Ashdown Mini 1x15s

The only gripe I have with the 4x8 really is the fact that mine isn't one of the newer neo ones, and so it's a lot heavier than it looks like it shoud be lol

Thats one of the resons that puts me off taking mine out sometimes

Agreed, but part of me feels that small cabs should be light, I wouldn't mind so much if it was a big-ass cab lol.
I've picked up Epifani 4x10's that are lighter!

The Mini 15 though is pretty light

I may well invest in some mini 1x15s if I can find them. I think 2 600 watt rigs running together should see that I have plenty of tone to fill even the largest venues.

And yes, the 4x8s are ridiculously heavy. I train 5 times a week, with weights, and even I find them annoying.

With two mini48 cabs and two mini 15's my suggestion would be two simple heads. I use a Markbass F500 with my Ashdown mini48 & a vintage and ultra rare GK115LB cab. However, as correctly explained earlier you'd be down to 2 ohms, so, send a more 'trebly' sound thru one head (amp) to the pair of mini48's, then line out to another head - eg F500 and feed that output to the mini15's (best sited on bottom). Thereby you can tweak tone for 15's making them bass heavier. It is almost a biamp set-up of sorts! And akin, to Alembic F-1X or Alembic Series Bass stereo output... Perhaps it should be asked: do you need 4 cabs?, albeit ultra compact! Alternative definitely worth very serious consideration: MarkBass NY604 - astonishing capability way beyond the laws of physicals and expectations esp evident with a throbbing, fat jazz bass sound!!
