thunderfunk.. with 4x10??

i would reccomend going with a 4 ohm 410 with the t-funk. reports from guys who know better than me say that the t-funk is a bit louder than the eden or swr 400 watt amps. even an 8 ohm 410 would be loud enough for a lot but i'd probably go with a 4 ohm model just to use all the watts. And yeah, it's gotta sound good. The t-funk sounds similar (but not the same so no rock throwing :hiding: )
as swr/edn amps, and those are great with a 410.

i've read a lot of your message.. and every one of you seems to prefer cabs of 12" with the thunderfunk..
is someone try it with a 4x10?
i'm looking for an Aguilar GS410?
is the thunderfunk gonna have enough power? what are you thinking about that??
The most popular cab with the Thunderfunk is the AccuGroove Tri 210L. Don't think of this as half a 4x10. It's a full-range loud cab. The El Whappo is the only cab anyone would ever need, but starting with a Tri 210L and then adding a Whappo Jr. would be a better choice. Remember, the AccuGroove's have the AccuSwitch that changes the impedance form 4 to 8 ohms so you can always match impedances for full power.

Scotty Simpson, bass and bandleader for Travis Tritt uses a 400-watt Thunderfunk with an Ampeg 8x10 and says it's loud enough for arenas.
 
I use my TFB-420 with an 8 ohm SWR Goliath III 410 and it sounds great. Plenty loud enough for most gigs I play. If you always play with the 410 only I'd agree that you'd be better to get a 4 ohm cabinet. In my situation when I require the extra volume I always use either my Berg 8 ohm HT210 or SWR Goliath Jr. III 210 with the Goliath 410 which brings the impedance down to 4 ohms. IMO 6 10's sound even better than the 410 cabinet alone.
