What 4x10 cab can produce some rerious lows

Good feedbacks, I am going to check the Ampeg tomorrow check how they sound. I had try different cabs and most of them can't handle the B string. I try the Epifani both 212 & 410 and it sounded great but for a 4 stringer because when I play my 5 tringer the low end suck, I try the Genz Benz Uber 212 & 410 and it didn't have deep low its mainly focus in the low mids. I try my friend Warwick 411 and it sounded great but I am still want to check other 410 cabs.
I am looking for a stand alone 4x10 that has some serius lows I don't want to add another cab. I currently have an Accugroove El Whappo and that cab is a monster in sound the best cab I had heard. But because I need something smaller since I be using the 410 cab for practice and sometimes Church services, I am currently selling it.
-1 On the Eden I have owned a D410XLT and I currently own a D210XLT and they both tend to fart on the lows.

IMO, an Epifani 410 will do the trick. And check out their UL cabs. They sound great and do not induce hernias.
Just want to make another point...if you are only going to use ONE 410 cab, I would get a 4ohm cab - this would allow max power from the amp.

Awhile back I A/B'd a number of 4x10 cabs at a local music store: Eden, Ampeg, Aguilar, GenzBenz, SWR, and one or two others. The Aguilar had the biggest lows.
Eden 410XST - Hire the 1977 movie "Earthquake" and run the audio track into it........
*Warning - Dont use the bass boost on the Eden WTX500 with it though, the last guy who did that lived on a continent called Atlantis and, well you know what happened then.....

Markbass all th way.....disregarding financial limitations, hell I can't afford them but I admit they are great!
If portability is a requirement why not look at a pair of 2x10s. For lows you'll go a long way before you find anything that goes lower than Acme cabinets. My pair of B2s stacked vertically are to die for!

I love my Avatar 4x10s... it's a bit of a leap of faith since you have to order them online without trying them first, but they don't dissapoint. I play a 5 string and the low B articulates big and round but clear. For the price, it's difficult to beat the Avatar 410 Neos- and they are only 65lbs. I had an Avatar 410 for about a year and liked it so much I bought another one, although I totally don't need it. you know how it goes...
For you folks with the Acme B2 cabs. What kind of ampage you using? I understand they have serious lows and are small but at the same time are inefficeint. Do you really have to hit them with a lot of juice?
My own vote for 4x10 would be the Mesa roadready 4x10, the old one with the shelf port.
I sold mine to buy a mesa 1516b and I lost low end!
The Bagend 4x10 (q10d?) is great as well.

I been looking at an older Schroeder 410R that is used at my local GC, and it has goo-gobs of lows. It has two tens on the front baffle and two tens inside at a angle like a folded bass bin. It is the loudest (clear mids) and lowest cabinet(4x10 wise) in the entire store by far. I've heard prettier sounding cabs but this one can cut through a loud enviroment and throw lows out into the room. That's why I was auditioning it. I'm in two bands that for the most part play without P.A. suport. Just the vocals and kick drum. I own alot of cabs and when we play I always hook up 20 foot cord to go out and hear how I sound, and the bottom almost always seems to drop off about 15-20 from the stage. This cab seems to cure this. I'm either going to buy this one or a new neo version. I would try to check one out if you can.
