Cab Recommendations

[EthanFriedman4]

Hello all,
I am in search of a recommendation for a cab, the amp I have is an acoustic b300hd. I'm looking for something that can handle 4 ohms and 300 watts without weighing a ton. Thanks in advance!

I recommend the Barefaced Two 10 S: 28lbs, 400 W (Max 800 W), 4 Ohms.

Your limiting factor is the 4 Ohms requirement, because most of the time a 1x12 inch will be only runing at 8 Ohms, you'll need to go for a 2x12 to get 4 Ohms, and it's not going to be ultra light.

But you can use the search engine on Thomann's website and enter your criteria:
here's an example with 4 Ohms, minimum 300 W, maximum 20 Kg -> adjust the criteria on the left if necessary

Any reason for the 4 ohm need? An 8 ohm cab with higher sensitivity can be louder than a 4 ohm cab with lower sensitivity (despite getting only "half" the wattage from the amp). Plus, with an 8 ohm cabinet, you can add another one later.

Your budget and what you want this thing to sound like will be factored into the answers you receive.

+1000 for @BassNugget comment.
I made the mistake of buying a 4 ohms cabinet, and now I'm stuck not being able to add another cabinet, as my amp won't do less than 4 ohms.

Also, there are a lot more 8 ohms cabinets to be had than 4 ohms.

It would also be easier if you gave us some idea of the music you play, and how big an audience you need to carry with this cabinet.

Schroeder 12L Mini 500W and under 20 lbs. put 2 together and watch out (I use 2x 8 Ohm cabs) but 1 screams too

MarkBass 102p available in 4 or 8ohms but, like others have said, I recommend you get the 8ohm version.

Look in to revsound. They have a couple options that would fit the bill I believe. Particularly the 28V which I don’t have experience with but is pretty popular with those that do. Super light weight, solid price point, custom options available, 300watts and 4ohm. Only downside is waiting for the build time but revsound keeps things reasonable for sure. I went with his new 112 design which is 8ohm and maybe a bit shy of 300watt power handling but is LOUD and LIGHT and the price was right.

Hartke HD series have a switch at the back for 4 or 8 ohm operation. Run it at 4 ohms, then buy another one and switch to 8.
