so i'm indecisive........

I agree with this, partly. With those nice PA subs you're going to have all the lows you need, because they're omnidirectional. It's the mids and highs that you're going to need on stage and you may not get enough of those from the existing monitors.

I figured the horn on/off switch on the 410 and 115 would get used frequently for that purpose. I was also gonna utilize my MarkBass "SuperBooster" pedal with all of this beastly bass-stuff to help to further improve the quality and balance. :D
 
don't do that. there's no reason to get a 115 with a 410. the idea that a 115 complements a 410 is entirely based on looks. a 410 will go as low or lower as any 115 and bury it volume-wise. however, some 115's sound great so they're not always the wrong choice. but get two 115's or two 410's, not both.

I'm not saying you're wrong on this but, how can that be? A 15 reproduces frequencies that a 10" driver can't. I've heard some say it's because of the porting, but you don't mic the porting so my question remains.

BTW and to the OP. The Rumble 2x10 you posted is IMO/IME a very good choice. I used one of those and the 1x15 for several years. The line out feature made it possible for me to play large venues and I was still always able to hear myself on stage.

A 15 won't really have a different frequency response unless it's specifically a subwoofer speaker in a ported cab that is big enough.

the sound from the porting will hit the mic regardless of placement. since those lows are omnidirectional and will go everywhere, they will find the mic. getting lows into the mic is easy. what's hard (ok, it's not THAT hard) is find a mic that will reproduce them at a usable level.
