it's just SO damn hard to decide...

i believe the eden one will also be smaller, those 2 ampeg 410's are larger than your average 410 due to the porting on the bottom. those are all good cabs though, if you can get a good deal on the eden, i say go for that.

You might miss the low end you were getting out of the 115, but those cabs all have pretty good low end for a 410.

 

Well first off, your head puts out the same wattage at any impedance, so you don't really have to worry about that.

Out of those three, I'd go with the eden, mostly because most modern ampeg cabs have left something to be desired. It all depends on what kind of tone you're going for though.

 

I think the size and tone of the Eden definitely wins out here. But more importantly - Your myspace page gave me a seizure!!

 

This is true!

 

Ohhhh I didn't read your name on the first post but now I remember your other thread. Definitely dig your music.

I'd say try out both if you can. I think the eden can go deeper than the ampeg stuff. It's cleaner without sacrificing aggressiveness for the cleanliness (if that makes sense).

 

it doesn't really matter, but you can't rewire your 8ohm 410 to 4ohm, you could wire it to 2ohm, but not 4.

 

I don't want to make this seem more complicated than it is already, but I'm gonna suggest something else entirely. Either a 2x12, or something like a Schroeder 21012, or similar. At least consider 12's in the equasion, they're, to me, alot beefier while remaining tight. The perfect cab might be a 210212, but even a 2x12 alone will pack alot of beefy punch.

 

Get the Eden...

 

Having tried all of these cabs, I will suggest going with the Eden cab. Fist things first though, forget the specs on frequency response......pushing all of that low end the 410hlf and PR 410hlf can put out is NOT going to help your band mates hear you better or your audience for that matter. Let a decent PA system pump out the low lows.

The Eden 410XLT does something neither of those Ampeg cabs do - project bass tones a good distance. The mids on these cabs are solid and growly, while the lows are tight. Good upper mid response too. The tweeter on these cabs are not the best though.....if you want a super bright tone, look towards the Eden 410XST, but if you want a punchy/cutting through bass tone, go the 410XLT. The high end content is not terrible, it's just not as bright sounding as other cabs. Still sounds nice though and not a deal breaker in my eyes. Lastly, the Eden 410XLT is hugely efficient - the other two Ampeg cabs are rated at 96db and 97db. While the Eden cab is rated at 106db; a good 9-10db difference. So the Eden cab is going to sound louder then both of those Ampeg cabs with similar wattages. The only low point with the Eden 410XLT is that it will not do too much low end below 40hz and the drop off point starts at 50hz. But honestly, if you put this cab near the floor or in a good acoustic response room, it can deliver plenty of lows. I use a 5 string with no issues......

FYI - I used to own 2 SVT 410hlfs and I tried a PR-410hlf off of a buddies rig for a show. Never again with either!

The Eden 410XST - Amazing high end response (almost too much in my opinion). More low end response, but the midrange is just about transparent - as in you really don't hear the midrange growl or thickness of it like you would with the XLT. That's a major deal breaker for me!

Good luck and PM me if you have other questions.

 

If it has to be one of these I'd go for the Eden.
But if you can hold off:
I've got an Avatar Neo 410 rated 1000 watts I'm very happy with. It'll pretty much take whatever you throw at it. comes in a rainbow of different colors if desired. Only weighs in at 65lbs. and is $461 delivered!

Something to think about if not now...down the road.

 

Eden. All my experience with the 4x10 and 2x10 has been positive.
