"this amp that ive owned for 2 years is a great adition to my setup and it would be for u too"

Feature:
i wish it had a head like a half stack

Quality:
this is a very relable object it has various features but it can go through alot

Value:
its worth it

Desirability:
its great its light and it goes great where ever you set it up and the fact that u can see through the frontand esaily acess it wich i have never had to do

Sound:
i play funk/rock and it sounds great i play with a ibanez iceman and the combination is unbeliveable

Support:
i didnt really have any problems with it but i did replce the lights/my choice to a diferent color they heklped me find the light and told me how to install them

Overall:
i expect to be satisfied for a while until i start playing in front of peoplethen i might searh for another caouse it will probably be hard to find one better couse it satisfied all my musical needs

"Hartke 4.5XL Kicks Butt"

Feature:
4-10's and a tweeter...what else can you add.

Quality:
Very solid piece of equipment. Too heavy though...needs casters.

Value:
Not a cheap price...but compared to SWR, Berg, and some of the others still a good value.

Desirability:
Hartke has a look all its own. Easily recognizeable.

Sound:
Great product. I have played it with American Jazz Standard, Musicman Stingray, Carvin LB75P, 72 Precision, Fender American Precision Deluxe, and with my Ampeg SVT4Pro Head it works great. Wide range of tones and will still carry my 5 string with a low B without another 15 or 18 cabinet. Love this thing...except pretty heavy...needs casters.

Support:
They have been very helpful in other matters, no issues with this speaker cab.

Overall:
Will use it as long as it lasts. Might add a 15" cab to go with it.

Hartke 4.5XL Customer Review

Quality:
cosmetic wise i would definitely of gone with tolex,for the covering.i dont know why so many cabs are going with carpet.tolex cleans and wipes easilly,with carpet you worry about that first spill of something etc etc etc i need not say more.other than that,this 4.5 is top draw,all the way.if i add more cabs in the future,the carpet will not stop me,im afraid hartke is the answer period..o by the way,casters.i added a set of heavy duty comercial 2in casters,they are a must

Value:
YES

Desirability:
the designers went all the way with this one.every aspect of the structure and apperence,are 100%EYE APPEALING.WHEN THERE IS A GROUP PLAYING ON A STAGE,IF THERE IS A HARTKE RIG PRESENT,YOU ARE DRAWN TO IT EMEDIETELY.HARTKE IS NOT HIDDEN AMONST THE EQUIPMENT ON STAGE.

Sound:
the answer to the sound quality is easy.buy a good quality head,and put some money in it,and the 4.5 hartke will do the rest period

Support:
N/a at this time

Overall:
PRICE AND QULITY ARE THE TWO MAIN REASONS FOR CHANGE OF EQUIPMENT.COMPETITION IS FEARCE IN THE MUSIC BUSINESS
