They do list the dimensions in the Specs tab. Funny how they list nearly every feature on each products page, but you have to click another tab to get just a few more details.

These little units look promising. I understand that the 2x10 cabinets have a power handling of 700w. If I wanted to purchase two of them and place a 1000W amp on top of them, would the cabinets be able to handle it? 500W @8ohm 1000W @4ohm? I don't know if this is a ridiculous question but the reason I am asking is because I'm not sure if the 4 10 inch speakers combined could handle that kind of power? Thoughts?? I'll sleep better at night if I know. 
Well you know what they say... No Pic, It didn't happen. I did it one better and made a demo video of my just in Rumble 500. Love it. I had a hiss problem with the treble when it was high though.

Thanks for your video. Having your gain dimed like that is going to give you those extreme results. Try pulling the gain all the way down and then use your master to get the volume you want. Remember the gain is just that. Gain. It is not a channel volume control.
Rumbles Rock!

Gracias. I'll give it a go and see if I can tone that out.
LOL. I just rewatched it... I didnt realize the gain was still up. Geez
The Rumble 210 cabinets are rated at 350 watts continuous & 700 program. I for one would not pump a kilowatt into them at all. These were designed for use with Fender Rumble 500 heads and combos. Of course you can do whatever you like.These little units look promising. I understand that the 2x10 cabinets have a power handling of 700w.

Mystery solved... I'm getting redirected to the UK version of the Fender site...

If you want to run 210s with a 1k amp then I don't see a problem as long as you use the amp sensibly and within what can be expected of 4 x 10 speakers. If you want to run a 1k amp on full and fill a 1500 person theatre with huge bass then you will need many more speakers. If you are after volume then whatever the brand of speaker or cabinet, pumping 1k into it will rarely give you more of what you want.These little units look promising.

This. In my mind, a 1K amp isn't about volume, but about being clean. A whole lot of cabs is about volume. Or cabs that are very efficient, as, generally, 410s. 103dB @ 1w/m is good. But everything has it's limits.
For me, I play to the stage. anything beyond that, I leave to the PA. However, I used to work with Dan Toler of Greg Allman band and Allman Bros. He used to talk about the corridor of death... the area in the audience in front of the guitars. They never trusted the soundman so they used the loudest amps they could get. Dan had one, all custom, that nearly blew my ear(s) out one night. sounded great, though.
about the two 12 rig - now that my mind (and hearing) are returning, one interesting thing about the two 12 rig I didn't post -
We had an opening act who used my rig. The player was good and he played a dual pickup Music Man. Initially, the sound was OK, not great, too loud, too much bass and a little woofy. But I realized the sound was coming from the PA. Toward the end of the set, the sound tightened up considerably, sounding more MM-like, but overall what I'd call great - deep, thick and tight. When we were getting set to play, the sound man came up and asked me to turn the amp down. "That first bass player turned up so I had to take him out of the mix." So the great bass sound in the audience that i heard was all Rumble two 112, no PA. Figures.

and another thing - I'm still in shock that it's a "lowly" Fender Rumble amp that greases my pole...
I'll bet the MM player was also shocked. Fender Rumble?! No it can't be....and two 12's no less!
LOL!
Rumble Love, Baby! He usually uses some flavor of 610, I seem to recall Ampeg.But he also said he has an old fender bass amp for practice that he likes a lot. whatev, it was good. Not sure he heard it, though - crazy stage and he had to stand next to the amp, which did not sound so hot.
along those lines of crazy stages - club owners never get it. they have a business model that includes live music, then put in a cheap stage built as if it were an afterthought. very seldom does one see a properly constructed stage designed by someone with good knowledge of audio or stagecraft. edit: or electricity.
There's another we play - corner stage (always the worst, I call them "coroner stage"), large enough, but viewing from the front the stage is "framed" - there's a faux picture frame built around the front of the stage. cool idea - from an interior designer's perspective. but it causes the sound to bounce back onto the stage a cause all kinds of problems.
Another we play is really big, but has a hipped roof causing a lot of boom, and only a single quad outlet. And no lighting.
Another we play has enough outlets, but only one works.
The one I was talking about in the 212 review is in a venue with a really high ceiling - maybe 20 feet. but the stage has a ceiling over it that's maybe 7 feet high. The support for said ceiling is precisely where a bass player would stand, on the hi-hat side of the drummer. And the stage is a huge, booming sound trap. And the venue is built on a live music model, with a house PA that's actually pretty crappy. Great people, great food, but damn...
Please, if you are putting a stage in your venue, HIRE A SOUND INSTALLATION DESIGN COMPANY!!!

I recently acquired the rumble 500 combo, have gigged professionally as a bass player a few times with it and am impressed, does a fine job... As a side note, I have also used this amp for guitar and banjo and it does these quite well too, way lighter than my old tube amp to boo
