Low B vs. speaker size

[Randy Rodncal]

I neglected to mention that I only play small clubs and weddings, so I don't need to move alot of air. More important to me is tone clarity and ease of transport. Can I get that with any cab smaller than a 410 to compliment the 210xst? If not, how would a 410xst work out? Thanks

Sorry, I'm confused; need more info. Do you already have a 210XST(8) or 210XST(4) and looking to add to it???

If you are doing small clubs (not sure what you consider small clubs and do you run DI to FOH???) and weddings and would NEVER want to utilize multiple Cabs; get the 210XST(4) and be done. Problem I have with this? The 800B is way too much amp for one 210XST(4 or 8 Ohm) Cab. Or, IF I were going to run just one Cab with the 800B (btw: not a chance), I'd get the 410XLT(4). Otherwise, I'm running the 210XST(8) and 410XLT(8) Bridged.

If you are going to just play small clubs and already have a 210XST(8), add a 210XLT(8) and call it a day. This way you will have the option of running one or both Cabs bridged and have tone and headroom to spare. Plus, you have portability options.

Thanks for the advice! Should I totally forget the 210/12 or 15 stack? Don't have a 210xst but am shopping ??? Will running it alone with the 800b do any damage? Have a 410xst(8) available. Rated at 1000 watts, would it be better than the 210xlt/210xst stack?

Only you can decide what Speaker Cab to choose (i.e. 112, 212, 115, 215, etc). Each have their own sound and most every room is different, requiring a different set-up. So, if you have the option to also run DI to FOH, then you'll also have a better option as to what you choose to set-up on stage.

Running a 210XLT or 210XST (8 or 4 Ohm) will not damage the 800B. However, like I said before, that's a waste of Amp for one 210 Cab.

If you choose the 410XST(8), get a 210XLT(8) to compliment it. This will also be one KICKIN set-up running bridged out of the 800B!
"Would it be better than the 210XLT/210XST stack"?...If you want portability as you stated, then No, it would not be better. Again, a 210XLT(8) and 210XST(8) will give you portability and one KICKIN set-up running bridged out of the 800B.

For me, I prefer running Bridged Mono, however, if you don't choose to run Bridged Mono, you can opt to run Dual Mono out of the 800B as well. Make sure you know your Amp and Cabs!
