Sunn 4x10 bass cab
« on: May 17, 2008, 11:10:01 pm »
I'm curious if there was a early 70's  4-10 bass cabinet?
I currently use a pair of the 2-15's with a 350B but have been considering a 410 cab for a bit puncher sound.
 
Anyone have good results using a 4-10 vs the 2-15?
Can anyone recommend a good 4-10 bass cabinet?

No. There was a 70's 410S, but it's an open backed guitar cabinet.

Are you considering the 4X10's with the 2x15? I might suggest a 2X10 would be a nice fit with it. If you are looking for a 4x10 by itself, I am partial to the Peavey's when it comes to value. Used ones can be purchased for good prices and they sound nice. Their 2X10's are good as well. You might also want to consider a pair of JBL 2118's in a cabinet used with your 2X15. Put a 1 mfd cap in line with them and tyou'll be amazed at the clarity and punch they add. The 15's kick you in the gut while the 8's cut through the mix. Rated for 200 watts, these little beasts can handle about anything you through at them. Course you'd have to built the cabinet...but then you could make it a perfect match for your 215 cabinet.

Thanks for the suggestions! I have been giving some thought in pairing up an 8" with the JBL 15’s to keep the original Sunn vibe yet with some added midrange. My bass is northern ash and very solid and does not have alot of midrange resonance and could use the extra boost and punch.

Hi,
 I am a Sunn user for 36 years. See my profile. Sunn in the early 90's made a 4x10" cab for bass. I bought 2 SWR Goliath III cabinets, both 4 x 10" and yep go for it mix a 4x 10 with a 2 x 15". I have 2 JBL k-140 Equiped Sunn 200s cabs and have all kinda fun mixing and matching. I believe yer 350B(2000S) min load is 4 ohms so as long as you don't go below yer ok. I have a first Generation Model T(4 x 6550) and once owned a 1971 2000S. You can pick up a used 4 x 10" box for 200-300 on CL. Some of the GK stuff is cheap used and my fit yer needes. As is Peavey etc. If your 215 is 8 ohm then get a 410 in 8 ohm and yer set. The SWR "workingman's" series use 10" Eminence Drivers and these go for 200-300. Good luck and have a Sunn-y Day!
