I bought this amp because I really wanted a 4-10. Every amp I ever had has had 15 inch speakers. I've owned a 15 inch combo, and two 2-15 cabinets. I thought the 10 inch speakers would brighten up my sound, and that it did.

I use this cab in conjunction with a Sunn 2-15. It delivers full out sub-harmonic attack. I play in an indie emo band with a twist of punk served with a slice of hard rock served chilled. I use my fingers, but sometimes use a pick, this cab can handle it all. When I am just practicing, I dont use the 2-15, because lets face, there is no need. At practice I bi-amp though. One practice my guitarist who is also my brother unplugged the 2-15 because he needed the speaker cable...I didnt notice until the end of practice...does that answer how it handles different frequencies? I could of bought any cab I wanted I had enough for SWR, Peavey, and what not..but I chose this. The reason I didnt choose the classic SVT series cabs, is because I dont think the tolex and grill cloth would hold up on tour, and this cab needs to be hard as a rock to survive tour...and it is.

This cab is not heavy by any means, the lightest 75 pounds I've ever had to lift.

My last comment and suggestion is...if you get this cab, invest in a nice 1-15 to slap underneath this baby. Not a 2-15, it muddies up the mix, which is why im dumping my 2-15 for a 1-15. If there are any questions, email me, id be happy to answer you. I know how frantic I was before I bought this cab, because I didnt want to waste any money.
