Other3/4' MDF constructed, vinly type covering, Ported Bass Reflex, heavy duty handles
First off, I reviewed this speaker enclosure paired up with the matching Marshall MB450H hybrid head pushing 300W @ 4Ohms. As well, I play in a 5 piece blues/r&b/funk and classic rock band.

This 600W RMS 410 cab produces an amazing wall of tight, well defined music (notice I said not just sound!) I play an active 5 string bass and it produces those low notes without reservation and without sounding flabby or "out of control." The switchable HF horn does an excellent job reproducing the highs of standard finger-style and slap bass.

On the back you will find 1 1/4" jack, 1 Speakon jack, and the HF Switch.

For the price, this cabinet is definately worth the look and consideration. On the downside, this cab is pretty heavy. As it is made of 3/4" MDF, I would strongly suggest AGAINST attaching castors on this cabinet. Why? My daytime job is in the kitchen cabinetry industry and MDF does not hold screws very well (if they are over-tightened). I would suggest building a plywood base and screwing the castors to the plywood.
