Overall it does the job I bought it for very well. I haven't had any problems with it musically. For the price I'd probably but it again. As i said the worst thing about it is the corner casters and placement of the handles for transporting concerns.
Sound
The Sound is good , I found myself competing with the lead and rhythm guitars (using a Fender BXR 60) but this cab would drown them out if I opted to. I find that the mids are a bit muddy but our music goes better with the lower register anyway so that's not a problem. The Bass response is tight and punchy, but, woofers will even boom with effects, if you really want the crowd to hear and feel you. Only downfall is the grille rattles a bit when it's cranked wide open. But it's not really neccessary unless you're just trying to be aggravating.
Features
No accessories included, there is a on/off switch for the tweeter but I really can't tell the difference either way so I don't use that. The company boasts the 1000 watt power handling capabilities but I find it has trouble handling 300 watts from the Behringer Ultrabass BX3000T.
Quality
The actual enclosure is built nice and tough, but the accessories suck. THEY JUST SUCK The corner caps are plastic not rubber or metal and they break easily. And the corner casters are the worst part considering the cab is so heavy, maybe it wouldn't be so bad for transporting if the wheels were bigger or if the handles weren't so low on the side of the cab. You'd better have some help if you're not He Man. Other than that would have been a ten
Value
Yeah, I guess it's worth the cost, Ive played through a few cabs and this one is just as good as the rest.
Manufacturer Support
Never had the need for support.
The Wow Factor
It's a sexy beast, yeah baby. It really stands out when you're on stage. The silver/goldish color of the cones and horn grab your attention, against the black facure and plush carpeting. I won't say lust but is an attractive piece.

"What more could you want?"
As stated, I'll grab a 15" to go with this. I wonder why the 15" is almost 2" less deep than this one? I'd make them the same size.
For the money, you can't go wrong. A Hartke 4.5xl costs almost twice as much. Spend the difference on a 15" to go with this one and you can play any venue! Serious air movement! Solid sound.
Sound
Nice tight cab. I have and do own Hartke gear and wonder why it's so expensive. A friend said this would be a cheap cabinet as he's owned some Behringer stuff but I find that absolutely not to be true...how can a 100# cabinet be built cheaply?!? And, speaking of which, it is damn heavy. The wheels are a nice "idea" but really don't work very well unless you're under 5' tall!
I'm going to augument it with an 15" cabinet and after playing thru this one for a while, will probably be a Behringer. I am running a Hartke HA4000 thru this and it shakes the whole house. Scares the dog and the wife. It's a good thing.
Features
I've seen some negative comments on the tweeter but I find it to be just fine in the on position...I just dial down the high on my amp. Just a scoch brighter with the tweeter on. As I said the wheels are a nice thought but really don't help much.
Ease of Use
Again, why buy Hartke for twice the price?
Quality
Well built. No rattles from anything.
Value
Did I mention Hartke? Maybe it doesn't have Hartke's dominant presence in the world of pro musicians...I don't know...I'm not a pro. I will tell you that I had a Pro 2200 with 2 12"s and this is every bit as solid and earth shaking if not moreso.

"Flexible, huge value, built like a tank."
Verified Purchaser
zZounds has verified that this reviewer purchased this specific product from us.
Great value at the price. If you're considering these, I would suggest comparing the BB410 and the BA410 directly, or even the BA115 in combination with the BA210 or BB210. They each can offer somewhat different advantages depending on what your seeking.
Sound
For bass and synthesizer bass this cabinet provides both solid, tight bottom end. It has great clarity and definition for a ported cabinet. The compression driver and the aluminum cones provide a bright edgey top end. Pretty easy to achieve whatever you want. I have tried it as a PA main as well - you need to add some brightness at the amp, but it works fine for that use, too. Compares very well to high end cabinets costing considerably more.
Features
Doesn't come with any accessories. The off/on switch for the compression driver is a useful feature, allows more top end when needed. Found it useful for Synth and PA in the on position. Bass is more mellow in the off position. It would be perfect if Behringer would wire it as an 8 ohm cabinet.
Quality
I will qualify this by saying I have read some failure reports. My particular cabs came through perfect, and speakers are fine. The cabinet is built like a tank. I will agree the corners are a weak spot, should be metal. Handled with some care, they should hold up for a long time.
Value
Outstanding value - nothing close in this price range except other Behringer cabinets.

"I dare you to try to find a better 4X10 for this price"
This cab is everything I was looking for - volume, tone, and price. I seriously doubt I will need to buy another cab in the future, since it will provide all the volume I will ever need and all the beefy, gut busting bass I could ever want all in one package.
Sound
Very beefy for a 4X10, and extremely smooth sounding for aluminum cones. It provides punch on the D and G, where most setups I owned seem to drop off. Awesome punch for slaps and pops, and smooth enough for fingerpicking. It's sensitivity will provide ample volume with relatively low power - 100W would drive it pretty loud, but a limiter would be recommended to avoid clipping damage.
Features
It has the basic ins and outs that most cabs have, but I wish it had a way to mount real casters underneath. A tweeter attenuator would also be nice, but the tweeter doesn't sound obnoxious when on.
Ease of Use
Plug and play.
Quality
Considering the cost, it's made extremely well. But there are some obvious areas where they cut corners (no caster mounts, no tweeter attenuator, plastic corners, etc) but most of that is cosmetic. The actual construction is made out of MDF, which is the same material home stereo speaker boxes are made of. Most higher end bass cabs are made of plywood, which is more durable, but weighs more. Despite being made of MDF, this baby is HEAVY! about 80+ lbs.
Value
I dare anyone to try to find a $300 4X10 that sounds this good!
Manufacturer Support
Haven't dealt with them personally, but those I know who have were well taken care of.
The Wow Factor
The cosmetic look of the cabinet face along with the beautiful platinum sheen of the speaker cones make it look like a much more expensive cab.

"Just Buy HARTKE!!!"
Verified Customer
zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
I have played through one of my friends cab like this before it blew, and it did sound really good! The cab is deep, and its tuned well, so all that's left to do is have the woofers move air... Unless the woofers blow from regular usage. Let me define what I mean with regular usage: I don't remember the amp that it was hooked up to, except that it was Behringer. Everything was hooked up correctly, the gain wasn't spiking/clipping the amp, the EQ was set near flat (just a little midrange scooped out, no additional boost), and the volume never went above half way up. Is it possible that there was simply a bad batch of speakers? Yes, or course; those things happen from time to time. However, after the new woofers blowing under normal operating conditions (I would dare say gentle operating conditions), and after the nightmare of repair, I would probably save my money if I were you. If you have to have the aluminum cones, the Transporter line from Hartke is a good alternative to this cab. They don't have the power handling that this cab is rated at, but you will get solid, consistant, loud performance at a really good price. For a better quality, save up for the XL series. If you can't resist the temptation of high power rating and low price, do yourself a favor and get the paper cone version of this cab. You'll be happier.
Sound
Decent sound production. Not as good as Hartke.
Features
4 X 10's and a tweeter in a deep, ported cabinet. The cabinet is actually pretty decent. What kills this cab are the cheap aluminum cones... I know guys that paired this cab with a Behringer bass amp, and managed to blow at least one of these cones within the first 3 months of ownership. It may be coincidence, but for two people that I know to have the same kind of thing happen in the same period of time... ...seems a little fishy to me... I also know three people that got the paper cone version of this cab and they love it! The paper cones hold up much better than the aluminum ones in the Behringer cabs.
Ease of Use
Not much to it -- plug in and play!
Quality
This cab sounds really good when you buy it and get it home. If you use this in a live gigging situation, it does have really good output! This thing is LOUD!! However, none of this matters if the aluminum cones blow from regular use! I understand buying this cab for the price. However, for around the same price, you can buy the paper cone version of this cab, or even the Hartke Transporter 410, and you'll have a good cab with woofers that will last.
Value
The price is great, but what kind of quality do you get with these things?
Manufacturer Support
The two guys that I know that blew these cones had to jump through hoops to get replacements. They told me they had a bad experience.
The Wow Factor
Not the aluminum cones... I'll save for something Hartke for aluminum. The paper cones I might consider.

Behringer BA410 Cabinet Customer Review
Sound
One tough cabinet-great sound.
Only reason I gave it a 9 is it's wheels.
They weren't big enough and it was hard to roll over rough surfaces.
I push it with a 350 Behringer amp and it loves it.
When playing in large clubs I mate it with a 1x15 Black widow cab to rattle the windows in the building across the street.

"READ BEFORE PURCHASING! Cabinet is a must, but you must know this..."
I really love this product, I just wish I knew more about it when I bought it, so I wouldn't have blown those speakers.
Sound
This is a great sounding cab, I love it's sharpness for the highs.
Features
Awesome features! [wheels/durable/switchable tweeter/aluminum cones/looks hot] Only thing wrong is I can't find a footswitch for the tweeter.
Quality
It is awesome, but it comes with a price. The Aluminum cones don't fare well with low fq bass. They rip with a real low hit. I've replaced 2 speakers already, only playing it twice. Its a bit of a hastle, its in the shop right now getting a new speaker, but I am looking at getting a 2-channel eq so I can lower the bass driven to my 4x10 and direct it towards my 15. Hopefully that will help.
Value
Great for the cheapest cabinet on the market.
Manufacturer Support
Both speakers I replaced were under warranty, so it just was an inconvienience, but they were great to me.
