stjohn Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 I need to get a 4ohm 4x10 for my svt2pro. The obvious candidate is the ampeg 410hlf, however, I want the USA built one (so second hand). To the esteemed masses I ask..... Any alternatives that are within my 300quid price bracket?! criteria is need to be of a similar build quality to the ampeg (rugged) and around 400 watt. And 4ohm! I will pay a tad more for an ampeg in good nik, but defiantly am open to alternatives. Cheers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lozz196 Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 Welcome to the forum. If weight isn`t an issue, a Peavey TVX 410 would be in budget of you can find one. Peavey make gear that is virtually indestructible and the added bonus is that these cabs sound great. But they are big/awkward/heavy.

I used to use one with a Trace Elliot amp and it was a great combination . Edited September 28, 2013 by Dingus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xgsjx Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 From what I've seen of recent Ampeg build quality, it's been a bit Gibson. Random. What about one of the Barefaced cabs that's in the For Sale section? Not sure if any are 4Ω though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The USA stuff (what, 90's to early 00's) was the real ampeg, but now they are flogging Chinese built stuff FOR THE SAME PRICE! Now, nothing against China, that make some good kit but I don't expect to be paying USA prices for it. The cab I want would be a used USA one. Liking the look of the peavey stuff. Got me eye on a few cheepys to entertain me till I am loaded (yeah right!) Never heard of barefaced stuff so will have to have a ganders. Volume ain't really an issue enough on stage to hear it the rest'll be through a desk/front of house. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marvin Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 I've no complaints with the B-410hlf I bought. It maybe Chinese made, but it's built well and sounds great. Rasta on here, who I bought it from, preferred it to the SVT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stjohn Posted September 28, 2013 Author Share Posted September 28, 2013 I had the Chinese 8x10, the plastic wheel cracked within a month of owning it (yank ones are rubber I believe). Bloody great cab though just a bit big for what I do now. Also didn't have the horn dial thingymablobsy, but that wasn't a major as live it makes f all difference anyway!
