0175westwood29 Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 hi guys, im gonna be getting a 410 to replace my orange 115 later next month. thing is i was gonna go straight for the ampeg 410, but there's something spinning me out! they are all 4 ohms at which my amp throws out 1100w which is a bit more than the 600w it meant to take? im also looking in gk, orange and hughes and kettner( this one looks good due to it taking 900w and it 8 ohm) im gonna use my 115 as part ex they've offered me about £300 for it, and then im willing to add bout another £300 on top of that. but when i look at the cabs rms they are all below what my amp puts out i know it wnt do this all the time ( ie put out 750w at 8 ohms ) but i dnt wanna get an under powered cab HELP! im looking for an 8 ohm cab so i can add a second later andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Musicman20 Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 I personally love the Orange 4x10...it seems to punch more than an Ampeg 4x10 I compared it to. Despite the Ampeg being sealed. Hmm....have a good look around. The Ampeg 4x10 at 8ohms are pretty compact thats one thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaiu Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 (edited) I have two Aguilar GS410's. [url="http://www.aguilaramp.com/products_cabinets_gs410.htm"]http://www.aguilaramp.com/products_cabinets_gs410.htm[/url] They sell for £750 at the bass Gallery. [url="http://www.thebassgallery.com/index2.html"]http://www.thebassgallery.com/index2.html[/url] They work perfectly, and I transport them around in their original boxes with holes cut to allow access to the handles. (I have also replaced both tweeters, as I have owned them for quite while, probably about two years.). I no longer use them as I have bought an Ampeg 8x10. I'd be quite happy to let you have them both for £500 (that's £250 each!). I'm based in York. I can send/post pictures if you're interested.

The rest of the tweeter is original. They work perfectly now. Ed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However like almost all 4x10"s it can't handle more than about 300W cleanly in the lows but as you've noticed it's already damned loud by that point!

If you are touring the promoter supplies the "humpers", but if you have to carry the gear yourself different criteria usually apply. Also Eden is almost always the choice of visiting black American bassists. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
