for the price this thing sounds like its worth a lot more than it is. this thing can pump out the lows while kicking the highs out with ear peircing cut

i think it could use another imput jack. it only has one and its kind of annoying if you have stereo or multichannel bass head

so far so good. it seems to be your standard durability bass amp.

yes, so cheap but so amazing

nope, however i have heard only good things about hartkae. ive always heard great thing from people from every genre of music.

is this a trick question?

When i tried it in the store, it was the only cab in the price range that could handle the lows without farting. beautiful warm, punchy tone. when i got it to practice it did not sound good at first, but then i realized i was under powering it with a GK MB 150s (150W). so i got a Markbass little mark II (500W) and wow! great sound! I bought it for the lows and this cab does not disappoint.

its a cab.

good quality. holds up to use.

unbelievable value. could not get a better 2x15 cab for two or three times the price.

looks nice. its cool dig.

As others have stated, the lows this thing throws are amazing. People have stood in front of it during practice just to feel the air this thing kicks out! Obviously, the highs aren't very good, but that horn can't compete with two 15's. I'm probably going to be pairing it with a GK 4X10" to maximize my high end, and not have to push the Hartke fill-throttle.

Everybody says it only has one input...but mine has two!

Very simple, as it's a cab. Quite heavy, but not too ridiculous...just have to use some backbone to get it around!

Bought mine used, and still have never had any problems with it, other than occasionally re-tightening the screws for the mesh cage (which when you feel the power of this cab, you'll understand why haha). Other than that, a very reliable cabinet.

Absolutely worth it!

Have dealt with them to get the manual for my HA5500 amp...they were very helpful, and professional in obtaining it.

For us small-time musicians out there, playing on a budget...WOW definitely covers it!

Because it was big, I went around looking at other cabinets the past couple weeks to see if I could match the sound. What I found looking around is making me rethink if being so big is actually a problem. This cabinet sounds as good as 15" speaker cabinets 2 - 3 times the price.

For being so big, it's LIGHT. Weight-wise it's similar to most 1x15 cabinets I've seen (60 - 70lbs).

This cabinet survived cats treating it like a scratching post, guitarist temper-tantrums, and accidentally dropping it down some stairs. To be fair though, I've never seen it take blows to the grill, so there could be holes in its invulnerability.

You WON'T find a better sounding cab for the money. In fact, this cab spoiled me. I figured because of its price that I'd be able to find 1x15 and 2x10 cabs in the same pricerange that can do what this does. I haven't yet.

It has the sound. It can take a beating. Its size makes it a bit of a bear to move around on your own, especially in tight stairwells.

sounds like crap, right out of the box. i still like hartke, but the xl series is the only legitamate choice. i can't believe they actually let people buy these things!

it's a cab, how many features do you want?

it's a joke

maybe you could use it as a table?

good company, easy return on past items.

it sucks

This cab will not hold up in a loud gig without a mic. I was able to crank the mids and highs without problem but anything below my low Ab sounded terrible.

Cheap materials, no caster, the grate cover part was all wonky and bent when I got it new. Don't mess with Hartke.

I sent back the first one because it sounded so bad, and when the replacement came, it was a little better, but in my opinion, still sucked!

I tried calling Hartke and left messages and emails, which were never returned. According to their line, they were closed during their regular business hours.

Don't waste your time, I didn't listen to the other review on here that suggested to use it as a coffee table...but now I whole-heartedly agree.

This cab sounds extremly nice. The lows are crystal clear. The highs arent good. But cmon, its a 2x15. If you want highs get a 4x10.

THERE IS ONLY ON INPUT ON THIS CAB. It says 2 on alot of websites, even on the manual! but there is 1. I dont know why. However, This cab still kicks ass, i only need 1 input anyways.

This cab gets an excellent sound. The cone is honestly not that good. Its average. You wont get crystal clear highs on this cab. But allways clear lows.

it has nice handles, the corners are plastic but steardy.

Definitly worth it. Buy it for the lows, you wont be sorry.

its nice looking and its sounds great

I bought mine used from a pawn shop for 250.00 It was well worth the cash, sounds great..

I have been playing bass guitar for 35 years. I have used an Ampeg SVT3 8/10" bottom most of those years. I have been looking for a smaller cabinet that can handle bass loud and low - the way I like it - without distortion for a very long time. No smaller speaker cabinet could begin to get the job done. The Hartke 215 paper speakers with horn has unbelievable tone quality. I had tried every half stack made at any price and the Hartke (now $339) blows them all away. If you are frustrated with your bass bottom try this cabinet, it is excellent.

this cab is great. its really cheap and can really kick out the lows and high that you need for any gig. for the price. you cant go wrong. the only comlpaint i have is; if you dont have a good powerful head. this cab wont put out like it should. im currently using an old 300 watt peavey PA head. and its not cutting it too well..however..if you want to really boost your sound for more than half the price. you should with out no doubt get the hartke bass driver. it cleared up my sound and boosted my lows and highs sooo much. it UNBELIEVABLE!!

its a bass cab..how many features can it have? lol

this amp is pretty well made. im not really sure how well its going to hold up to me giging a lot with it though. i dont think i will have any probelms honestly.

never had to call

this is a very nice nice profesional looking amp. it just looks big and pricey. ive gotten lots of compliments on the looks, as well as the sound.
