I'm dreaming of a sealed 810 but I'm not gonna haul that thing around. If I ever get a road gig sure but just gigging around town no way. Is there anyway to get that punchy sound in a smaller package?

810 dreaming...

Probably it's little brother the ampeg 410he.. But all honestly a 810 is the easiest thing to move around unless you have a car or deal with alot of stairs, it'll be easier with two people depending on stares but you'll most likely need two people for a 4x10 too.. Trust me I had both, one had a built in dolly but was a little heavier the other had to lift over anything it couldn't roll on like doors, easier to just pull
get 4 x 8ohm eden 210XST cabs and a 2ohm capable head with lots of power 
it's like a lego bass amp fit for any size gig!
EDIT: Just don't stand directly in front of the full rig if you want to keep your organs in place!

Any of the Aguilar stuff worth looking at? My buddy is an endorser and could get me a sweet deal I'm sure.
honestly the 810 cab isn't that hard to move around, its TOTALLY worth the minimal effort it takes to push it on 2 wheels. with the help of one person, you can lift it onto a stage or whatever (you would need help with a 410 anyway).
go for it!
i couldnt imagine using anything else.

i have no problems lugging my 810 around. even putting it up on stage i lift it and slide the back rails on the stage and pull it up. its easy but then again im 6 foot 4 240lbs lol
I've found my band prefers the 810. Our guitar player says we need to "go big or go home". My band mates see a big cab and they offer to help. With the 410 I'm always on my own. So in my particular situation the 810 is much easier to gig with.
I also find my 410 sounds thinner (less bottom) than my 810 (both ampeg).
I have also heard great things about the Bergantino 610nv but have yet to try one.

One SVT-410HE, no way - two, yeah - it'd be close - but at that point, two of those are actually more hassle to schlep around than 1 fridge, IMO...

This queation has been asked so many times and ht eanswer is always the same - Bergantino NV610. More transportable, more volume and more tone.
ANother vote 4 the NV610- IMO & many other's opinion- sounds a LOT better than the modern SVT810 & is lighter(LOTS) & FAR Easier to move about than almost every 410 I've tried. I DO with the NV610 the same as mentioned above w/ an 810- roll to stage- tilt over(Oh -I installed skid rails on it's rear) slide the thing on it's rails onto stage, then lift/tilt the NV610 upright. FAR Easier than the old SVT410HLF I used to own. I imagine the ONLY 410's with a SLIGHT advantage over this'd be sumthin' like a Mark bass or Berg 410 loaded with neo drivers. Even then, I'd be wanting a dolly/hand truck to get the cab INTO the venue. A LOTTA venues stages are at rear-many DONT have easy access to stages & I ALWAYS carry a handtruck/trolley & use this for virtually EVERYTHING- except the NV610- which rolls in easy as, on it's OWN 2 wheels.... & the sound.... AMAZING
