ReviewsFeature:
I bought this because I believed it was the lightest 300W bass cab around, only to discover it is only rated 150W RMS, and the tweeter blew at 175W.
Quality:
The cabinet seems pretty sturdy, but is way lighter than other similiar cabs, and the speakers totally suck! If you can get one cheap enough to re-speaker it, tweeter too, it may be worth the money, otherwise, keep saving.
Value:
Comparitively inexpensive, but not worth it in the long haul.
Desirability:
Looks cool, sounds poor.
Sound:
This Cab sounds OK, if you totally underpower it at less than 100 Watts RMS, 8 ohm. I tried it as an extension for a guitar amp, and that sounded a little better at higher freqs. For use in real live gigs, where more bass volume is necessary, this thing blats and crackles like a sheep frying bacon. So, save up a few more bucks for and SWR or a Fender.
Ease of Use:
Low volumes are all this thing will handle. If you approach max rating, it "airs" out quickly and distorts horribly.
Support:
I voided my warranty by replacing the junk paper cone with a heavier duty after market driver, and left the horn out, as a port. So I don't know how well I would have been treated by hartke.
Overall:
I am already saving up for its final replacement. An SWR Working Pro 115.
