Alright so I can either get a used Aguilar GS212 or a new Ampeg SVT 410HE. I have a GK 1001rbII head. Mostly play small to medium gigs,and have a 5 string.My play style is mostly metal. What do you think would be best.

Help me choose cabs

I suggest the 410HE. The GS series is known to be mid scooped and you will need a decent midrange presence to be heard in a metal band. The 410he is not going to do too well with low end, but it will give you a darn good tone overall. Is the cab for monitoring purposes only? The 410he would be a great choice for that. Also, you don't need a bunch of low end in a live setting. It does not help you hear your bass any better. Count on the PA subwoofers to rattle the stage and give you that effect.
Yeh that's what I was kinda leaning towards, but I'm still a unsure. Any one else have any input or expierence with the 212
Tough question. The two cabs may both be good for your application. I have owned both cabs you are considering. I really prefer 12's, but sold the Aguilar because I now use 2 112 cabs. The Ampeg 410 kicks, but for a 5 string, the HLF may be a better choice. If I had to choose, I would buy the Aguilar.
