Awesome!!
This was purchased to match up with my MB500. Great, punchy tone. Bite of a 10 with the lows of a 15.
Great cabinet!
Sweetwater's customer service is 5 stars also!!
Great Bass Cab
Just had this had this delivered a few days ago. Haven't gigged with it yet but I'm sure it will be great on a gig. The construction seems to be good and it's relatively compact. In my opinion. It's lightweight compared to the 2 Aguilar SL 112's I was using like 7lbs lighter.
Just based on testing at home great tone punch. Good variable control of the HF horn.
Great buy.
These are the real deal.
Bought these cabs as part of the Sweetwater bundle - 1200 Legacy Head and 2 - 2x12 NeoIV cabs.
The rig sounds fantastic.
The 2x12's have more midrange presence and a fuller tone, whereas the 410's are more scooped and tinnier sounding.
Not necessarily a bad thing in either direction, just personal preference.
I feel that the 12's are more versatile, considering you can still scoop the tone with the amp's 4band eq or with your bass' preamp and still get the best of both worlds.
Beware, these cabs are not the lightest. So if you're a frequent performer, be prepared to haul haha.
Quality and finish is fantastic, they're built like tanks.
This rig all together is indescribably loud. Both cabs connected to the 1200 Legacy are pushing 600 watts each - for a total of the full 1200 at 4 ohms. It's INSANELY loud.
A single cab will get the full 800 watts at 4 ohms. Fantastic.
There is almost no scenario in which both of these cabs would ever need to be used together, unless you're just trying to visually impress on stage or literally wanting to become deaf along with your band-mates and audience (-;
Very satisfied with the purchase!
Super pro rig combined with GK Legacy 800 amp.
4 ohm cab with 4 ohm setting on amp make for 800 watts with head room to spare. Very punchy and clean. I got the bundle price for amp, cab, and Speakon cable saving hundreds of $. Love this rig check it out bassists.
Thanks Sweetwater

Killer tone and build
Top quality bass cabinet, built like a tank, and sounds great!!!! Very happy with the purchase! Thanks Brook Floyd for the assist!!
Great package
Great ext cab for my 800 watt powered neo IV 2x12 cab. Very versatile amp! Great tone!
Built like a Tank and sounds like a Cannon
Like so many ,I'm power hungry..The cabs I had were 8 ohms,cheating me of a 3rd of the power my GK Fusion head produces.That can drive two 4 ohms cabs.Power and light weight is what so many seek.You can't go wrong with these cabs if that's your goal.The outer Cover is world class,and built to last,you wont need a Tuki cover..They sounds like a 4x10 cab..Clear as a bell highs,chest thumping powerful yet Clean booty shaking Lows....Very portable gigwise ,it's easy to move 2 of these,they fit in my 2 door Mercedes..
Lightweight, powerful sound
This cabinet pounds. It sounds amazing at any volume. It's light. I was looking for a single cab to haul around, which involves up and down my basement stairs, to pair up with the D800+ Mesa head. This one checks all of the boxes and looks great doing it. Did I mention how light it is? One hand carry. I deducted half a star because if the handles were on the balance point this would carry like luggage. The coating seems quite rugged and looks great. Very happy with this purchase, and of course with the top notch service I always get from Mike Arango at Sweetwater.
Smells like chemicals
Seems because GK is so backordered and rushing things out the factory without letting the coating cure properly or not mixing the batch right in the first place. now let me be honest this thing sounds awesome, but that's where any and all respect ends. This thing reeks of whatever protective coating they used, I took the speakers and hardware off and literally put it in direct sunlight with a slight breeze for almost 2 days straight and it's still smells so bad that I can't keep it in the same room. I think I'm done with you GK .
