jimcroisdale Posted July 25, 2016 Posted July 25, 2016 Hiya all, Current rig - Streamliner 600 into Neox 212. Sorted for the last few years and no forum trawling needed - powerful, lightweight and nice sounding. Now I have a new (smaller) car and a new band that *generally* runs a large PA that I DI into. So, I want a *slightly* smaller cab. I think 2in smaller (front to back) than the Neox will mean it will fit in the boot of the Panda without having the seats down. Boom - childseat bonus. What are my deal breakers? I need fat bass in the small of my back. I need that fat sound that makes you play lightly, not hammer the strings. Tone, pah, that's the punter's problem :-) Neo speakers are a must too, unless the cab is made from Pink Wafer biscuits... Regards, Jim Quote
M@23 Posted July 25, 2016 Posted July 25, 2016 Pandas have boots now?! Ours is a 2006 and my 2x12 takes up the whole back seat. Are you looking to stay with a 2x12? Quote
discreet Posted July 25, 2016 Posted July 25, 2016 Weeellll.... The Barefaced Big Twin 2 is 14.6" deep compared to the 16.5" of the Neox... but it's 33.5" tall compared to 31"... http://barefacedbass.com/product-range/Big-Twin-2.htm Quote
jimcroisdale Posted July 25, 2016 Author Posted July 25, 2016 Well, you know, the boot space behind the rear seat when it's fully up. Although having said that, I might be thinking about my Renault Clio (it's been a long ass day)... Maybe 2x10.... :-) I will have to measure up properly - hang on... Quote

It's looking like a 2x10 I think - I dont know why anyone would try make a really small 2x12 with what we know nowadays about cab design? Quote

[/quote] Well I'll just leave this here... [url="http://barefacedbass.com/product-range/retro-two10.htm"]http://barefacedbass...retro-two10.htm[/url] But even this may still be too deep. And it may not suit you sound-wise. I have one myself, I like it a lot. Edited July 25, 2016 by discreet Quote

Like I said, for an optimal cab size for a 2x12 it would look silly if it was as slim as I need - I can understand why there aren't any... Are there any chunky 1x15's about these days? Cab on one side of the back seat, kiddy seat on the other? :-) Quote
