Fender rumble 500 and stage 800 cabs

Quick question. Are the cabs the same for the fender stage 800 and rumble 500? ie will a rumble 2x10 pair exact with a stage 800? And are they the same speakers inside?

The Rumble 500 combo has two 16-ohms ceramic 10" speakers, internally connected in parallel to create an 8 ohms load. Fender rates it for 350 watts internal only, 500 watts with 8 ohms extension.

The Rumble 800 combo has two 16-ohms ceramic 10" speakers, internally connected in parallel to create an 8 ohms load. Fender rates it for 400 watts internal only, 800 watts with 8 ohms extension.

The Rumble 210 cabinet has two 16-ohms ceramic 10" speakers, internally connected in parallel to create an 8 ohms load. Fender rates it for 350 watts continuous.

Although Fender isn't explicit, I'd say there's a very good chance that they are indeed the same speakers in all. It looks like the cabinet was designed to be paired with the combos and should provide a large degree of "sameness".  @agedhorsemight have some relevant insight.

 

But you could use any 4- or 8-ohms cabinet with the combos, from the vendor of your choice.

From memory, those are all the same speakers. How they are rated depends somewhat on their application and the products they are used in.
