They're different but both great.

The 320 has more features and control in the higher frequencies but the 370 just sounds like classic bass magic. I haven't been able even been able to put any pedals in front of it since I picked it up.

I use them so differently that I can't fairly compare them.

I bought a 370 off of eBay long long time ago. Guy said it worked great. Got it and it did not work at all. Sent it to a shop to have it repaired at the recommendation of a music store in Kalamazoo. Guy went out of business after I sent it to him and I never got it back, he moved!!!! Got screwed on that deal! Was the closest I ever got to owning a 370. I will have one one day though!!

With the 320, you can run one channel clean and effect through the second channel. If you have the footswitch, you can switch between the 2 channels or switch between using one channel or both blended together.

It's a fun amp. Great tone and more power than you'll need. Handles 2 Ohms no problem.

So if you figure the 300 is not really worth that much, then that is absolute top dollar for the 406, even if it's cosmetically perfect, and for that price I would definitely want the proper white-cap speakers in it, or if something else, it would need to be something hot, like old JBLs or something (which, to be fair, those might be). But I would say that even if the cab is otherwise perfect, and it's the wide version (which it appears to be), you should be able to get that rig for $500 tops.

406s are a bit uncommon, but they're not really that hard to find if you put your mind to it. I've had three of them over the last five years or so.

Thanks, that's exactly what I needed to know!

I would like a 320, but how many do you really need? I already have a 360 stack and a 370/408. Adding a 320 would be piling on.

Here's my rig. Though I recently purchased a Peavey Tour 700 head and I'm planning on getting another Acoustic 410 since they seem to be massively discounted right now...

where do all of you guys get the 306s and other such Acoustic USA stuff? i haven't seen them anywhere! that's not the same brand as gc's Acoustic, is it?

If you're referring to 406 cabs, that's not Acoustic USA. Acoustic USA makes new 360/361's. Vintage Acoustic gear was made by Acoustic Control Corp (no longer in business) starting in the 1960's.

You can still find their vintage gear on Craigslist and Ebay.
You can also get more info by visiting the "Unofficial" ACC site:

That's the same boat I'm in. I have a 320/408 and a complete 371 rig. I really want a 361 at some point but I have no reason to be aquiring any more gear.

I've been gigging the 320 with my 402 since it's easy to get around. The 408 may get the call this weekend though, since my band is booked to play a big outdoor event.
