Aguilar Tweed Stack

can you put a picture of that back of that setup im trying to figure out how you're wiring it! thanks
I agree with some other folks here...the OP's stack is absolutely one the finest looking rigs that I've ever laid eyes on. But my practical side is yelling in my ear about the well-meaning waitress or the drunk jammer that sets a sweaty drink down on that beautiful tweed. My inclination would be toward classic black. Tough decision, for sure. 
P.S. A few drink rings and smudge marks don't change the awesome tone, thankfully.

How did this rig work out for you? I just got my 112 in tweed this week and am loving it in practice, can't wait to gig with it. I'm looking to add some more Aguilar DB stuff to my arsenal.

Sorry, I missed the post the first time around. I've had a lot of things going on and I've been kind of skipping over the Amps threads.
All I can say is the rig is a killer. The cabs were awesome and they performed as well as expected. As I've mentioned, we only get to play out once or twice a year and our annual gig was in early July. We played July 1st at a bar in town and July 2nd at a local festival here in La Crosse called Riverfest. Two very different venues (one very small and the other very big), but both were a blast.
I debated not setting up my entire rig for the bar gig (I really didn't need it), but I figure I only get to set it up once a year, so what the heck. I never got my DB750 above 2 that night. Unfortunately I blew the transformer on my 750 on the second to last song of the night, so I didn't have it for our festival gig the next night.
I've posted a picture from each of the gigs (where you can see the rig). Since I didn't have my DB750 for the festival gig, I had to get a loaner head from my local guitar shop and the only thing they had on the floor that would handle 2 ohms was an Eden Metro. I used to have a Metro combo amp, and I really liked it, so I just used the power section of the Metro and powered the Aggie cabs with it. All I can say is it doesn't matter what head you use, the Aggie cabs still sound great. While I missed my DB750 head that night, the Metro certainly did the trick.
When I was setting up my amp for the festival gig the sound guy came over and told me that I had one of the coolest rigs he had ever seen.
Anyway, the cabs performed way above expectations and worked great for both venues....very clean and punchy at two very different volume levels and sound conditions. I just can't wait until next year...
How did that happen???
Also, do you (or anyone else who has it) feel like the Aggy head case is enough protection for head? I have one in Classic Black but I've been thinking of selling it in favor of a regular rack case...
And yes, you rig is awesome... I have half (DB750/DB212), but just out of greed I've been thinking about getting a DB410 - totally not necessary but man it would look sweet, haha.
I wish I knew why the transformer went. It certainly wasn't because I was overworking the amp. The repair guy said he rarely sees Aguilar stuff come in because they are built tough. Anyway, it should be ready next week and they are telling me it will probably be at least $300 for the repair....lucky me.
As far as protection for the head, I guess it would depend. Since I play so little, it works great for me. I'd like to have a cover for it (like they have for their amps) and the guys at Aguilar say they might add one to their line-up, but if they do, it probably wouldn't be out until late this year or early next year. I have also talked to a couple of custom cover manufacturers, and they said they could make one with no problem.
I have to be honest, if I was playing every weekend, I would probably have it in a different case, because I know what a beating things take....but that's just me.
A 410 with the 212 would be awesome. You certainly wouldn't have to worry about your guitar player drowning you out.
