Ashdown Rootmaster RM-414T or something else? Lightweight cabinets only. Budget 500-600 range

[funeralparties]

The Rootmaster RM-414T offers 450 watts at 4ohm and is only 47ish pounds.

I found a local Markbass New York 122 for around that same price, but it's a 212. I play post-punk and some punk. I'm old, female and can't stomach lugging around the refrigerator on an upcoming tour.

I use a Mesa/Boogie D-800+ amp (400 watts at 4ohm, 800 watts at 2ohm)

Are there any other lighter weight bass cab options I should look at in this price range? Looking for most bang for buck that will play nicely with the D-800+

Depending on your budget, here are a number of options:
-Mesa Subway 112 Mesa/Boogie | 1x12 Subway Bass
-Bergantino NXT 112 NXT112 ‘Neo X-Treme Technology’ Series 1-12″ w/Tweeter | Bass Loudspeaker | Bergantino Audio Systems
-Hartke HL112 HL112 | Hartke (Not sure if the cab can handle the D-800+ power)
-New Ampeg Venture Cabs Ampeg – Bass guitar amplification

Good luck with your search.

I had the same head and now have a Mesa WD800 into a couple of single Subway 1x15's . Both are excellent amplifiers. They pair extremely well with the Mesa Subway line of cabs. The cabs are a little pricey, but light, powerful, sturdy and sound great with those heads. good luck !

PS I see your budget .. check around for used Subways ..but they are worth it if you have to go all out.

Ended up getting the Markbass New York 122 (212 rated at 800 watts with 2ohms). Sounds pretty good. May keep may Headlinre 115 (with Eminence 8ohm 500watt speaker) for some added bump.
