Warwick W410 Pro cab?

I am looking for a new cab or 2 and came across a guy about an hour away with a Warwick W410 Pro. It is 8 ohm, 300 watts. I can get it for $100 and it's in great condition according to him on the phone. I don't want to drive an hour each way to find out it sucks. I'm playing in a band right now playing heavy riff driven rock tuned down so I need a good punchy, tight but deep low end. The 15s I've been using are too muddy. I was suprised the price is so low but he said last time he advertised this cab and an amp he just sold, he got no calls, so he waited a couple months and re-advertised at a lower price. Anybody know anything about these?
 
Pretty sure its the model I used to have.

Mine sounded really good (I remember it almost sounding like an Ampeg) and really lightweght compared to most 4x10s. The only weird thing I remember was that it only had speakon and XLR inputs, ie no 1/4". You can get those locking 1/4" jacks that fit in place of one of the XLR's if its a big deal.

I almost got a second one but decided just to sell it and get an 8x10 in the end.

For the money, if its in good condition I would go for it!

You are sure it's a 410, right? $100 is awfully cheap for a 410, even a beat up one, and 300 watts power handling is probably conservative for any 410. My opinion? If its loud enough, and isn't inconvenient, get it. $100 for a 410 is a steal, considering all four speakers work. Also if you decide to buy the Warwick 410, try pairing it with a 115 for down-tuned rock.

Same here. EXACTLY the same here! *spooky* However, mine had 1/4" and speakon inputs, no XLR's. Sounded great, but I got an 8x10 in the end. Sometimes you just have to give in. :)

Warwick makes great amplifiers and cabinets. The only reason they aren't more popular is because their U.S. distributer doesn't keep a lot of them in stock and and doesn't seem to push the sale of them all that much. The ones I've played through at NAMM shows sounded AWESOME. For $100 you can't go wrong. Even if the cabinet goes to hell on you in the future, you will still have a really well built 4x10 enclosure. You can load it with Eminance Delta 10'' speakers for about $200.00 and have a bad ass 2000 watt beast.
