Acoustic Stack

I use that same group, and they are just fine.
Old school, thumpy and deep with lots of capacity to flap your socks and punch the crowd.
With two B-410s, you'll be right about at 525 Watts. That load will be 4Ω, and if you wuz crazy like me, you could add another B-410 if you think you can keep the stack - er, stacked. That will give you the full potential of the amp at about 2.67Ω or so.
A single 410 will kick some serious power too. You've got the makings of an expandable and adjustable setup there with low dollars, a great warranty and usually instant replacement at GC if it fails in that warranty period.
I think you may have to buy it first at GC for that to work - but the manager at the GC I used to buy from said he'd take care of any Acoustic gear bought at his store or not.
Into three years of seriously pushing my Acoustic gear hot and hard - I've had no failures other than the connex on one of the speakers getting loose and I just pigtailed that one connection and have had no more troubles.
The B-600H head is a monster and it will light up any venue with tone (6 EQs), a switchable Notch Filter and Standby. There is an XLR out, a Wet/Dry EFX Loop, Tuner OUT, Ground Lift and I have experienced a three speed cooling fan. That's not documented, but that's the way it works.
When you want help to get a dual foot pedal to operate the Notch (On & Off) and Standby (that's great for tuning, silently) - let me know since I've done it and know how.

I have the B600H and the B810 and it is a very sweet rig for the money, I'm sure it would be fine with just a 410(I've used the B600H with my GK 410 and it paired very nicely) although my 410 is 4 ohms as well so there be some slight differences. I really liked it and that blue light is awesome, very bright haha.

They look good on stage, I'm sure the 410 wouldn't be much difference, especially if you stack them as suggested by Surfer Joe.

alright surferjoe i was just wondering on these because i am making a run to guitar center on the 17th to pick up the head and cab cause from when i played it, it was pretty sweet. and martin89 i like the 8 x 10 but id rather get just 2 4 x 10's and chain them together so its a lighter load to carry around when doing gigs and stuff like that

Yeah, I got a good deal on the 810 and it is actually quite easy to move with wheels and I don't really have any small gigs right now. But as far as the head goes, I think you will really like it. I've played quite a few rigs with different setups and can honestly say it holds its own against some more costly setups. It's simple and sounds good. Pretty good starting points from the manual too on suggested settings.
Call me crazy but I enjoy manuals that are actually useful.
