10 out of 10Feature:
The locking corners for other Hartke cab's is a nice touch.
Quality:
Ok let me tell you! I got two boxes shipped to me and both boxes got tore up! This one took the worst of it. It appears that a forklift or something just tore into the box and hit the cab. It dented the wood under the carpet cover on both sides on the front of the cab but no other damage. I just rubbed the marks off the carpet and decided I would try it out anyway. Sounds great! No rattle or any other issues at all. I like this product so much I'm not returning it because I know it will take to long to get a new one. I know this because I got the last one in stock! So a little dent in the wood under the carpet isnt' going to stop me form breaking the plaster off the walls!
Value:
For the price you can't find a better bottem end.
Desirability:
These cabnets look great and sounds even better!
Sound:
For delivering that bottem end boom this is the cab you have been looking for. Your not going to get upper mid's or high's out of it. This cab needs at least 2 10" speakers and horn if you want the whole range. Unless, the only sound you want is pant vibrating low's.
Ease of Use:
Plug it in, adjust your head unit and go!
Support:
Not used but If I need to I have seen some good reviews.
Overall:
I shopped arround alot before making my final choice. I wanted the whole deal! Bottom end boom, mid range punch, and crisp high's. I found it! Put this with the Hartke 2.5XL cab and you won't need anything else! Except maybe another stack!
yes
no

10 out of 10Feature:
no accesories we are men we dont need them
Quality:
one of the most durable cabs
only bad thing is the outside it is like a carpet
Value:
oh yes most definately i would pick it over any other amp
Desirability:
haha lets not go here
Sound:
just add a 410 cab and you are set
Ease of Use:
the 15 alone wont give you a hard punch like it does with a 410 cab but by itself i does produce a rather splendid bottomy kinda jazz bass sound
Support:
yes they were very easy too they know what bass players need and know the prices we can afford
Overall:
actually i am on the prowel for a second so i can have two 15s and 410s
yes
no

10 out of 10Feature:
My cabinet has new logo in the right lower corner. Plastic badge, not a thin metal sticker. Also, new handles built into the sides of the bottom. Nice touch. Hope the one I am getting tomorrow has the same updates. Built well and has dampining material inside for a "boomless" sound. Very warm sound for an aluminum speaker. Casters would be a nice touch however. This thing weighs 65 lbs. Two stacked are a lil heavy.
Quality:
Solid cabinet. I looked inside. Well braced and built. No MDF, solid 3/4 inch plywood throughout. Carpet covering and nice handles. Front grill has 6 points of contact. Does not rattle.
Value:
For the price, they can not be touched by anything out there. I have primarly played Ampeg for years. Hartke is a refreshing crisp sound. Worth every penny!
Desirability:
Instantly know it's a Hartke. No other cone stares at you like Hartke. The Hartke head i'm using, the ha4000, puts out 400watts rms. What a combination. Using a Spector Euro 4 Bass, and the walls crumble. Quite fun.
Sound:
Very good low end and still has plenty of highs. Really, the new cabinets with their "Horns" for bass are such a joke. I have been playing Bass 30 years. A good pair of 15's or some 8's is all you will ever need. Anything "gimmicky" to sell more product, and the public falls for it all the time.
Support:
Just got the cabinet. Hope not to have to contact the company. I used Hartke 115 xl 15's in the early nineties with an ampeg SVT head. Never had a problem. These cabinets are supposed to be the updated version.
Overall:
I'm finshed buying. I played Peavey one 18 plus two 10's. I played ampeg 8-10's, and single 18, (what a mistake), ampeg listed the wrong frequency rating for it. I have played altec 15's and Hartke are still the best all around sound for me. My style is progressive rock. I like yes, spocks beard....ect.
yes
no
