Decades of pro musicians don't lie, the Ampeg SVT-810E Bass Enclosure will rattle your foundation. 8 - 10" speakers produce an incredible wall-of-sound! Fidelity is enhanced by the fact that each pair of speakers is in a separate internal cabinet that prevents standing wave interference. 800W RMS handling capability. 1,600W program handling. 4-ohm nominal impedance.
On May 1st, 2009, the Mackie, TAPCO, Crate, Blackheart and Ampeg websites will be updated with the addition of warranty URLs (e.g. www.mackie.com/warranty) expressing new A Stock warranty terms. These warranty URLs will go live on May 1st, 2009. Formerly, warranty periods for these LOUD brands appeared in a variety of locations – in product manuals (for Mackie and TAPCO) and on warranty cards and hang tags (for Crate, Blackheart and Ampeg). In order to streamline and clarify this process, Mackie, TAPCO, Crate, Blackheart and Ampeg warranty periods and terms will be communicated in full on the warranty pages. Any LOUD products purchased prior to May 1st will bear with them the manufacturer’s warranty as predates the new policy. Moving through this transition, in order for customers to obtain warranty service, both the sales receipt and a physical copy of the (older) warranty statement will be required by our Service and Support departments in order to issue Service Requests, etc. If the product was purchased on or after May 1st, 2009, but a physical copy of the older warranty terms is not presented, the new warranty terms and periods will apply. Meanwhile, the products that bear with them the new warranty periods (as reflected in the box contents of each product) are being tracked by serial #, and contain new warranty content referring customers to the appropriate brand website. The information below reflects the product warranty periods that will be effective on May 1st, 2009 for the Mackie, TAPCO, Crate, Blackheart and Ampeg brands: Mackie: A 3-year, nontransferable, inclusive warranty on electronics and a 2-year, nontransferable, inclusive warranty on drivers (where applicable) apply to loudspeakers (active and passive), power amps, powered mixers, and HR studio monitors.

Now you can get added warranty protection for your new gear. Pro Coverage steps in where the manufacturer's "normal wear and tear" ends. Our PRO COVERAGE program offers you UPGRADED COVERAGE if your product ever fails!
Pro Coverage includes:
This cabinet is a staple, you can not go wrong unless you are in an acoustic band, in which case you will get fired for being too loud and taking up too much realestate. These cabinets sound great and that is why they are a familiar sight in many pro backlines. The cabinet is heavy, but worth the work. If you gig regular, the tolex WILL rip, black gaff tape or a razor and some black spray paint will get you straight, and from the audience, no one will know the difference. If you need a serious pro rock bass cabinet, this is THE cabinet.
I finally bought myself an SVT 8X10 and power it with an SVT3PRO amp. I tell you what, if you want all the power and clarity you'll ever need, this is the rig for you. I use an Ernie Ball Music Man Sterling HS bass through this monster and my band mates' jaws actually hit the floor. I have never before found such a quality sound in a bass amp. The only draw back I've found is that it can be a bit too much for smaller venues, so, to fix that, I went and got an SVT 4X10 cabinet. Either way you go, you CANNOT go wrong with Ampeg bass amps. They are EVERYTHING you've ever dreamed of, and more! Thanks to Dan Reed at the Bridgeton Guitar Center for working with me on it!
I have been playing the bass guitar for over 40 yrs and have seen many amp/cabinets come and go. Some didn't disappear quickly enough while some should still be with us (where, oh where are you my missing SUNN???). History does have one constant that always seems to turn out right. That constant is that the "best" always survives the test of time. This cabinet, the AMPEG 8X10HE, is one of those survivors. It, along with the SVT 300 watt amp head, are the most recorded amp/cab pair on this planet! How can so many musicians over a period of 50 yrs be wrong? Answer, they're not! I have lusted after this cabinet since it went into production. Now that I am playing through it I can't believe that I didn't get it decades ago. THIS THING ROCKS. One drawback. Now, as my 60th B-day approachs in a few yrs this cabinet seems to be putting on weight faster than its owner! So, if you don't mind getting your workout just moving this monster from studio to gig and back then this is the top of the food chain. Once you have it you can't trade or buy "up" any more....YOU HAVE ARRIVED. BTW, if you are wondering if your 3 or 4--15" speakers are louder than this..., think again. Do the math. It takes SIX... as in 6.. 15" speakers to match the 8x10HE in the ability to move air... or 4--18" speakers. Plug in and let's ROCK!!!
