I need a new bass git cab

Not sure which page to put this under so I put it here.
I currently have a SWR 210 cab with an Ampeg PF500 head. The little SWR is ok but I would like something lighter. This is mainly used for rehearsal and on stage personal monitor. Suggestions ? I play 5 string.

Thanks

W10 should be about 20 lbs. lighter.

Hadn't even thought of W10. Was thinking Jack or Omni. Will this do what my old SWR did as far as bottom etc.

In my opinion - no. An Omni or Jack would be my suggestion. A single Jack to start with some kick-back legs or an amp stand to lean it back like a monitor.

So a Jack 10. is the Deltalite II 2510 the premium driver, 8 ohm?

You are playing a Low B Bass......I'd go with the Jack 12 using a 3012HO.

2510 xmax - 4.2
2512 xmax - 4.9
3012 xmax - 6.2

The extra excursion is well worth it if you are going low and hitting it very hard.

Maximum SPL of the J12 is higher. In the intended usage for the W10, as a personal monitor, the additional output of the J12 compared to W10 wouldn't matter, so take that into consideration.
