bassgurumonster Posted July 7, 2011 Posted July 7, 2011 Im thinking of buying the Orange Terror bass 500, but I dont know which cab to get. Either the Isobaric SP410 or the OBC410? Anyone used either? Quote
Musicman20 Posted July 7, 2011 Posted July 7, 2011 Personally, if you can handle the weight, the OBC410 will be a much 'louder' cabinet. The SP410 is smaller, lighter, but apparently its essentially a very capable 2x10. Lots of volume out of a small box, but two of the speakers are working behind the others (isobaric). The OBC410 is cheaper I believe, and is loud/capable, and looks fantastic. Downside? Weight. Quote
Prime_BASS Posted July 7, 2011 Posted July 7, 2011 Having not tried the isobaric 4x10 I don't know how it sounds but I know the 2x10. It sounds like a 1x10 but with a little bit more in the low/mid-low region. Which personally you don't need with the OTB as it's very bass heavy, but still reasonably clear. I expect the 4x10 to be the same. If you do go for that make sure you mount it vertically no matter how stupid you think it looks it'll sound far more clearer and appear to be louder over having it horizontal on the floor. The orange 4x10 is a mighty cab though, with wieght to match, but if wieght isn't an issue for you go for the OBC 4x10 Quote
Bankai Posted July 7, 2011 Posted July 7, 2011 Having heard the SP410, it does sound good and I'd be happy to use it, but undoubtedly the OBC410 will produce a better sound. The question is just would be happy with the extra weight and size? Quote
lojo Posted July 8, 2011 Posted July 8, 2011 The obc 410 is the best cab I've ever played through by far, but its also to heavy for dragging around pubs and parties for me Quote
xgsjx Posted July 8, 2011 Posted July 8, 2011 Does it have to be an Orange cab? I'd go & try a few cabs out & see what YOU like the sound of (and the weight of). My choice would be 2 2x10s or 2x12s as opposed to a 4x10. Quote
algmusic Posted July 8, 2011 Posted July 8, 2011 depends.. if you can handle the weight.. OBC all the way But to be honest, I think if you want something with a big sound and lighter and smaller.. the Barefaced super twelve would be much better than the SP410.. hands down I have the sp210, but if I was going big, I'd go Barefaced 2x12.. Alot of people love it with TB Quote
bassgurumonster Posted July 8, 2011 Author Posted July 8, 2011 (edited) Im a bit old school when it comes to cabs but the obc is rated at 600wts and the spc410 is rated at 1200 wts!! confused.com Edited July 8, 2011 by bassgurumonster Quote
xgsjx Posted July 8, 2011 Posted July 8, 2011 Watts don't really come into the equasion as much as you're lead to believe. it's all about how efficient a cab is & how much air it can move. A 400 watt cab can be louder than a 1200w cab. Quote

Musicman20 Posted July 8, 2011 Posted July 8, 2011 Ive used the AD200b with the OBC410 plenty of times and it is VERY VERY loud. Masses of rock n roll tone. It is quite a low end friendly cabinet as well, little but more 'ommph' down low compared to the SVT 410HE (im guessing due to the fact the Ampeg is sealed and the way they are both tuned). Quote
bassgurumonster Posted July 9, 2011 Author Posted July 9, 2011 Thanks for the help guys, im leaning toward the OBC410 Quote
