8 X 10 in. Ashdown BlueLine drivers in a tuned plywood cabinet.

The ABM 810 is a 1200 watt 4 Ohm bass cabinet featuring 8 X 10 in. Ashdown BlueLine drivers in a precision tuned plywood cabinet. The cabinet is constructed from high-grade birch ply with properly screwed and glued joints, protected by a tough, buffalo leather cloth covering and chromed metal corners. Special Ashdown-designed metal handles are used in favor of inferior flip handles which can rattle after years of use. Ashdown BlueLine speakers are specially developed to achieve a superb balance of power, transparency and deep, controlled low end, without sacrificing any of the mid-band attack and high-end brightness that are so important in a modern bass sound.

I will never play anything else, ashdown is my product
Sound
Tone that cuts through, but also has a tone that can be felt as well as heard. The #1 problem with an 8x10 is the lack of a low, warm growl; not the case here. I have never played a show (since owning it) where the other bands didn't ask to use it. Best sound in any line up.
Features
Compleately inclosed cabinet, premire handles that will never rattle, 1200 watts RMS... only 1/4 connection (-1/2) the most heavy cabinet known to man (-1/2).
Quality
Plug and play, never puts up a fuzz. Solid as rock! I have dropped it off a stage, not even a dent. Although the leather does chip and scratch a little easily (-1)
Value
I really don't know... You can't seem to find any... anywhere
Manufacturer Support
I have never even needed it... but I have called (to ask questions I could have just looked up in the manual) and the people were kind and fast
