I was under the impression that the x6 loaded cabs actually go deeper, while the 10 and 12 cabs have higher output levels. I could be wrong, somebody correct me if that's the case

John, did you get your 12 yet? That thing is a hammer and what I think you'd want for rock.
The 26, 46, and 66 in the current lineup. The above description is supposedly accurate, though i only have exp. w/ the 26.
Okay, I didn't know they had a series name.
For my Ric, I felt it was too deep, if there is such a thing.
I dunno, maybe it wasn't deep enough if the 6.5 series are deeper.
Mike suggested the 66; but a pair of 46's, one for small gigs, and a stack for mondo gigs would be more versatile.
Or a 66 for most stuff, and a 66 + 46 for coliseums!
I just haven't been able to get to any GTG's or bass shows where these cool boutique cab and amp makers set up.

I can recommend some seismic retrofit design people out here in the San Andreas fault zone.
I could be wrong but the 46 goes stupid low and a man of much experience (sorry if I butcher his handle) gantboss bought two. I almost never haul out the 5'ver anymore since I play old school blues funk and rock, but the 46 times two would be more than adequate I believe. Mike can chime in if the tens go lower. Might not
Guilty as questioned above.
Pretty sure they will be run mostly in the horizontal configuration. Reason being I run through a rack head. Vertical gives a single cab a large Muffin Top, the rack is too heavy for double stacked cabs so would require additional floor space or a stand.
Cheers,
Steve
When I placed my order, Mike mentioned 2 x 4/6 would be crazy overkill and I kept my modular order of 2/6 and 4/6. I thought for the little extra money I might as well get two of the 4's, but I trust the Man in charge here. Don't have them yet (soon!)but I am happy I kept my order the same.
Just to let you know---Duratex shipped the custom orange color yesterday. Should have it Monday. Then it's just a couple of days to finish.

You could also try standing them in a vertical position side by side maybe with a slight cross-fire or toe-in with the rack split equally on top of both. It will give a different mid/HF presentation.
Dude. I had to register with Homeland Security to import my deadly (Dingwall) basses. You should be required to register this rig with the earthquake monitoring crew (USGS?).
However you configure it, protect your ears!
Yupperz, like the black and red ones you see, but sub the red out to a Buddhist Robe Orange
