opinions...best 410?

looking again.

tried a bunch, have I missed any?
Mesa Boogie 4x12 Power House cab, 4 - 300watt 12" speakers with tweeter, that's 300watt continuous not peak. Awesome 1,200watt 4ohm cab that stands 45" tall, put 5" caster wheels on it and it will be 50" tall cab, good height, like 2 - 2x10's or 2 - 2x12's vertically stacked height, all in one cab 4x12 one tweeter.

I'm sure someone on here has already suggested fearful/fearless- they are truly game changers...

A second best option if you wish to stay with 10s is the vertical 210 stack.

Gets your speakers up in your ears- looks pretty cool- beams out a whole mess of tasty bass- and gives you a modular option.

Someone in Syracuse is selling two Eden Nemesis 210s *both 4 ohm for a 2 ohm pair* for only $175!!!!

If I weren't motivated by small spaces and my beautiful agent of accountability *wife* I'd be writing a new cab review.

Good luck with your search! I hope you find something that makes you, your band/audience, back, and wallet happy!

I've tried just about every 410 I've ever heard of. Currently playing a ampeg 410he and swapped the speakers for american made 200w eminence 10s. Now I have an 800w cab and haven't even considered anything else since. It's just a great cab. rediculous output. Nice tight deep lows,
 
Berg is winning. Anyone try a Aggie DB410?
I've had the Aggie DB410s in both 8 and 4 ohm cabinets. Awesome cabinets. I currently have one with a DB750 head. They'll cut thru any mix. It does weigh 98 lbs but comes with the wheels. Just make sure you only take gigs on the first floor!
Also an interesting alternative...the Epifani UL 310. About 40 lbs lighter, still puts out decent volume.
Edit.. On the Epi 310, odd ohms, it's 5.3.
 
Having not played all of them, I really have no idea. I CAN say that the two best ones I've ever owned were a Bag End Q10X-D and the Genz-Benz Uber 410. Neither are lightweights, however. The Bag End was 96 pounds, but sounded awesome. The G-B Uber is around 70 pounds if I recall correctly. But it's another one through which every head I use sounds great.
