This review has been selected by our experts as particularly helpful.
I've owned many manufacturers' cabinets since 1967. I've even owned a couple of early 70's Ampeg 810's. Several of the speaker leads burned in two. Sold 'em for something else. Had an SVT410HLF, too short. Then came the chance to get the 610. This is the one. I play live and record with it. It fits me well.
Sound
I've had other Ampeg speakers, SVT810 and 410HLF, and this speaker would seem like a compromise of the two, but it isn't. It has all the tone of the 810 and the low freq of the 410HLF with more volume. I like the way it projects to the entire room with clean, clear, deep power without being too loud in any one spot. I play with all my fingers and thumbs to get different textures of sound. This cab lets you do anything you want.
Features
Speakon and quarter inch inputs. Cool rail sliders on back keeps you from doing a lot of damage loading in and out of vehicles. Towel bar and wheels work great on smooth surfaces. Would be better if wheels were larger in diameter. In grass, dirt, rocks, etc use a hand truck.
Ease of Use
Yeah, it's got powerful lows, mids, and highs. You can overdo it, but if you have half a brain and know anything about gain structure you can get killer sound.
Quality
I've got one made with plywood. I hear some aren't. The grill on the front can be damaged easily, careful with that. Internal bracing is top notch, no rattles at all. Looks great.
Value
It is a premium speaker and I did pay dearly. Yeah, it is worth it.
Manufacturer Support
There wasn't a choice of "Don't Know". Never had to deal with them.
The Wow Factor
You put one or more of these things behind you and everybody will know you came prepared. I push it with a vintage black face Hartke 3500. Excellence. This thing makes even me look good. It's just the right height too. Short cabs shoot the sound out to the audience but not up to you, which makes you play louder than you should. They are also harder to load into a truck or van or SUV. This one you just tip over and push. Done.

"This cab is just right"

A bit like Goldilocks I’ve been looking for just the right cab. 4x10 cabs sound good and do great job reflecting your sound to the crowd but shoot your tone at your knees. 8x10s rule but suck to haul around. This one is just big enough to really hear yourself well without the issues of hauling around an 8x10. Plus this cab is ported for better low end response and has a tweeter when you need but you can adjust the output or shut it off when needed.
Sound
This cab sounds amazing and gets better the louder it gets. The construction of this cab gives you the best of both worlds. The top 4 speakers are a sealed design and give you warm punchy mids that are still articulate. The bottom 2 speakers are ported acting like a separate woofer giving you plenty of low end. I’m normally not a big fan of tweeters in bass cabs but this one sounds really good. It adds just enough top end to help cut through the mix without sounding harsh or overly bright.
Features
I love that it has a speakon connection and that you can attenuate the tweeter to fit your style. The other option I love are the side handles. They really help with loading into a vehicle and going up stairs. Most cabs with tilt back casters don’t bother to include side handles.
Ease of Use
Totally plug and play and it’s relatively easy to move for it’s size and weight.
Quality
Top notch. Looks amazing and sounds amazing. It’s built very solid with no rattling at high volume
Value
For the price you pay this cab is well worth the investment. I can’t find a single thing to complain about it. I’ve owned more expensive cabs that didn’t sound as good and were harder to haul.
Manufacturer Support
I’ve never had to deal with Ampeg support but I’ve heard good things about it plus now that Yamaha own Ampeg it should be top notch. Of course Zzounds has always taken good care of me anytime I’ve had a problem with an order.
The Wow Factor
Sounds amazing and looks good on stage. Enough said.

I have been playing bass for about 15 years now and have had numerous bass rigs and Combo amps. This is my first Ampeg and I wish I had of got one from the get go. This cab is sick! It has amazing Lows for 10" Drivers, which I have never been able to get with any 410 cab. Have always needed a 15 to get a decent sound. I can use this cab alone for most indoor shows and have no problem filling the room. Will still drag out a 15 for outdoor shows but this cab is def my Main now.

Ampeg SVT-610HLF Bass Cab Customer Review

Overall: 4.5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
Great cab. Takes lots of power and puts out punchy sound.
Sound
I don't give 10's. This thing sounds amazing though. Punchy and deep and loud. Does the job admirably.
Features
OK, so here's a 10. This thing has neutrik jacks and a horn attenuator. What else do you need? I do like the handle and wheels. They make it relatively easy to lug around. Also the rails on the basck are a big plus to protect the back from damage when sliding it in the back of my van.
Ease of Use
Another 10! I mean, plug n play. Duh.
Quality
The Tolex could be tougher, but otherwise it's pretty stout.
Value
I got mine used for $500. I think it's a good value at that price :)
Manufacturer Support
Haven't dealt with them.
The Wow Factor
Yup.
