Sealed cab options

[la bam]

Hi all,

 

I'm loving my ampeg svt preamp into a class d head.

 

However, I've tried it through my barefaced super 12, and through my ashdown rm x2 2x10 cabs, and the rm sounds much much nicer, perhaps because its sealed?

 

So what decent lightweight, but heavy duty sealed cabs are currently on the market?

Sorry, posted in wrong section, please move if possible. Thanks.

Are the RM cabs rated to 300w each 8ohms ?

Ashdown ABM PRO NEO range fits the bill nicely.

Cheers Lozz, are these sealed or ported? Thanks.

Hartke Hydrive 210 cabs are sealed.  Very punchy and can handle a decent amount of power.

The Hydrive 410 is sealed too.

Cheers, I'd always assumed they were ported, but good to hear they're ported, that's a good option.

Cheers. I've had the hydrive 410, and thought it was great. It's just too unique a sound for the ampeg though.

The Ampeg PF115LF isnt ported but it’s a weighty cab but nice sounding 

 

I had it before getting the Ashdown

Was it definitely the LF? The PF-115LF is ported.

 

"The Ampeg PF-115LF bass enclosure delivers the performance, looks and affordability of the popular Portaflex series in a powerful, shelf-ported design that hits hard and low. Handling 400 watts and featuring a single 15″ Eminence® driver, the PF-115LF sounds great and looks even better."

Sorry my mistake you’re correct it was ported .. maybe that’s why it sounded woolly lol 😂
