Adding a 2nd cab to SVT7pro/sVT410hlf
- Thread starter phatbass1

I think I've decided to go with the SVT7Pro and (2) SVT410HE 8 ohm cabinets...I believe that will give me the same performance as the SVT810 (8 10's @ 4 ohms). This configuration will also allow me to use a single SVT410HE with the SVT7Pro at smaller gigs (The SVT7Pro is 600 watts @ 8 ohms) and both cabs at larger gigs (1000 watts @ 4 ohms).
Thanks Johnnynitro!
I know that the (2) cab config will sound great...do you ever use your SVT7Pro with just one of the SVT410 cabs? Get enough low end that way? Or do you always use both cabs?
I have always used both cabs. I wanted a 810, But At the time I had a car And I could transport two 410s easier. I did try it with just one cab one time, I remember thinking that it sounded good But the 7pro is a bit too powerfull for just the one cab ! It had good lows But makes me wonder If I were to use just one cab Should I have gotten The SVT 410 HLF ?? Or maybe a 410 hlf Portaflex better (800 watts) ????!?
I had the SVT410HLF and liked it but because its a 4 ohm cab you can't easily add second cab to it...it would need to be another SVT410HLF or other 4 ohm 410 cab to work properly. I also had the Portaflex 410HLF and was underwhelmed with its low end. So...I think the 7Pro with (2) SVT410's is the magic combo for me. Hmmmm...I wonder how (2) SVT15E's would sound with the SVT7Pro?
.
Okay...I just went out and plunked down the cash and am now the proud owner of a new SVT7Pro and (2) new SVT410HE's! They were not in stock so I have to wait a few days to receive them. Thanks to all that helped me make my decision. It is truly great to have a resource like Talk Bass!

Okay...question
I just received my new SVT7Pro and (2) SVT410's.
When looking over the instruction manuals I saw the following diagram (See Below).
It shows "Parallel" and "Daisy Chain" connection options.
It confused me...I was simply going to use the two "Speakon" connections on the back of the SVT7Pro and connect one to each of the (2) SVT410HE cabs giving the amp a 4 ohm load and giving the cabs 1000 watts to evenly share.
Looking at the "Daisy Chain" connection option it shows connecting the first cab to the amp with a "Speakon" and connecting the 2nd can to the first cab using a 1/4" connection.
My question is...how does "Daisy Chaining" impact the impedance/power output of the amp? Again...I'm looking for 1000 Watts from the SVT7Pro into (2) SVT410HE's

I just plug in two cables to the 7pro & One into each cab(Parallel) Have read it dosn't make any difference ! But see what the pro's say !!

It doesn't make a difference whether you daisy chain or whether you use both speaker outs on the head. Same results.
Thanks JimmyM!...that's what I was hoping the answer would be. The way the manual reads it makes it sound like there is a difference in the load on the amp. Why else would they include a diagram that shows two distinctly different ways to connect the cabs? Confusing!
Thanks again everyone for all the help!
Here is the new rig:
Have not gigged with it yet but (2) shows on Saturday. The first gig is an afternoon outside show so I will be using both cabs...2nd gig is in a smallish club so just a single cab for that one. Great way to get my first impressions of the new rig. Gonna use my Classic Stingray 4 for both shows.
I have same problem - same amp, same cab 
I have another one solution for stage - but i play little bit different kind of music.
This is my thread :
http://www.talkbass.com/threads/ampeg-svt7pro-svt410hlf-another-one-2x10-2x15-cab.1104723/
Can you compare 2x410 HE with 1x410HLF in sub-bass out ?
810 is fail because my car don't have such space, but 2x410hlf or 2x410HE is OK.
There is 2 solution for stage :
- sell 410HLF & buy 2x410HE
- sell SVT7PRO & buy full-tube head. + another one 410HLF
I think in my case (based on my style) is better second choice.
