Well, I play a hartke lh1000 thru a hydrive 410. Now i am on to get a second maching cab. Do I really need it? No. Do I want it? Yes! I never had an experience to play a 8x10 configuration. What do you think?

GAS attack!

Any time you double your speakers, it sounds way more awesome than not. The lows get a nice warm boost, and everything just plain sounds prettier to my ears. Turn the bottom tweet off for best results. HIGHLY recommended!
.....seemslike a lot of haulin' around....cant you borrow one for the one time experience?
I had an acoustic 408 cabinet with 4-15's in it....same size as an Ampeg svt 6-10...it got to be like carring a casket around after awhile...

Thanks jimmy. This is what I wanted to hear. I was also wondering how to set the tweeters as I am running the single cab -6 dB.

So I saved up some money from gigs and ordered a second cab, tomorow it should be delivered to my door, I cant wait for it 
hell yeah...
hell yeah...
Update... This is it! It sounds amazing, I used the rig in the studio and the results are amazing. Now I'm done with the GAS

You aint done with gas. It's called remission.
It is interesting how this "impendance" thing works. Now running at 4ohms I really see the power of the lh1000. At 8ohms I needed to cranck the volume at 5/6 and now I am fine at 2/3. And the tone is rounder and bigger in the low end. Thank you guys for the advice to buy a second cab
It is not so much the increase in amp head power as the increase in cone area that is making you so much "louder" 
Yeah I think it goes hand in hand with the speaker cone area too... And it is just so cool to have a big rig behind me
Having the 2 cabs will always give you that option of taking one with you or both, depending on the gig/practice situation
Exactly! I'we been in the studio and our sound engeneer wanted to record the bass tracks DI as usual. I said hey, I wanna try my fullstack... So we ended up recording line, one mic in front of the speaker and a large condenser about 3 meters from the rig... The results: he said it is the best sound I ever had
