Wider frequency range?

Rumbles make everything sound good! Matched speaker sizes, mixed speaker sizes, different bass types ...
After using both my G&L Fullerton Jazz & Kiloton for the past couple of months, pulled out my Yamaha TRBX504 and my new (to me) Schecter Stiletto Deluxe-8 for rehearsal last night and even my cheap basses sounded terrific through my Stage 800!

There is only one correct answer about speaker sizes, and that’s to use what works for you.
In my "smallish" home studio, even the single 12"er in my R100 is too big. The 5" drivers in my two monitors are good but, my head/earphones are just right.
Sounds like Goldilocks, doesn't it

Watch out, or the Big Bad Guitar Player Triple Marshall Stack will eat you!
Not likely...I can tune him out.
600W into six 4x12 cabs takes a lot of tuning out...
If you read my post, I am dealing with a home studio. Anything I bring into it is a recording and, as such, I can turn down or tune out most individual tracks including a guitarist with a gazillion watts and cabs

hi rumble fans!
i want to know if the rumble 410 v3 cab would be enough for a standalone cab in rock music.
and also can you shut down the tweeter in that cab?
would the 410 rumble be similiarly loud as two 115 v3 rumble cabs?

Simple math: 40 inches of air is more volume of air than 30 inches of air. A 410 should cover any non FOH situation up to a large theater. Or any FOH supported situation at all.
Sorry, but your math is incorrect. The area of a 10" speaker is 78.54" so 4 x 10 = 314.16. The are of a 15" speaker is 176.7 so 2 X 15 = 351.4. So 2x15 has about 11% more surface area than 4x10.
Hello, again, blackie. Still Rumble cab shopping after all the great advice you got here before? 
Of course it can, blackie, it all depends on the amp, the venue and the other musicians' levels in the band, which only you know. Lotsa Rumblers here, myself included, do just fine with only the 210 Rumble 500 or 800 combos alone, or with a single 210 cab added to those combos for a total of 4x10". Try it, you might like it.
Yes, you can turn down the tweeter (Horn Level) by -6dB, or turn it off:
Yes, blackie. Yes, it would. Despite mathematical answers above. The keyword is "similarly". The key factor, though, is for your speaker(s) to match, or exceed, the power ratings of your amp. You do not want to risk an amp putting 400 watts into a 300 watt speaker.

Does the volume of the cone play into this at all? Is that a better indicator of how much air is moved?
My Rumble 100 in its Happy Place!
Not really. Area and excursion are what matter.
