HARTKE STACK NOT PUNCHY ENUFF, NEED TIPS FOR A GREAT 2X10

I'm using my Ampeg 500 head with two Hartke 1 x 12 cabs which looks great but just doesn't deliver the punch I need. The only cabs that ever do have enough punch it seems are 4 x 10's cabs which I've used on a few gigs with a backline. They are just too heavy so I'm wondering now about two 2 x 10 cabs so I can manage to lift them. I've already wasted money on a crappy Eden 2 x 10 so I really want a great one. I'd really like some feedback on this. I'm tired of my mediocre sound and am craving some real volume. Thanks!

I had two Hartke 210's and now use two Hartke Hydrive 212's with a Hartke LH500.. They are somewhat lacking in kickass depending on your style of music. I'm playing classic rock and for the present, I can hold my own in the mix.
