math (maybe) to see how big the port should be...and that's it. The rest is marketing to make us believe that there is more to it than that.

You want cost effective, good sounding, and has a power rating of over 500 W?

BFM Omni 10 loaded with Eminence Deltalite II 2510s.

A lot of these posts seem to miss the point...

Because we're not recommending BFM cabs?

Whatever, troll.

IMO, 400 watts won't drive it!

Andy Lewis (the manufacturer) admits that the 350-watt nominal power rating listed on the Acme website (www.acmebass.com) is probably a minimum and that 500 watts may be more realistic. I think 500 watts is a minimum and prefer 600-750. Of course, you have to listen and be careful; but, if you've got the clean power, I know of no other 2x10 (admittedly I haven't yet tried them all yet) that provides better clean, clear response across the frequency spectrum AND it delivers a low "B" that I find second to none.

Just another thumper's $.02. Good luck !

The Bergantino HS210 is rated for 400W, and it uses those watts efficiently -- in other words, it's a loud little cab.

 

[hexbass]

Not many people have played or seen one, but Wayne Jones makes a 2 /10 that is rated at 750 watts. I still own one that may be for sale.

Didn't they go out of business? I always wanted one of their cabinets, then when it was time to buy, they had closed down.

I actually got to play a pair of them last year. Good sound. Unusual dimensions (low, wide and deep). What do they weigh?

[hexbass]

The cab weighs 75 or so lbs, the dimensions are 13.38x 20.86x 24.8
and I was wrong, they are rated at 780 watts rms, 1560 peak. I had 3 of them, although I only used them all a couple of times, stacking them vertically was the NAZ!

I have an Avatar B210 with the non-neo Eminence speakers. I think it is rated at 700 watts @ 8 ohms (labeling is not something that Avatar does well). I don't think they sell these anymore (everything is neo), though, but they are out there if you look hard enough.

a third vote for the Boogie 2x10.

once I went boogie, I never went back.

I have the older Avatar B210 and it can handle 700 watts (albeit not with the bass knob maxed)! Anyone with flapping speakers is pushing way too much bass into them!

Eden 210xst = 500 watts

+1

Glockenklang Duo handles 400 Watts.

I really like it, together with a Glockenklang Uno Rock 115.
