Ok here goes, long time reader, first post.
I have a Hartke LH500, and im seriously thinking about getting the thunder child, im concerned about the LH500 matching up to the Thunderchild. Thoughts on this?
From the Thunderchild:
Type: Two-way vented bass guitar cabinet
Impedance: 4 ohms, fairly smooth aside from the bass impedance peaks
Efficiency: 95 dB/1 watt, based on Thiele/Small parameters
Thermal Power Handling: 450 watts RMS, 900 watts music program
Displacement (cone area x one-way linear excursion): 496 cubic centimeters (more than most 15's)
Bandwidth: 56 Hz to 18 kHz plus or minus 3 dB (with normal port tuning), -6 dB at 48 Hz, no upper bass bump. Top end extension switchable to a gentle rolloff at 3.5 kHz, and tweeter can also be turned completely off.
Crossover: About 2 kHz, no significant response dip in crossover region
Radiation pattern: 90 degree constant directivity in the horizontal plane from the crossover region on up
Port tuning options: 50 Hz normal (both ports open, -3 dB at 56 Hz, fairly steep rolloff); and Qtc = .53 box with both ports sealed (-3 dB at 100 Hz, gentle rolloff)
Dimensions: 22" tall by 14" wide by 14" deep; net internal volume 1.7 cubic feet
Weight: 34 pounds
From Hartke:
500 watts of power @ 4 ohms
Classic 12AX7 High Voltage Class-A tube preamp circuit
Bass and Treble Shelving, plus mid-peak EQ controls
Selectable brite switch for added high frequency response
Selectable limiter switch with LED indicator
Front panel XLR balanced direct output
Rear panel 1/4-inch effects loop
1/4-inch output connectors
Two-rackspace metal chassis with steel faceplate and handles
