So I ordered one of these a while back to use as an extension cab with my 2x10 Ampeg BA210 V2 Combo. I've been hooked ever since. So much that I ordered another one along with the Hartke LH500 head and sold the combo. So now I'm running two hydrive 12s and the Hartke head and the tone just floors me. I fished through some chats on talkbass before hooking everything up so I knew exactly what to expect regarding the head. Once I got it dialed in, I had thar rig really singing. Hartke says the LH500 head was made for the Hydrive Cabs and I believe it. I've been gigging for years as a keyboardist, drummer and now bass player. These hydrive 12s are smaller, lightweight and still full of power. The switchable ohm settings (4 or 8) are the most genius thing ever in my book. So with one cab you can go 4 or 8 ohms. Both together, you can go 4 or 2 ohms. So you have practically unlimited options for heads. Only gripe would be the one handle placement. I think I would have preferred two side handles or 1 top handle. But oh well! No deal breaker. Get you a hydrive. You won't be disappointed. Especially if you buy it from American Musical. Take advantage of their awesome customer service, fast shipping and payment plans.

I needed lighter cabs, so in my research I came across these Hartke 12’s. I had one at first and this cab packs a punch. Switching between 4 and 8 ohm setting. Now I have two and the LX 5500 head. I’m ready for this summer!!!!!

Hartke High Drive 112 Home Run

Product Review
I bought this cabinet because I have owned a Hartke amp before and it was great. For me with my current amp head this works great because of the dual impedance switch. I can run on 4 ohm and if a get the second cab I can switch both to 8 ohm and still use the same head, if I ever add the second cab. If I don’t I can just use the one cab and I am good. Replacing an Eden 110 4 ohm cabinet.

I bought this to pair with a TX600 and I’m glad I did. There’s a lot of punch in this cab. Sweet highs and punchy lows.

I love this cabinet so much I ordered a second one. It has a low end that will handle 5 strings. The 4 and 8 ohm selector is great for getting full wattage of amp when using a single cabinet.

Back in the 80s when I first turned pro,all we had were big and heavy speakers. If the magnets weren't heavy they weren't any good. From the stage, you couldn't hear what you sounded like. The tone hadn't developed yet. You knew you were good when you felt the wind on your back from the speakers. With this Hartke HD112 I am getting great tone and it has plenty of muscle to get the job done. I am running a Ampeg PF500 with it and it sounds incredible, I am getting warmth and punch both. Its easy to carry and doesn't take up much space. Get one or two. They are smokin hot.

I have been playing gigs for 50 years. I'm not as enthused with huge amps and cabs as I used to be. The Hartke 112 is just what the doctor ordered. It sounds great and isn't a back killer. AMS was quick to ship as always.

I couldn’t believe the difference when i first played through this speaker. I went from a 100 watt combo to this beast and it is well worth the extra dough. Highly recommend

This little monster sounds magnificent. It cuts through the mix like a knife. I got the TX6000 head with the single HD112. Sounded great! It's a beast in it's own right, but when I put the two twelves together... all I been waiting for. Just can't go wrong with Hartke.

I had been searching for a smaller portable cabinet that could pair pair up nicely with my GK 200 MV combo amp/PA or any other amp under 200 watts at 4 or 8 ohms. Hartke came through perfectly. Beautiful rich clean tone throughout by bass. Cabinet built very well.
Carry handle well placed. Could not be happier. Added incentive...
AMS made the purchase comfortable to budget!

I searched for a couple of years to find a bass cabinet to give me the tone that I desired which was punchy but still has some serious low end and I found it with the Hartke Hydrive HD112. I didn’t like this company a few years backs because my opinion was bias based on the use of a combo amp. This is completely different. I’m currently running two Hydrive HD112 cabs 300 watts, with a GK MB 500 amp and I love it. I was sick of the back breaking cabinets that were difficult to carry around. This stuff is pretty darn good.
I was able to buy two cabs compared to the price of an Aguilar or Mesa Boogie cab. I just feel it’s worth it. I needed the cabs delivered quick and I didn’t have $800 bucks to spend right away so the 3 payment option came with 2 day shipping and I definitely got it in two days. I’m a really big customer service guy and simply put, i like when things are as advertised.
So this is only my 2nd purchase from AMS and both the product and the services were as described, and that’s exactly what we as consumers should expect when we spending our money!

So far I am very happy with the HD112. I played through this cabinet (paired with my Warwick LWA500 head) for 5 nights last week and I am very impressed at the tones that I can dial in with this setup. I will soon be ordering a second cabinet for a 2X12 rig when needed.
