Ampeg SVT-810E Bass EnclosureAmpeg's signature enclosure since 1969, the SVT-810E provides sonic excellence at nearly any volume level. High power handling and incredible efficiency provide thunder as well as definition. Each pair of Ampeg 10" drivers is housed in a separate infinite baffled chamber for excursion control and damping. This particular cabinet's eight 10" speakers make it quite a sight to behold, but that's nothing compared to how huge this tone monster sounds. The SVT-810E features a 2" voice coil with 30 oz. magnets and is capable of handling 800 watts RMS of continuous power and 1600W power peaks! This tower of tone may be heavier than its SVT brethren, but one listen and you're sure to fall in love with every pound.

I bought this cab and hooked it up to my 3pro and it's pretty sick. Good tone with the correct eq settings. Now I can get the workout done at the gig moving this load.
I've come to only love this amp and this amp alone. I played it once and it's had me ever since. It may be a little big but it's so worth it. And it doesn't take damage like some amps I've used and abused.
I have used numerous cabs and amps over my years of playing bass (currently I am running an SVT4pro head with two custom built cabs: a 4x10 and a 1x15). The Ampeg 8x10 is one of the best 8x10's out there, and after reading the last review I knew something had to be said. For everyone out there who doesn't understand how to properly mate amps and cabs/speakers: when putting together an amp/cab combo, you have to make sure that the amp and the cab have power ratings that are very close to one another. When you use an underpowered amp to run a cab or speaker the amp sends a distorted signal to the cabinet speakers, resulted in abysmal sound quality (distortion/fuzz) and blown out speakers. THIS CABINET (or any 800 watt rated cabinet for that matter) WILL NOT WORK PROPERLY IF YOU POWER IT WITH 20 OR 150-200 WATTS! Please do not do this and then write a review about it, as that is helpful to no one. This cab is of excellent quality: it's extremely tough, roadworthy, and will kick out some serious, ballsy bass tones when used properly. Try one and see for yourself.
My first experience with the SVT world was in 1981, before Eden, EA, Hartke, etc. were even around. I knew this was the bad boy of bass amps, so I bought it. At the time I was playing in a full time club rock band and this was perfect for everything we did. Most of what we did had the bass track recorded on this amp! It sings out warm and strong, and tubes aside, it cuts through the mix as well. Nothing else like it and I have played them all. If you can handle the size and weight, it is the only amp to buy. I can handle it and I'm 51 years old. It's a great semi-portable design, so no worries. Tilt it back on the wheels and you're good to go.
I play punk music. This cabinet, paired with an Ampeg 1200 watt head is the best you can get. Nothing compares to it in my opinion. This cabinet rocks when used with a Fender or Ernie Ball bass. Overall it is a great cabinet. I use it for all of my shows and you should too. I worked a graveyard shift at a liquor company all summer so I could buy this. It's a little pricey but its totally worth it.
