tonyquipment Posted March 21, 2013 Posted March 21, 2013 Anyone used one of these before? I've had a read online about this little cab and it looks promising But have you guys ever used or even owned one? I'm looking at purchasing second hand and need some second/ third opinions and advice from the pros to ensure I get the best deal and don't have my pants pulled down! Quote
icastle Posted March 22, 2013 Posted March 22, 2013 I keep one of these over at the rehearsal space. It was originally part of my gigging rig and must be well over 10 years old by now. It's a well built, no frills cab and has never let me down. The only thing I could pick fault with is that it's jack connection only, Speakons would have been nicer. Quote
tonyquipment Posted March 22, 2013 Author Posted March 22, 2013 okay okay.. i like no frills. jack connection is not bad right? im starting out and would like to upgrade from my bedroom amp to something more bass-worthy (if there is such a thing) im not looking at an 1000£+ rig but would like the most boom out of my buck if you like... i like the idea of the 4x10 + head unit, sounds like its strong enough to push a cow over you know? what can people suggest? for my budget im looking at around the £200 mark...(possible?) thanks!

icastle Posted March 22, 2013 Posted March 22, 2013 Nothing wrong with a jack connection - it was the industry standard for donkeys years, speakon is just a slightly better up to date version (doesn't affect the sound though). I used that 4x10 and a 300W amp for about 10 years, plenty loud enough for gigs. Quote
bengovier182 Posted April 17, 2013 Posted April 17, 2013 Hey man, don't know if you're still after one of these at the moment for £200. Message me if you're still looking. Ben. Quote
0175westwood29 Posted April 17, 2013 Posted April 17, 2013 these are good cabs well built as is expected from hartke and they sound very nice. and if the speakon thing really concerns you buy them and change over the jacks to speakon but tbh there nout wrong with jacks! andy Quote
tonyquipment Posted April 18, 2013 Author Posted April 18, 2013 Thanks the replies guys appreciate it ! I have trace Elliot rig now.. ! Heavy but it's really loud! Quote
pietruszka Posted April 18, 2013 Posted April 18, 2013 Hartke cabs are great, I had a transporter 410 and loved it. Go for it, as others have said, they're no frills cabs and sound great! Dan Quote
