Best lightweight 410 bass cabs?

Thank you for posting this. I am SSSOOOOO close to pulling the trigger on a 4 ohm SL212 for my TH500. Have you discussed this combo at length elsewhere, or here on TB? I'm looking to hear some more experiences, as the little I've read so far has been mixed.

I have not posted anything.
I used it often in 2019 and was planning on using it in 2020 .. 2021 work will resume for us soon and it will go right back into the rotation. It’s plenty loud if needed and has a nice full rich tone. I use it with a Sadowsky 4 string J Style and sometimes with a P Bass. Easy to haul around. No complaints. From what I’ve read the TH500 really shines with this cab as well as the other Aguilar cabs..

GALLIEN-KRUEGER CX410. Bit personally I prefer a pair of the 210s. 37lbs each. Around $800 for the pair.

Awesome to know. I'm an SVT/810 guy and I'm getting back into playing. It's been a while so all the new gear is unfamiliar to me. Just looking for something to best utilize my amp's headroom that isn't super heavy (or expensive!) Thanks!
I used to be a 4-10 guy—- they were very innovative and sounded great.
But speakers and the science behind cabinet design and knowledge have come a long way.
I suggest you try some 2-12 options out there. GK is great for the money, especially use. Or, if budget allows, you can spend more and get amazing sounding stuff. Can’t go wrong with Mesa.
One point— get an 8 ohm option unless you amp is stable at 2 ohms.
If you need more volume, do it with another cabinet, not with more watts.

I owned an Avatar neo 4-10 for a while. I paid about 450 bucks NEW for mine. Yeah, it was a while ago. I had an 8 ohm. A friend uses the 4 ohm with a GB shuttle 9.2- killer. The 4 ohm, with a good powerful head, will push a lot of air, and is one of the best stand alone cabs I ever had. No, it will not handle huge arena gigs by itself- and only big rock endorsed players really use lots of cabs anymore- it's all in FOH...and you'll be buried under the kick drum anyway. Therefore- one Avatar, as a personal monitor, and a DI- is all you'd need for 'live' applications. My cab was about 60 pounds. Not bad for its day- considering my overrated and underbuilt old SWR Goliath, and Ampeg 4-10 each weighed 100 pounds.

Barefaced cabs are famous for lightweight, sound quality and dispersion.
The 410 is 53 lbs / 1000W RMS / 101dB Broadband sensitivity / 30Hz - 6kHz frequency range
The 210 is 31 lbs / 800W RMS / 98 db Broadband sensitivity / 30Hz - 6kHz frequency range

According to users, a Barefaced 210 is often comparable to other brands 410.

Four10
Two10S

And you have a lot of customisation options
