4 ohm Sealed 410

Are you sure it's switchable between 4 and 8 ohms? That doesn't sound right.

The Guru's around here have confirmed it is due to a legitimate Dual voice Coil, but may have some sensitivity tradeoffs.
I only knew of the switchable 1x12 however if they have transferred the technology it should suit your purpose.
Also, a noted ampeg 8x10 lover has voiced some great opinions on the Hydrive cabinets as well.


oops to quick to the punch... but the Hydrive is an 8 ohm sealed cab. it may work with teh 2 ohm trick, check with Larry Hartke.
 
Does anyone ever load bass drivers into the sealed Avatar 4 x 10 guitar cabs? I've always wanted to try this, but people keep telling me it's a bad idea. I figure I would lose lows, but that's how the SVT 810s work, right?
 
I got a b2-re as my first bass head. I wanted to get the full load since it is very quiet at 8ohm so at my local music shop I bought a peavey 410 cab that was 4ohm ... not the place i bought it but here it is:

The good news is it made the b2-re much more usable and has great low end... the bad news I could barely fit it in my honda accord 4 door! It is a giant 410 cab.. but then again I don't have experience with such things.

I paid around 350$ new for it.

*Oh wait... "sealed" not sure what that means exactly.. this one is front ported which doesn't sound "sealed" to me.*
