Any of you guys ever on a 810 cab?

Only if it's provided as a back line item.

Does it destroy a 410 tone wise or volume wise?

I've actually thought this out to a great degree. If you're not cranking at 8:10, don't bother with an 8-10. It's wired at 16 ohms and you're not pushing any of the individual 10-inch speakers at all unless you're cranking and SVT or an SVT powered Thang. You're going to get way better tone at less volume from a 410.

 

[nukes]

At low volumes, an 8-10 speaker sounds positively anemic.

Good to know. I would rarely get the chance to crank an 810 I doubt I would even crank a 410 at my current gigs.

Once on a picnic table but never an 810.

 

[HipHugHer]

They're usually 4ohms not 16.

Yes they're louder.

If you're not cranking the 410 you be carrying twice the size and weight for nothing.

At the same time they can be easier to move as they tilt back and roll as if they're already on a moving dolly.

Speakers up closer to the ear instead of hitting the back of the knees makes it easier to hear.

They're overkill for your current gigs.

LOL I want to see him show up at the nursing home with an SVT and then Ampeg 810 fridge.

The 410 or the 810?

 

[Darth Handsome]

810 is overkill 100% of the time

 

[nukes]

The original 810 cabinets were designed for when there was no front of house support from giant PA systems with subwoofers etc etc.

They would probably tell me to get out. I've angered a few with some pretty intense Mic feedbacks. Almost killed one woman.

 

[nukes]

The who were the first band to complain about lack of volume. They got the engineers at high watt to re-engineer amplifiers that were loud enough to play the audiences that they were obtaining at the time

The 410 or the 810?

Most likely both but the 810 for sure.

Nursing home activity room is more combo amp or 210 cab territory. Can always turn a larger one down.

So most large bars probably? I've struggled to keep up with drummers with a GK back line 410 + 210. Though I don't think running those two cabs together helped any, probably just held the 410 back.

Those were a budget line with some el cheapo speakers in them.

A decent quality 410 or 212 with 200-300 watts to hit it with is pretty much the standard for carrying the room at your typical local bar with a few dozen noisy drunks in it.

I'm might go 410 when I upgrade. If I end up needing to. That way I've got some room to turn up for an odd gig, just in case.
