so, im a dumb noob.

[PunkRockDunn]

i have a Hartke 5500 head that runs 500 watts at 4 ohms.

anyone want to give me a really nice 4x10 cab suggestion to run through it? i only want 1 410 too...nothin more

 

[SVTDOUBLEBUCK]

aggie? berg? great cabinets! depends on if you want power, lightweight, both?

 

[Thundar]

Carvin BRX, Avatar 410 neo, and Peavey Tour... all 3 good for the price/performance, and all light-ish...and the Avatar and Carvin are available in 4 ohm.

Ampeg 410 Hlf will do the job. Its good and heavy.

Used to have one. It was great. I still miss it every now and then when I just need some old fashioned powerful thumping sound.

 

[Pilgrim]

You could bring your head to a Guitar Center and try out cabs....?

 

[Elmo Oxygen]

Whichever cab you do get, keep this in mind: the HA5500 pushes 320watts @ 8ohms (not 250). But with all the higher rated cabs out there now, you could just get a single 4ohm 4x10 rated at 500w or higher.

I've heard it's a bit scooped.

 

[RickenBoogie]

If you're SURE that you'll only ever have the one cab, find a good 4 ohm cab, like the SVT410hlf. But if there's even a small chance you'd add a 2nd cab later, go with an 8 ohm cab, (more to choose from). Besides, 320 watts through 4 10's is plenty sufficient for most any situation.

 

[SoundBehemoth]

If you haven't tried th HyDrive from Hartke......

 

[bassmanrocke]

Try GK.

 

[PSPookie]

Providing us with your budget would help a ton. There are lots of 4x10s out there and they range in price from a few hundre bucks to over a thousand.

 

[gsaer]

I would definately try to locate a Hydrive 4x10, I have one and it is great. Very versatile and appears to have great build quality.

 

[honestjohnny]

I'll throw out the suggestion of 2 8 ohm 210's. Avatar or Carvin are good buys, you might also look at what Billfitzmaurice has to offer. Then you have the 4x10 speaker surface area and a 4 ohm load if and when you want it, but you also have the option of an 8 ohm 2x10 for living room jams, etc. You also have the option of vertical or horizontal stacking for the various benefits they provide. Good luck!

 

[Larry Hartke]

PunkRockDunn, There's no harm in asking questions that's how we all learn. Your 5500 amplifier puts out 350 watts into 8 ohms. Our classic 410XL cabinet would be a great choice with your 5500. You could always in the future add another 410XL or 115XL and your 5500 would be fine with that.

I know you've been doing that for a few years now Larry but I still think it's so cool. What was the tagline on the ads? 'Ring it, see who picks up' or something? More companies should follow the Hartke example.
