In my experience, plenty of volume here. I think you won't have any lack of stage volume.
I run 210 and 212 RS and volume master never passes 11 o'clock and gain at 3 o'clock... plenty volume left.
No idea about the cables

You do not need any special cable to make the amp run at 4 ohms. You need to connect the amp to one speaker, then connect another cable from the first speaker to the second speaker. Connecting the second speaker cabinet increases the load on the amplifier to 4 ohms and thus it provides more power.
Have a rockin' good time.

I just rec'd my RH450 and my RS210 cab. Wow. I don't know about the wattage debate. But this thing is putting out some serious db. I have an additional RS210 coming for bigger stages. But I think I may be okay with the RH450, and saving the extra cash from the RH750. I will know more at rehearsal, but without tweaking the settings to much. It's definitely has some punch to it.
Gard: did you get your RH450 through Amazon/ProdAudiostar? If so, how was the experience?
Did you find a good deal on the Rs210 too?

I got the RS210 cabs through Amazon. But I did order the RH450 through ProAudiostar.
I order both online and they shipped a couple days later. So I had it in 3 to 4 days. Nothing negative to say about either. I didn't actually talk to anyone, so it's hard for me to comment on customer service. But everything I received was what I ordered.
I also just bought an RH450 from ProAudioStar. Great easy experience. I'd bought something from them on eBay earlier in the year so it was super quick and easy. Price was unspeakably low as well.
So I had my first practice with the RH450 and a single RS210 last night. The drummer and I sounded good. But once the guitar player joined in with his triple rectifier Mesa. I was buried pretty quickly. I'm hoping the other 210 cabinet will help.
That was my experience when I played with a guitarist who had a Marshall and belief that he needed to play at a certain level to "get his sound." In that band, practice was too loud, and we were told to turn down on multiple gigs (something that I don't feel should happen...certainly not more than once). Personally, I was embarrassed by what happened when we played out.
I'm glad to not be in that situation anymore, but when I was, a single RS210 felt strained and outstripped, but two RS210s or one RS212 was fine.
Is your whole band in agreement that things have to be as loud as they are? Really, if your guitarist is interested in (or not caring that he is) "burying" you, with the amp he has, you're going to need show up with an awful lot of gear to keep that from happening.
Thanks for the update Gard. Let us know how it goes with the extra cab.
Almost put the trigger for the RH450 at $399 with Proaudiostar. Gonna wait a little more.

The guitar seemed especially loud that night. But usually it's bearable. I think the guy is loosing his hearing to be honest. He's never loud on stage, probably due to all the stage monitors. But practice it seems loud to very loud at times.

At long last I'm back in the club. Tell me guys, have y'all found a form fitting carrying case for the RH450?
Practices usually turn out to be louder, than the volume used, or needed then the volume at the gig. Depending on the size of the room used for practice, most are usually smaller in size, and the sound doesn't disperse. When you play a gig in a larger area, the disperses better, and you can actually hear how loud you're really playing at.
