I saw this cab on the Warwick website and knew that the combination of speakers and the layout would fit me perfectly. I already owned a Warwick Corvette Standard 5 String and saw how well made Warwick products are. This cabinet is no exception.
Sound Quality
:
10
Like is said, i use a Warwick Corvette 5 String running through a Mesa Boogie M-Pulse 600. Its sounds great, this cab can really handle any type of playing and really covers all ground as far as sound goes. With the 2 10s and HF horn your highs are nice and crisp and the 2 15's setup in a bandpass are more than enough to shake everything around for miles. This cab can be setup in fullrange or bi-amped mode and is very easy to do in both. The cab even came with 2 speakon cables whice are the only way to connect it. I love the sound i can get out of this cab and i have even recorded with it running a speaker to the highs, the lows, and directly and it turned great.
Reliability

The bass actually rattled out some screws in the back after using it for about 8 months. No big deal, i replaced them with bigger, tighter fitting screws and havent had a problem since. The only problem that i really have with this cab is it weighs a ton (130 lbs). And that can make your back pretty unreliable if you try to lift it yourself. But hey i gig without a backup all the time, and i've been playing with it on a regular basis for well over a year now. Great bass cab.
Customer Support

To be honest with you, i dont really know anything about the warranty, if there is one or not. Nor do i care. I trust Warwick and their customer support as they are very kind and very dependable. I bought my bass used off of Ebay and when i went to the music shop to buy wax for it, Warwick hooked me up for free even though i bought it used.
Overall Rating

I've been playing bass for almost 5 years now. I play all types of music, and currently have been playing in a local rock band for over 2 years now. I'm 19 right now and i've spent more money on bass equipment than i paid for my car. I love music and its an expensive hobby, this cabinet shows that. It lists for $1378 and after everything was said and done, i paid a little over $1000 for it. The price is well worth the quality and sound of this cabinet and if it somehow disappeared on me i would laugh at the poor fool who tried to carry it to their car to steal it from me but gave up because they gave themselves a hernia. Its not going anywhere. However I would replace this cab with another Terminator if i had to and after owning one for so long and trying everything else on the market, i think i have finally found the perfect bass cabinet. I love everything about this thing except the weight. From the sound to the looks, to the quality, everything about this cabinet was well worth the time i spent working to be able to afford it. I would recommend this cabinet to anyone who is serious about playing bass and i know everyone else who owns one loves theirs just as much as i love mine.
