Cabs for a TH500, weight, vs portability, vs sound

[Omura]

I'm curious about this band. What's the band lineup, what style, what sort of venues?
These things should go far in determiming your amplification needs.

Standard 2 guitars, bass, drums singer. Metalcore/hardcore band
It's just starting so small venues for now, but rehersals would mean I wouldneed an amp/cab that can hold its own against a loud 5 piece.

The TH500 would do it. But honestly, in your situation I would get the TH500 and 2 DB112's if you like the tone that much (which I did). The DB 112 worked in a 200 person room, buy itself, but for a quieter genre of music. 2 of them would have been rocking it.

Take one to practice, and keep one at home for gigs, and it will match the 410 volume wise. I did that for a while but using Bergantino CN 112's as they are lighter. I would have gotten the Aguilar Super Lights if they were in stock.

What are the guitarists playing? Half-stacks, I assume?

I thought and still think 2 SL112s would sound great and be good for practice and shows. Something to look into in future, I got the ampeg 610 for less than a single sl112 would cost me new.. I'll keep an eye out for used ones..

Yeah half stacks and 6505s.

Yeah half stacks and 6505s.

Yeah, that 610 looks like the deal.
I always recommend modular rigs when possible, though.
2 1x15's, or 2 4x10's, or 2 2x12's.
Easier and more convenient for other gigs (who wants to be the fool trying to use a 610 at a coffee shop singer-songwriter gig?) but to compete with a pair of halfstacks, you need to go big.
The otherthing that will help you immensely is having a quick chat with the guitards about the overall band sound, and everyone playing an equal roll in filling out the sound (in other words, they shouldn't crank their bass knobs, and you won't crank your treble)
