Need a lightweight, 4ohm cab

[RickenBoogie]

A 4 ohm 1xanything makes very little sense. Now, if you're talking about a bigger cab, with multiple drivers, that's different. But the difference between an 8 ohm 1x12, or 2x10, vs a 4 ohm 1x12, or 2x10, will be virtually non-existant. "Getting all the watts" from your amp is pointless if the little 4 ohm cab can't handle that power. Much smarter to go with an 8 ohm cab so you have the ability to "double up" later, and that WILL make a difference.

^ One reason I went with a 4 ohm 2x12. It doesn't weigh much more than a SVT210AV . I wanted something that would get the most out of a micro 200-300w head.

I agree completely. I would love a very small one cabinet solution. A single 2x10, 1x12 or 1x15 only seem to work for my background music type gigs.

I think that the OP was referring to The Hartke HyDrive 112. These work as advertised...

'The idea of a switchable cab, 4 - 8 ohms, sounds good'.

If you mean the Tri 112, I recall there was outrage at Accugroove's claim the the cabs could be switched to 8 or 4 ohms. Accugroove later removed the 'switch' from the design. These later Tri-112 and Tri115 cabs I believe are all 8-ohm.

I have a Tri-115, it is not what I would describe as clean and clear, it is more thick and punchy, polite highs, tight lows, very detailed mids. It has a more old school sound to my ear and will tame a very clean modern head. Sounds nice with my Eden head but not so great with my Aguilar TH-500.

The Tri-112 sounds similar IMHO. If you visit Invalid Link Removed they still have some samples up.

Ah, my bad.

If your budget allows, I'd consider an AudioKinesis TC112, TC212, or TC115.

+1. Light, powerful, loud. 4 ohms

Got myself a TC Electronic BH250 and need a lightweight 4 ohm cab to compliment it.
Any suggestions/advice?

ACME's new 1x12 is a great, lightweight cab. I have one that sits under my ACME B2 2x10.

Go with the classic EA Wizzy M-line. Excellent choice, and here's the link.

My BH250 gets fed into a 4 ohm Carvin BRX 10.2. Not super lightweight, but still portable. More than that, this setup is loud and sounds great. My gigs run from bars to small auditoriums and even an occasional small outdoor stage and I can't imagine needing more power or volume. This cab really projects and sounds great.
