Hartke Introduces 210 HyDrive Cab

This Hydrive 210 cab should pair nicely with my HD 115 cab, and will be a nice addition to my HD 410 cab.
the 1x15 kinda, the 4x10 not so much; if this 2x10 was a 4Ω box, and was thus switchable to 16Ω, then it would be a perfect mate for the 8Ω 4x10! you could set it for 16, plop it on top of the 4x10, and have a kick-butt hydrive 6x10 with all 6 speakers getting equal power.

i wish they had done the dual-voice coil thing like with the 1x12 cabs, to switch this 2x10 from 8 to 16; that would have made it all kinds of flexible.

I have an Eden 410 and it doesn't fit in my car and is heavy as. I'm after something smaller and lightweight for gigs so I can use my much-loved Eden head with a smaller speaker cab. Thinking maybe the Hartke or the Mark Bass 210

Have you got it yet? Any word on when they will be released? VERY keen to get one.

They're saying the first week in June now. I've paid for it and Hartke is suppose to be shipping it to my home. I like the Hartke products and like Bonesurfer said, for hauling it'll be the perfect mix of watts and weight. Amp in one hand, cab in the other, strap the gig bag, there you go. Plus, connecting speakon to bridge of the LH 1000 will give me the full 500 watts.

Still waiting and anticipating!

Will the power not be equalized in bridge mode? It's my understanding according to the Hartke manual that bridging amplifier to cab pushes the full power. Plus, I'm using the LH 1000. The 410 cab is rated at handling 1000 watts. I don't think I'll ever need more power than what 610's can deliver. That should be PLENTY of punch for me.
 
the thing to do ultimately might be to sell the 4x10 in favor of a second 2x10. a pair of those stacked vertically should kick butt.
