Slightly smaller than GB Neox 212t - what to buy?

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

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"...

Just been out and had a look. I reckon I need to lose 4" off the depth... 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?

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.

My (FS) Bagend D212 might work except not neo ... see specs in link

Too deep I think. 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? :-)

Can't think of any 15"s that are significantly louder than this and it'll definitely fit: http://barefacedbass.com/product-range/Super-Compact.htm
