Hi. I play in a three piece classic rock group. My bass is an nxt-5 string electric eub with a passive pickup.
I have an Ampeg SVT 4 pro head.
I want to get bass cabinet or cabinets that will go with my head that I can still carry but that will be loud as I will ever need in any room and handle the low b on my bass. I want low end to spare. I would like to stick with Ampeg.
I am a strong girl, and the drummer is a girl and we do our own load ins for now.

One 4x10 8 ohm with 1 x15 500 plus watts?
Two 4x10 8 ohm?
I need to rock the house!
Thanks ya'll.
Please don't go too technical on me.:-)

You are really limiting yourself by sticking with Ampeg exclusively.

It would also help if we had an idea of your budget.

Of the options you listed, I would pick two 8 ohm 4x10 cabs. That would give you four ohm total and a pretty massive rig.

Seriously, you may want to consider other brands and configurations, such as Fearful, Bergantino, Genz Benz, Baer, Thunderchild and Aguilar.

I would suggest you get a fEARful 15/6. With the SVT 4 pro it will be about as loud as a 610, while being smaller and lighter than a 410.

The SVT4 Pro does have enough power to push the 410HLF and the graphic EQ works well to combat the muddiness you'd otherwise get with most other heads. It gets loud and goes real low. Plus, it has wheels and a push handle. Sounds like it would work well for you.

Hi ya'll- I and with the Ampeg 4x10 Hlf. 4 ohm. Now my questions-
1.) is can I mono-bridge it as a standalone with my svt4 pro and proper speakon?
2.) I am planning on getting a second, identical 4 ohm hlf. Can I run both cabs in mono-bridge with the Svt4-pro?
The ohms will drop down to 2, I see the Amp is rated for that in the manual?

I would check the manual about what kind of cable you need.

No you will not be able to mono bridge the svt4 in to two SVT410HLF's.
