Members lug Posted January 9, 2006 Members Share Posted January 9, 2006 Slightly scooped in the mids, great bottom end for it's size. Not much can touch it for the money. If you are looking for a standalone 4X10, look no further (unless you can find the TVX or TXF model). edit: One difference is that they run a true crossover, not just a lowpass filter to the horn, so you want to use some horn (adjustible) for top end definition.

Members FreestyleIntruder Posted January 9, 2006 Members Share Posted January 9, 2006 probably - im super happy with mine. scooped sound, HUGE low end, the HF unit is pretty hyperactive unless you turn it right down (almost off actually) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the highs I need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bassplayinguy Posted January 9, 2006 Members Share Posted January 9, 2006 They are big but are pretty nice, and really cheap. I had one for quite a while in High school Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Munkeyfish Posted January 9, 2006 Members Share Posted January 9, 2006 They are great cabs. I played through one for years and I finaly broke down abd got the Pro-410. WHOOOAA! it is the only cab I need. Heavy mother, but worth it. But the 410 TVX is great too....I've aways said it and will still stand by it, Peavey makes best stuff for the money and is as always built like a tank.

Members bgranger Posted January 9, 2006 Members Share Posted January 9, 2006 I've had mine over 10 years and it is still my main cab. Never had a problem being heard, good low end. Just keep the tweeter level no more than 12 o'clock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members whacker Posted January 9, 2006 Members Share Posted January 9, 2006 Although this isn't my current front-burner cab, I've enjoyed using a 410 TX over the last 10 years or so. Like others have said, there's a bit of a mid scoop in the sound. However, a while back, based on advice from a member of The Bottom Line forum, I modified the crossover very easily to make the 10" speakers full range, which took a lot of that scoop out. Basically it had to do with bypassing that part of the crossover (a large inductor) that blocked high frequencies from the 10" drivers (referred to generally as a low pass component). Early on I put permanent casters on it, and I've also experimented with altering the wiring of the 10" speakers to be able to run them as two separately powered pairs (both 4 ohm impedance loads), with two separate inputs, so I could run them with my old Hartke 7000 amp (which contains basically two 350 watt amps), which does not allow for running in "bridge" mode, and wowee, this setup really kicked after a mod like that! It's a perfectly usable cab. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basically it had to do with bypassing that part of the crossover (a large inductor) that blocked high frequencies from the 10" drivers (referred to generally as a low pass component). The main diff in sound of the TX and the newer TVX is that the crossover point between the speakers and the tweeter was moved higher and the ports were moved to the front. They use a real crossover (as opposed to a high pass filter to the tweeter) to get a flatter response. The downside is that if the tweeter goes, you loose some top end area you might want. Your method is probably a really good idea for those that want to crank the tweeter down. I have a TX and a TXF and you can definately hear the difference due to the moved crossover point.

Members Benjamin Posted January 10, 2006 Members Share Posted January 10, 2006 The only mod I could offer to this cab is probably a 5"/6" mid-high, if it is lacking in mids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Tag Posted January 10, 2006 Members Share Posted January 10, 2006 Slight hijack here... Why is Peavey stuff so frowned upon in the musician world? It's always seemed to be in the black sheep crowd to me, along with Crate, etc. A good example is this quote from Kim Deal: "EVERYBODY HATES MY PEAVEY AMP!" - KIM DEAL ( http://guitargeek.com/rigview/342/ ) That is mostly the consensus, although many musicians will also say they make solid gear...and their bass stuff seems great.

Members Benjamin Posted January 10, 2006 Members Share Posted January 10, 2006 Seems a good combination would be the Classic 400 and the 410 TVX, or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Estebum Posted January 10, 2006 Members Share Posted January 10, 2006 I know what you mean about the negative feelings towards Crate, but I've never caught that vibe about Peavey products. I think Peavey stuff is excellent. My friend bought one of those Peavey 4x10s and a Yorkville tube head; I went to check out their band practice the day he got it all paid off and brought home. As I was walking towards the shed I could hear massive bass; I was thinking "damn what is that, that sounds like him and his P-bass but he never had that much low end and balls".. sounds like a great cab to me.. if I can't put together the Sunn rig I want I would definitely go with Peavey to match all the Peavey basses and cables and guitar amps and P.A. monitors I have laying around:thu: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Phyrexian Posted January 10, 2006 Members Share Posted January 10, 2006 I use two stacked Peavey 410 TVX cabinets. I like 'm a lot but I must say that I've never used other cabinets. They sound deep, yet very articulate. I turned the tweeter down to zero... I don't miss them highs. I always ask myself if the Ampeg SVT810E would sound better for my purpose (I love vintage tones) but I doubt it would have more low-end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ToeJamFootball Posted January 10, 2006 Author Members Share Posted January 10, 2006 well i am worried about the top right driver. can anyone else see the mark at the top of it?? save it and zoom in, the image quality stays pretty clear. i have asked for a photo without the grill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members gazman Posted January 10, 2006 Members Share Posted January 10, 2006 Speakers looks fine. Peaveys are damn near impossible to break. But might wanna get another pic for the other forumites to look at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
