My Neo 410 blew up :( Cab Recommendations?

Alright, thanks!

Correction, more speaker displacement will.

Semantics, sorry.

Thanks for the info everyone! Right now, I'm thinking either an Eden 4x10 (XLT are supposed to be nice) or a gk Neo 2x12, based on what some people here and what some people I talked to IRL said. I'm going to go to guitar center and see what I can try out today. Wish me luck!

IMO, GK's best cab is the GK212Neo II.

From one GK user to another, turn the contour to zero and rip the knob off. You are cheating yourself out of some really nice sounds by running the boost completely off. I usually keep it at about 10

My recommendation would be to stick with the NEO, I haven't found a better 410 cab to match to a GK head

Well...try the Bergie, I love GK heads, but nothing beats an MB800 into a HS410...Nothing!

IMO, the Neo 410 is a very powerful cab. I have been playing and pushing mine with the 1001RB II for over a year now and its taken whatever I throw at it like a champ. I have actually been pushing it even harder lately since I changed setting on the amp and my board preamp. But it still amazes me sometimes just how much power this rig can generate. I run my contour OFF at at ALL times. I discovered very quickly soon after getting the Neo 410 that the contour just sucked all the dynamics right out of my sound. Never use it. I run my boost and woofer around 3 oclock and run my "master" volume with the input. This allows me the cleanest and most powerful headroom for me. I also leave the DB pad engaged and set the 4/5 button to 4. Just those things make a huge difference in beating or NOT beating your cab to death. The 410 is rated at a very high RMS, but, that 1001rb can put out SO much power! IMO if you tried, you could blow out that cab with little effort. That is if you just cranked everything and played really hard. But again, IMO, that cab can take a lot of juice and reproduce very well. I am currently looking into fEARful cabs, particularly the 15/6/1, but the Neo will always be a cab a love and probably use for certain things.
