You could always contact Bad Cat and see if they'd do a custom job for you if you're actually in the market to spend that kind of scrilla.

THAT is one hugely flawed design. Many other options (too many to list) could blow that thing away volume-wise and sound better doing it, while being much easier to haul around.
Though I'm sure there will be those that just have a need to prove their manhood by hauling heavy crap around just to say "Mine's bigger than yours".

If you buy it, despite the manufacturer's warning prominently displayed on the front...then hey, it's your money. Random mixing/matching of driver sizes/types rarely end up well. |

| | | | when i first started playing bass i saw these cabs and thought oh wow awesome,i was 17 at the time so i guess that explains it;P

I got my first look - and listen - at one about nine years ago, the first time I attended a Porcupine Tree concert. Steven Wilson uses a Bad Cat combo.
Interestingly, they are not super high-powered, compared with your usual Marshall or Mesa rigs. Most of 'em are in the range of 30-40 watts or so. They would seem to be designed for modern, knowledgeable players - who understand that if you really need more coverage, well that's what a PA system is for...
