Thanks to Renaissance my custom 24.6 is finally in my hands! 
Only 14 months after ordering on it 2/09/09 with a promised 4-6 week delivery time.  
Of course, I still need to deal with the grill that Marc never produced, and the L-pad, which is in it's box from Parts Express, needs to be installed by me. But hey, at least I got it. From doing some initial playing with it using several of my basses I may not even need to install the L-pad as it seems balanced between the drivers; any advise on this?
The cab gets very loud but has a bit of a upper bass/lower mid hump, typical of Marc's cabinets (I have now sampled three of his products), maybe once the drivers are broken in things will improve.

I'm more than a little curious about your buying experience (the Readers' Digest version will suffice), particularly the L-pad? |

I've measured some of them and the tuning frequency and port dimensions are often quite odd. Either the tuning is very low or the port area is too small, etc.
I've got a 3080 I've been sitting on forever because of the limited port area and low flow grill causing issues. Good cab, but some design lacking that could have made it great.

It is a vertically aligned 2-12 with a 6 1/2 mid/high driver above them, narrow and tall front baffle, all FaitalPro drivers. Pics have already been posted elsewhere.

Good cab, but some design lacking that could have made it great. | Are you referring to port area or total volume of the port? I can try and measure it and the internal cab dimensions if that will help you figure out if it is correct.

Very nice, happy NGD! |

I assume his will have better/more correct porting in it. I want to compare the two cabs once I finally get it from Don, it will be vewwwyyyyyy intewesting, indeed.

Imvho I think a better way to port the V212/6 would be 2 rectangle ports on either side of the mid. |

Now, about getting that porting and tuning right...
