These are the only two I found that I can afford and have at least 600W/8ohm power, which is needed to carry the load of my Warwick Tubepath 1000W/4ohm

Keep saving, have the money on hand to jump on something better when it becomes available. Also, dont stress too much on the power ratings, use your ears and what is between them and you will be fine.

I actually wanted Orange OBC212 but they are pricey and there are none on the used market anyways

I'd pass on that cab, unless you want a cab that is heavy, only has the output of a 112, and costs too much.

I decided to buy the Wick for now, because I have nothing else! But, I will save up money for a brand new non-used cab for later. Hopefully this thing I am buying will last at least a year, besides I need to buy some pedals too. In a year, I will get Igor Bley, a great local custom amp builder, to build me a 4x12 bass cab and I will get him to wrap it in colorful tolex because why not?

Nobody will sell one anyways. Despite the hate they get here, their owners do not like to part with them, and when they do, they get bought in moments. I guess they are the Marmite of bass cabs, you either love 'em or hate 'em.

The 411's have a horn attenuator dial on the back, they're dark sounding cabs but the front ports will fluff your pants and bruise your eardrums.
It'll be muddy on the ground, so get casters or an HPF if you aren't playing metal!
Defo getting casters for it, because it is heavy enough to do warmups for benchpress with it.

(I might actually try benchpressing it because I am that insane)
