After 9 years with my amazing mg800 and loving it I just picked up a Kenetix. Just one rehearsal in and wow! What a head!
Does anybody have any eq go to settings as a starting reference. My first gig with it is a large stage outdoor fair with very minimal time for sound check. Im using my str and slt ba 12-3 for cabs.

I'm also using BA 12-3. I really like this setting: Boost, gain 2, volume 2, lean, bass 12, low mid 11-12, mid 10-11, High mid 1, High 1.
Chasing some advice, have recently acquired the neox-212t, have been keen to try one of these cabs for a long while. It seems to be a grand match for the SISMA - however, I’m struggling to tame the woofiness of the TH500. Don’t take the EQ settings on the Aguilar in the pic as the reason, at low play at home volumes this sounds pleasant but it is when I’ve pushed the amp at rehearsals/1x gig I took the TH, that I’ve attempted to cut bass and low mids but even with compression, it seems to have a this unpleasant woof to the note attack. Is it possible this pairing is just not meant to be? Does anyone else have experience with the TH500 and this cab? Thanks in advance!

Try using a high pass filter. It usually tames the ultra low woof with aplomb.
I should have mentioned I am also using a HPF via my HX stomp. However maybe I do need to be more aggressive with this
Start by setting the HPF at its lowest cutoff point (30-35Hz?). Gradually edge it up until the woof disappears and the bass sounds fat and sweet. Your ears will tell you the correct setting.
Another big room tonight. Three gigs in a row with the big rig and I’m so excited! Kinetix + 210 + 115. Mmmmmmmm.
I discovered the input “ boost” really makes the EQ more responsive, I keep it on and gain around 11-12 o’clock and preamp volume around 1 o’clock
My preferred EQ filter is Fat but then you need to say run bass as 11oclock and I keep low mids at 12 o’clock and mids around 2oclock and same for high mids. Treble around 1oclock
I play a Pbass and finger style this sounds lovely through my Magellan ULV 212 tweeter on half way ( 12 o clock )
So I bought this new Sire and it delivered Thursday.....took it to rehearsal that night and then the plan was to gig it Friday and Saturday night.....to everyones amazement Friday got rained out so it was on to last night. This bass through the Kinetix and 410 was hittin'! For some of our old school songs I rolled to the front pickup and rolled down the tone a little. It was rich and smooth bass all over the place. I love feeling that ebb and flow of the tube circuitry in this amp. This new bass worked great with the EQ flat and the switch on the 'fat' setting. I'll give it all another go this coming Friday and Saturday.....looking to see how it all works out with the country band.
I recently bought a Magellan 800+ and a Genzler Nu Classic 212t. Is it bad that I want to get a BA2-12-3 slt too??? I would save the 212t for bigger jobs.

Yes. You should. The difference in the cabs is something you need to experience in person. The BAs are pretty great.
