Unfortunately GK put the feet on the wrong side. They should be on the short side to give a tall cab and better dispersion. You can rectify with a cheap set of feet or shift the stock ones.

True. I have stacked my CX210 the "tall way" without feet. I gained a little height but not much, since the speakers are arranged diagonally. I didn't notice a difference in sound either, but will probably experiment a bit more.

If the 210 runs out of puff in a loud situation, try putting it up on a chair so that you may hear it better. Then add another 210 asap. A vertical stack of 4 tens makes a great little rig for rocking out with unamplified drums.

I will 100% agree with the fact they should made this a vertical cab, I use mine at home so I just put it on its side but it sits on carpet. Good idea to put another set of rubber feet on. I feel the cab sounds better on its side.

Looking at the cab published specs I would start with the CX210 and most likely stay with the 210 or a CX410 (8 ohm) as a second cab.

This. You can use the 210 or 410 depending on the needs of the gig, and stack the two into a "610" when you really want to rattle the bricks.

The MB500 I played around with at Bass Central was the fusion so I don't have any experience with the regular model. Most of the dials and knobs should do the same on both. It can get crazy loud if you don't watch out!

you can't crank that 410 + 210 stack hardly any more than the 210 + 210 before you start stretching the 210. While the 410 idles it gives the impression of a heap of headroom which isn't there.

I have a MB500 and a Berg CN212 and it sounds amazing! I went though a few amps before I found the GK amp.
