Feature:
quick to setup and rugged

Quality:
they could have done better on the front grill. the corners are not secured well but that doesnt affect anything but looks. I bought this because of the way it sounds not for looks.

Value:
better than any thing in its price category BY FAR

Desirability:
ITS A CAB, for pete's sake! it looks like a cab. I bought it. enough said.

Sound:
UBELIEVEABLE ! I got the 4200 cab with the 4000 head. This rig has most definately exceeded my expecttations. I have been using a peavy centurion (130 watts) and a 2x15. We play in an auditorium that seats about 1100 people. Every week, I was told "you are getting lost in the mix". I got the HA4000 with 4200...one word, AWSOME. I only had to turn up to "2" and there was plenty of bass. I was very impressed with the amount of PUNCH and also the the amount tone controll was remarkable. I never could figure out how some bass players get that "gliss" on the way up.... with the setup I have now slides sound great (up or down). I am finally able to get that slap sound that has eluded me for a long time too. Our drums, guitar and bass stand on a riser and we can actually FEEL the bass with our feet! The only reason I give it an 8 it because in my opinion, I will need to add the 1800 cab soon to finish rounding out the sound on the low end. Other than that, this is positively the most bang for your buck. plenty of headroom.

Support:
they are not in a hurry to answer emails but the emails I sent were not of warranty issues, just information inquires. the person responding had helpfull replies and seemed to be knowledgable.

Overall:
overall the best for what I needed and by far the best in its price category. I cannot immagine anything else comparable, other than the fact that I will get a 1800 (1x18) cab to go with it, I cannot forsee replacing it.

I have been playing on this anp with a Hartke 4000 and I have been really impressed. A few months later I had my bass tuned up. Then I got to see the real power of this amp. I only turn it up to 4 on the volume and the bass comes out clean and LOUD. Up to 6 and it is almost too much to take, but still sounding clean. I sure got my moneys worth!! I love it.

zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us.
Feature:
Love the 38oz. magnet in the horn and the freqency response covers the range of my 5-string ESP. It has all the features of a reliable, high-quality cab.

Quality:
I'v never used Hartke but this appears to be the best equipped cab i'v found under $600. Seems sturdy too.. 125lbs is alot of weight though..

Value:
Its the best i'v found so far.

Desirability:
Im doing everything i can to make this cab a part of my setup.

Sound:
I like the heavy magnets this thing has.. plenty of bass tone! It actually has all the same features my favorite bassist (Ru-D from Mudvayne) has in his Ampeg w/o the steep price and has only half the watts.. which is exactly what i was looking for.. this thing will most likely be the highlight of my life this Christmas

Overall:
I'll definitely have the best cab around here. The best i'v seen from the bands around here is a Peavey 2X10. It sounded great but it wont compete with this.. so basically what im trying to say is.. The Dude Abides

First off I must give kudos to Hartke for
taking their cabinets a step further in sound
and quality. This thing is for the pros with roadies. Actually I owned this cab for 2 days. Why? Because this thing is bulky and heavy..very heavy!! carrying it up and down the stairs was a monumental task. very hard to get a good grip on it.
The sound is incredibly smooth, focused and punchy covering the bass spectrum very well. The dispersion horn is top notch. Projects beautifully. There are no other 4 10s out there that sounds this powerful and it never loses its focus, see for yourself. One great thing is that its a 4 ohm cab. If you are considering getting one just think about those 2:30 am gigs and you still have to pack up and bring this home with you!!
