Man! Looking at a stack of these highly portable "Bottom Line" cabs has me rethinking the otherwise growing feeling that a good 410 would be the better, more tone-full solution, perhaps. Two 112's seem like a smarter idea now that I'm in my 50's; and really for anyone willing to accept that two modern one-twelves are surprisingly, sufficiently powerful for certainly most club situations. Here's the thing: I am almost always struck by the 3-dimensional quality and 'effortlessness' (?) of several 410's I've heard, and in relatively small enclosures considering all that they put out. Many 410 models will still fit into the back seat of my '95 Chrysler. Might be nice to have a cab on casters for a change too as I've been lugging around 2 custom 15's for a while. I know...caster kits and carts are easy enough to come by....my cabs just sound boxy and uneven to me despite each being loaded with the popular and pricey Kappalite 4015 non LF. What if better enclosures are all I need to get "better sound". Happy Thanksgiving to all. Nice form factor, and nice pics!

Well friend, I can say that the 2-112's I use will put to shame most 410's. And at about 30 pounds each, (the mid driver adds about 2 pounds) it is a no brainer. (to me) I can say very little myself, but both Chef (staff reviewer for "Bass Gear Magazine") and J. Wolf (Staff reviewer for "Bass Musician Magazine") have agreed to to review this stack in the very near future. It is my hope that both will post their reviews both here on TB, and in their respective magazines. I am confident that the reviews will be positive.

After over two years of using what I believe to be the finest 2-112 stacks available today, I can only hope that other players will soon be able to add them to their herd. Until then, I am blessed to have them for myself.

Thanks Duke!!!

This is close to a quote of a sig I saw on a photography forum -

"I HAD a darkroom; now I have Photoshop...Photoshop smells better!"

As a long-time photog I can really relate to that.

Ya know Dan. I love my digital stuff. But I often miss my RB67, which evolved into an 645 pro, and then a 645AF as my vision got worse. Now, they are all gone. Does anyone out there have the keys to the time machine??!! :crying:

You all have lovely looking cabinets.

To those of you that are running the twin Aguilar 112s (which seems like the most popular set up), was there a sonic reason you chose this over a single 212? Aside from obvious advantages of the two cabs (instead of one big one), like being able to use only one, and easier transportation, are there acoustic differences that I should be focusing on when I chose two cabs versus one? Thanks!

As I already stated: Much improved horizontal dispersion; better off-axis frequency response... :eyebrow:

two 1x12 cabs, one one top of the other.

In one scenario they stack is 32 inches tall.

in the next scenario, each cab is rotated 90 degrees clockwise, and the stack is 48 inches tall.

aside from getting them closer to your head & ear, you are stating there will be in improvement in horiz dpisp and off axis freq response in one setup over the other?

Those are initially what I wanted but I ended up with the Aggie SL112's. Very happy with them but everytime I see a pair of AE112's I have to wonder "what if".

Well, I have had them for four years, now, and even with the addition of a Crazy 88 and a soon-to-arrive Thunderchild TC115 I have no intentions of letting them go. They are awesome cabs. :-)

Skimmed this thread and didn't see any BFM Jack 112's. Here's a pic of my recently built Jack 112 lites. One cab 3012HO woofer only, one with 6-piezo flat array. I push them with a Streamliner 900. Tweeterless cab is 30 lbs, the other one about 32 (most of the extra weight is in the crossover/HP/LP filter, not the piezos). Leland Crooks built the raw boxes and I finished them off. I've had many rigs over my 45 yr of gigging (the most absurd being 4 SVT 810's in the 60's :D). These cabs really cut it.
