4 Ohm 4x10 cabs?

Firkinahsoul said it: Most of the cabinet manufacturers make 4/10 boxes. What you will like will depend on the tone you like and the amount of money you're willing to spend after you decide (if you haven't already) what head or rack combo you want. If you haven't decided on a head, it might be best to start hitting the stores and trying every combination of amp/cabinet you can find.

The only company I can think of that DOESN'T make a 4ohmer is Basson.
actually, until recently a lot of companies only made 8 ohm 4x10 boxes. i think it was probably a $ saving thing. they only made/bought 8 ohm 10" drivers, so you could pretty much get either an 8 ohm 4x10 or a 4 ohm 2x10. i know bag end still does this. the original swr goliath 1 and 2 series were like this as well.
 
I have an ancient peavey 4x10 that is 4 ohms, I believe it handles 300 watts... I still use it a lot for ongoing rehersals and shows where I have to leave equipment there for extended periods of time while still working other gigs... Still sounds great...
