I have seen several references to the 66. Please explain. What is the 66 I keep hearing about?

It's actually a cabinet with two 15" LF drivers, a pair of 6" midrange drivers, a 1" tweeter. You know how this goes, though; we've all been acronymediated and nicknamed to death. It's a 1515/66/1 for short, "66" for even shorter, and a nudge and a wink if you're in the know.

LOL! I'm playing jazz at a Bay area corporate gig Friday - an upscale dinner for 100. My rig will be the F110 and a rack-mounted Monique powered by a Puma 900. I guarantee it will sound exactly the same as your "orgasmo fantasy" - and be way more powerful than required for this venue. In case you're wondering, the cab will be used in tilt-back mode and the rack will be next to it in vertical position.

I'm not talking about tone alone, but also absolute SPL.
I think I could play anywhere any bands around here normally play, including the occasional outdoor gathering with the aforementioned 2x F210 rig & cover what needed to be covered.
If the F210 is equal to a normal 410 then 2x F210 should equal a normal 810.
Plenty of SPL with total lack on strain on any component.

P.S.
Maybe jHawk can comment on the F212 vs F210 differences, if there are any.
One F212 might be better than dual F210 scenario.

You would not be able to run two F210's with the amp you mentioned. The F210's are 4 Ohm only, so you could not safely run two of them off of that class D mondule. You could run two power sections though.

For the price/size/performance I think two F112's would meet your needs better.

I have gigged the F112 and F115 many times and have some gigging experience with the. 3010LF, though not as much as the others. They all have subtly different strengths and characteristics, but I can't say I've found the 3012LF to be any 'quicker' sounding. Could be a terminology thing, but the mid drivers that are common to all 3 cabs (F112, F210, F115) would likely be most responsible for such a term. Personally, either the F115 or the F210 would work perfectly on 90% of my gigs lately. It's a real toss up as to which one you'd say is 'better' for your own needs. I have high hopes for the F212 as a 'just right' combo :)

Many TBers GAS about Greenboy cabs but will end up getting something much cheaper. I for one have many memories of my Dad always getting 2nd best or 3rd best, saying "It's just as good but cheaper." Well, nothing he bought was 'just as good'. Even if I'm going to play for fun I still want the best - I'm too old for anything else. I'm looking forward to building my 12/6 soon. Maybe add a second one so CL400Peavey won't be the only one here with that cool looking rig.

Actualy Wcriley has a double 12/6 stack too. His has the petina of good use to boot.

Yeah, that's why I said a pair of Minnie 800D.

Two F112 would be less expensive than two F210, but one F115 might come close enough to two F112 to cover what I need (just not certain about the dB difference).
Between two F112 and one F212, I'd probably go with the latter.
