One that'll handle 450+ watts.
You sure it's 450w into 8ohm and not 4 ohm?

Yup. The head is a SWR 750X. According to SWR:
425w @8ohms, 750w @4 ohms and 950w @2ohms

Re: School me on cabinets.
That’s a lot of power for a 2x10”. What about a 4x10”? A used Fender, SWR or Hartke would work well.

Re: School me on cabinets.
May have to go that route, tbh. I just wish there was a smaller solution than a 4x10.

Re: School me on cabinets.
If you're ok with DIY or a rather expensive pre-build cab, fEARful may be of interest to you. They're 2-way or 3-way boxes depending on whether you want a horn. They're also designed to allow the woofer to hit x-max, so the cabinet WILL NOT fart out no matter how much power / low end you hit it with. I found a 12/6 cube on craigslist here a few years ago and longcat has been using it with her SVT-3Pro ever since; that cabinet sounds a lot bigger than its size and it only weighs 35-40lbs. You'd be getting close to your power limits with a single 12, but the 15" version should handle that no problem. The only real downside is cost; you're looking at around $600 for a kit or $1100 for a pre-built box.
