Genz Benz Focus 112: is it braced like a Barefaced?

Play both and see which one YOU like. If you don't like the Focus cabinet, then don't buy it. It's really quite simple.

 

I'm not clear what the question is.
Is the GB Focus cabinet braced? I'm pretty sure the answer is "yes".
How does the Kappalite 3012HO fit into this story? Were you planning on replacing the driver in one of these cabinets with the Kappalite, and if so, why?

 

If that's the case, the Focus cabinet is likely not tuned close enough for a 3012HO.

 

I think you would be better building a new fearful cab if that’s what you want

 

I doubt the cabinets tuning is close enough to gain much (if any) performance. I would sell it and buy something that's more suitable for your needs.

Agreed, or find something already built that can be tried before buying.

 

OP, if you read the threads on this forum, one theme will stand out: stuffing some random driver into a given cabinet is a recipe for failure. Cabinets are designed to work with a specific driver, at least the good ones are.
