Freddiel75 Posted December 24, 2010 Share Posted December 24, 2010 Hi, I have decided to purchase the Hartke LH1000 bass head and then get 2 of the Hydrive cabs to match. Has anybody had much experience with this set up and which sounds best? I have heard the 4x10s dont have that much bottom end so was gonna purchase the 15inch cab first and then either pair it up with another 15inch or get one of the 410s. Anyone have any experience of using 2 of the hydrive 15inch cabs or would it be best to go with a 15 and a 410? Many thanks in advance Freddie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul_5 Posted December 24, 2010 Share Posted December 24, 2010 I've got the LH1000 and a Hydrive 410 and have never had any noticeable "loss of low end" from my 5 string. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparky Mark Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 (edited) I've owned and gigged both HX115 and HX410 cabs and all of the following is IME/IMO. The 410 is louder and goes deeper and has a more controlled bass response (i.e., less boom) and more present mids. Two 410's with the LH1k will be monstrously loud! However, neither sounded as good with my LH1K as they did with my Hartke 3500 or LM3 heads. If you haven't already pulled the trigger I recommend you try a 3500 with the HX410, it also has a tube pre and a much more flexible EQ section which can achieve many more varied tones than the LH1K, and although only 350w will drive a pair of 410's perfectly well and very loud.
