If running two cabs, why not use it in stereo with the built-in crossover? That's probably the ideal setup anyway, given the difference in cabs.
Anyone familiar with Mesa Powerhouse 4x10?

Because I'm not going to take two cabs to shows, and the differences in setup aren't easy to swap - I'd need to fiddle with the menu and use differently-wired cables every time, and I don't want the hassle. I'd be likely to forget something and either ruin a good show, if I'm not risking doing some damage by using the wrong cables.
And like I said, I'm not sure that one side of the amp on it's own is enough to meaningfully power one of the cabs at jam volumes.
I don't get why anyone wants to push me to use both cabs at the same time. Maybe I just don't want to. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

You seemed unsure if it was possible. I don't care what you do.

I'm sure it's possible, I'm just not sure it's a good idea. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
It doesn't sound like it's safe accordignhg to what your amp can handle. I was just curious if you'd try cranking both up for shits and giggles, that's all 
I'm guessing you'll be pretty happy with the Mesa!

It works out to a little under $400 US…. For a PH 410… I’m envious.

...I should have my 2x10 tomorrow! (Not hijacking the thread, just sharing in it!)

Sorry if I've been salty in this thread or other ones - it was a long weekend. The cab makes up so much of a bass sound, and I like Mesa stuff in general, so it's all good.

So, I did get that Subway 2x10...... then decided that I needed to upgrade from slaving my HyperLuminal and B7k to an old guitar amp to a proper DarkGlass Microtubes 900. The result is so grindy and so good. So much more clarity, detail, accuracy, and power on tap with a proper bass amp & cabinet!

Ooooh nice. That red covering looks fantastic.

I saw the 4x10 version of this in Melody Music in Bloomington, IN a few months ago. I got super excited about it since I have an EarCandy guitar cab with pretty similar Tolex and I know how rare custom Mesa finishes can be.
When I got word that they got a 2x10 version, I pretty much had to jump on it. Besides, I have been playing bass quite a bit more lately. I still have my six string & seven string guitars, but I am up to three five string basses. After hearing it, my wife said, "I didn't realize how much you really needed a bass amp." Validation!
