Stacking similar cabs (2/10 with 2/10) yields an extra 6db gain over what the second cab yields by itself.
Like the company contribution to your 401k !! Free money - free gain.

Wether it's side by side or stacked doesn't matter. As long as the physics of it are met.

Any of you Trace nuts willing to chat about some gear with me sometime?
Looking to confirm a few things RE era, also to clarify some head/cab model info that I can't quite put together from reading all the pages through search these last few days.

Shoot me a PM sometime if you would chat and help. Thanks in advance :D

2 preset eqs 12 band eq blend able with the presets. 2 effects loops pre and post eq, tuner out, line out, fused speaker out 4 ohm min load, foot switch ready, stereo mono outs ....
I'd snatch it up for 200...

Oh wait, I have one already... :)

I just bought a trace elliot ah300 gp12 series 6 amp head.
Now I am wondering what whould do the job as cabinet.
Im playing in a hard rock band with two guitarists using 100w 412 stacks. And third guitarist is joining our group later on.

Is one 410 4ohm cabinet enough? I would like to have lot of headroom. Not pushing the head and cab too hard.

Or should i get 2*410? Or is it overkill? Or does amp have enough power for this?

Or how about bying one 410 8ohm at first and then see do I need more?

If you buy a 4 ohm cab you're done at one cab.
That head has a min load of 4 ohm. If you add a cab you will be less than 4 ohm and you will damage the amp.

You could use two 8 ohm cabs and be right at optimum load for the amp.

Add a cab will increase your volume and stacking similar cabs will increase your volume plus an extra 6 db for free because of the physics of stacking.

Let me start out by saying that you have all the power you will ever need in that very underrated 300 watt head.

I play in a metal band with a loud drummer and two 100w full stacks for the guitarists. That's two 412 cabs each. Our bass rig is an Ampeg SVT-6Pro (1200 watts) into four Hartke cabs, two 410's and two 115's (Note to purists: don't derail this thread into a discussion about beaming, mis-matching cabs, etc. etc.!! It's my church's rig, okay? Okay.)

Last July the Ampeg went belly up. Borrowed my friend's SMX 250 watt head. Ran all cabs into a series junction box to give the TE head an 8 ohm load. When set for my bass' input properly, I have the volume on '1' and it's just as loud as the Ampeg with plenty of headroom - and more volume if I wanted to blow everyone else off the stage. It's no joke - that "little" 250 watt head is a monster (and sounds better with less fuss IMO). Through my friend's 215 cab it just pounds.

So, what you need to get are 4 ohm cabs and make a junction box to run them in series to get 8 ohms. That way, if you ever want to run four cabs you'll get the most out of your amp - but at that point you'll need structural reinforcements in the building where you are practicing... :bassist:

To be serious, two 8 ohm cabs should suffice - or one 4 ohm 215 like my friends.
