I can't comment on the cabs you have listed, but like Muttleybass had mentioned - look at a GK Neo 410

Why not get the TC RC410, instead of the BC410? If you can still find them downpriced, they are fantastic bang for the buck. I got one for under 500 euro new, and it is absolutely great.
Look for used Goliath. I love mine. Got a GIII for $225.00 and a GII for 100.00 local. Great cabs!
i saw an ad for a TC Electronic 4x10 that was around 500 i think. if thats in your price range id suggest taking a look into it.
Its got plenty of lows for me. I havent had an issue with it farting out. Im running the amp set flat and using either a BDDI or VT Deluxe as my EQ. I also have a BBE Maximizer with the lows and highs set at 12 o'clock. All my basses are passive P or P/Js
I would love to but i do not see them available at AMS, with xmas and 5 kids, I have no choice but to use their payment plan!...I have to have a cab by the 30th, it is just so hard to decide!
Not trying to be a wise guy, but....get two 2 X 10's for added versatility if within your budget. Other than that, I've always liked the higher-end Hartke enclosures.

I have a TC Electronic BC410 and its a great cab. Its 4 ohms and I use it with my Mark bass Little Mark II.
Thats one of the cabs I was looking at! Only thing about it that bugs me is the 4 ohm thing, I would not be bale to add another cab in the future! I do plan on getting the TC500 head down the road sometime! Does this cab have good punch? I love the sound of a plucked/muted string and want it to be felt! Thanks for all the help people!!!!
I just got a GK SBX 410. I got it used and I love it. It's also great to see that it was made in America! I would recommend anything from GK.
If you get the TC500 head I think you can add another TC cab. For $500.00 new you can't beat it. Sounds great and its light. I have to say i like my Aguilar DB410 setup better. It had more mid punch but the cabs are more then twice the price and weight.
BTW I sent you a message.
The OP stated they will have to do payments, so can not do used, but people keep posting about used gear. Not wanting to sound rude, just wanting to help the OP as much as possible. The used cabs mentioned are great cabs.
Yes that is true...I am no idiot and wish I had a few hundred laying around to get a nice used cab, I would be all over it...but with xmas and layaways I can not do it, I have to make payments! But I do appreciate all the help!

Go without a cab for now, and save up some cash for a quality cab. The cab is the essential part of your rig. A great amp will sound bad through a cheap cab, but a nice cab can work with a not so high end amp.
IMO of course.
I have noticed that there is a late night tv show bassist, that has his choice of any speaker, or amp, because money is not an issue, and he can be as particular as he wants because he is the great Will Lee, with Dave Letterman show. He choses Hartke !
I have an old preavey 1x15 cab with a black widow in it I am using right now to practice but I need a cab for a new years gig that will pretty much be paying me enough to pay the cab off!!
Do you know any bass players you could borrow a cab from for that one gig? I know we have a good rental place around here people could get a cab for a single gig also. Just a thought, butight help you to afford a better cab afterward if borrowing or renting is an option.
