Mesa Subway 2x10” and the Barefaced Two10s

[uhuglue]

Hi everyone,

I’m looking for some insights and preferences regarding the Mesa Subway 2x10” and the Barefaced Two10s. I came across a similar thread from about 7 years ago on TalkBass, but I’m hoping to get updated opinions now that there’s likely more collective experience with these two cabs.

Has anyone here compared them directly or used both extensively? What are your thoughts on their tone and overall performance?
For context, I plan to pair one of these cabs with my Mesa Subway D-350, so I’d also love to hear if anyone has tried that specific combination.

Thanks in advance for sharing your thoughts and experiences; it’ll really help me decide!

I've got 2 of the Subway 210s and a TT800 and can hands down say these are some of the best cabs I've ever used.  They're punchy with plenty of low end, and very versatile. I was rehearsing with a loud rock band and just one of these kept up fine,  with the volume at 10 o clock. Also pretty light and easy to move about. Highly recommended, great bits of kit.

Thanks for sharing, bassace97! This reaffirms my decision to purchase it.
I've just ordered a Subway 1x12" last night and can't wait for it!
