woodyratm Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 Hello, I'm thinking of getting rid of my 6x10 cab. As nice as it is, i feel a 4x10 with a 1x15 cab would be better. Anyone got anything they'd trade for this? Built like a tank and pretty much weighs the same so collection preferred but i will post if required. Well courier. Im not sure on a price yet but make me an offer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy67 Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 You'll probably find the 410 and 115 are heavier and not as maneuverable as you think. 610 - 110lbs 410he - 91lbs 115e - 71lbs and, to be honest, they are nowhere near as good as the 610! It's a great cab the classic 610 well worth holding onto. good luck andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Musicman20 Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 I'd stick with the 610.....im not massively keen on 15s by Ampeg. But...obviously your choice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodyratm Posted November 19, 2009 Author Share Posted November 19, 2009 Cheers for the replies folks! Has anyone had any experience with the SVT 410 hlf? [url="http://www.ampeg.com/products/classic/svt410hlf/index.html"]http://www.ampeg.com/products/classic/svt410hlf/index.html[/url] Coupled with the SVT 15e [url="http://www.ampeg.com/products/classic/svt15e/index.html"]http://www.ampeg.com/products/classic/svt15e/index.html[/url] I'd be ideally sticking with the classic series if i stick with ampeg. I'd also be interested in peoples opinions for other cabs to go for maybe, i'd prefer them to be the same league as the classic series if that makes sense... Note if there would be a larger speaker on the bottom (bigger than 1x15 i could be interested too) Regarding the size of the 410/115 - it would just be easier to load in and out! The 610 is so awkward to shift around hah. Thanks again for the responses (sp?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heartbreaker Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 I had a Markbass 6x10hlf cab (45kg), great cab but like you found the action of moving one big cab although fairly light a pain in the arse compatred to 2 smaller light cabs. Just as well you dont have an Ampeg 8x10 (64kg) then you'd realy suffer in moving it. I now run Markbass 4x10hlf's(29kg) & 1x15 hlf 's(29kg) cabs, much more tonal capacity too than the 6x10hlf, light & easier to move around. Markbass realy do make some superb cabs though, apart from their light weigh, the power handling capacity & tone are just leaps ahead of most other speaker cab makers these days. I love Ampeg amps, I use an SVT4pro but Ampeg cabs I find just dont give the tonal range like so many other cabs dont ither. Its always very important when looking for new cabs to take your amp along to good music shops & try various cabs along side one another so you can realy compare them to make an educated decision on what suits your ears (& pocket). Compromise always shows up in time. Good luck with the sale, lovelly cab. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The downside with living up here, is that the music shops are rubbish generally. Ashdown cabs mainly... bah. cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ritch Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 Is the 610 4 ohms? I've got a 4x10HE + 1x15 I'd be tempted to trade. I live miles away from you, in Gloucestershire, so could be a problem. Btw - someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but you might have problems combining the 4x10 'HLF' and 1x15HE as one's 4 ohms and one's 8ohms. I don't know what happens when you put those two together.

Rich[/quote] Ooh very well noticed. Bloody HLF's and HE's! The 410HE and 15e are both 8 Ohm - so that would make the 4 ohm rating right? Cheers!

Heartbreaker Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 [attachment=36732:DSCF0182.JPG]With the versatility of the Ampeg SVT4 pro head being mosfet bi amped power amp section & the 8 ohm Markbass cabs you can run 2 x 8ohm cabs through one channel giving 4ohms or one cab per channel giving 8 ohms per channel. You can also mix the ohmage of the channels up if you have 3 cabs by say putting a 4x10 8 ohm cab through one channel & a 2x10 & 1x15 8ohm cabs through the other channel giving a 4 ohm channel. This works fine as I use this configeration a lot as well sometimes another 4x10 for bigger venues. After all you have a big output head that is ideal for moving some big air.[attachment=36730:DSCF0211.JPG] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Add in a SWR Marcus Millar Pre Amp, and a good 750 watt a side power amp and you have the perfect rig for every gig! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmykebab Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 The 410HLF has an ultra low, lower than ampegs 15" cab, so maybe all you need is a 410HLF. I ve got a pretty much brand new one which I would consider trading maybe? Nice one Jamie [email protected] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
