Feature:
Could not test the limited features. It rattled when I attempted to use the bottom. It has a horn, but no volume control. It only has one input jack and the cheapest pair of casters I have ever seen on a speaker cabinet. Do not waste you time on this poor quality cabinet. Save your money and buy an Ampeg. That's exactly what I did.
Quality:
This cabit would not last ond week on the road. It is advertised as being built with 3/4 inch plywood. It is not. I measured it at the side panel and rear panel as well as the broken front brace. All 1/2 inch cheap plywood. Not only does Hartke build cheap cabinets, they aparently mislead you as well.The internal brace that broke, did not even have the nails holding it on. The nails missed the board completly.DO NOT BUY THIS BOTTOM!!
Value:
Acomplete waste of time, effort, money and a misleading company. I was told this product was made in the USA. I found out it's made in China. Now I know why this bottom is so cheap.....it's so cheap.
Desirability:
It is a very attractive 8-10 bottom. I wish I could report a more positive product.
Sound:
I bought two of these cabinets. I had to. The first one was damageg in shipping, or so I thought. It was just a cheap, overseas made cabinet. The internal bracing had all broken loose. Sounded horrible when I attempted to play it. So, I exchanged it for another one. Showed up with the same problem, internal bracing broken. I took pictures and sent them to Hartke. Thats when I found out they stoped making Hartke products in the USA. They are now all made in China. Cheaply made. Samson Tecnoldgies bought out Hartly and now will ruin the brand. Also, they state cabinet is made with 3/4 inch plywood. Not true. It's 1/2 inch thick. I measured the sides and rear panel as well as the broken braces. Maybe if they did not "cheapen up" the bottom in order to make more money, we could rely on quality from Hartke. I will never buy another Hartke piece of junk again. Two weeks of frustration and grief from their customer lack of support dept.
Support:
Customer care was a joke. You have to leave your call back number. There is not a live person available and now I can see why. Would you like to have answer angry customers questions on the poor quality products Hartke now offers. I have returned both bottoms and recevied credit and purchased an Ampeg bottom. It costs more, but it's made in the USA and is a quality product.
Overall:
Read above reviews. The company, in my opinion is shady. I got a form letter email from them dening any problems, and rectulanty they admited that their products are now made in China since 2004 when Samson Tech. took over Hartke. Do not trust or buy from this company.
