I'd go with the 2X15, you won't regret it.
I upgraded to one from a 4X10

currently running
Sunn Beta Bass into Sunn 215B

Sometimes I use my Concert Basses (when I do I plug in the back & defeat the pre-amp)
Sunn Coliseum Bass--->Sunn 215B
Sunn Beta Bass--->Ampeg 410HLF
Sunn Beta Lead--->Marshall 4X12
2 Sunn Concert Basses
3 Fender P's, 1 Fretless J, 2 Statss, AmpegPlexiBass
OC-2 + QTrons + RATs + VTBass

Thats great, I got my 2nd Concert Bass & 215B together as a matched pair on CL for $450
Bought the Beta Bass for a great price off a local music messageboard.

Believe me, if I had seen a 300 for the right price I'd have snagged that too, haha.

I would think one of the heavy duty 2x15 cabs like the 215BH.  Just got a 300 - have not tried it yet.  Are these different than the realwide solid state ones?

If there is not a headphone Jack, then I don't think so.  I have heard of adapters but not worth the money when you can get a Tascam bass trainer to do that.

so i just noticed the difference is various coliseum 300 heads, some are covered in tolex with handles on the sides and metal corners and some have a plastic (?) body with plastic edges.  i guess its the difference between red logo heads and white logo heads.  any differences in sound or quality?
you got it dude
