Are you interested in the DIY side or the fearless?
Speaker Hardware for one stop shopping to get your DIY fEarful project going.
These are great projects, fun to build, and you end up with a cab that you'll love.

I don't want to build it myself. I'm sure it would be fun but I just don't have the time right now Work full time and I'm on call most weeknights, band and family stuff on the weekends. I've heard of them over the years here on talkbass but never actually heard one in any way be it videos or anything until the bass whisperers video with the f112. was pretty impressed at how each instruments distinct characteristics were distinguishable. I definitely want something bigger than that, maybe 2 f112 cabs or a a 212/6 cab.
People don't tend to do a lot of videos of Greenboy cabs because you really need to be in the room to get it. It just doesn't translate over youtube. The best thing you could do is try to find someone who's got some Greenboy cabs in your vicinity and invite yourself over. All us owners love the opportunity to evangelize and demo our cabs. Even better, try to get to a gig where someone is using these cabs so you can hear them in context. That's when you'll REALLY get it. If you ever get to Minneapolis, you're officially invited to come over and try out my 12/6 12-sub stack.
Here's a map showing owners and authorized builders:

I also highly recommend getting over to the Greenboy forum and start a thread explaining what it is you need your new cabs to do for you and get some opinions. That's where the knowledge is (and that's also where Greenboy is).

I agree, a video, with camcorder sound recording, through your computer speaks, over the internet isn't going to be satisfying. Like a lot of stuff on the internet.
I'd heard about fEarfuls and Greenboy from my buddies, but never really given it headspace. It was just more blah, blah, blah, that smelled like beer. I had already built a pair of TL 606's with 3015's, and I was pretty happy with the results.
I heard my first fearful at a GTG back around 2009. We were comparing a bunch of cabs, of all shapes and sizes, (including my home built 606's) simply moving the speaker cord from cab to cab. The little 12/6 hiding in the back won me over. Not just by sounding better, but by sounding huge, deep and articulate, orders of magnitude better, in a smaller, lighter form. I sold my other cabs and built my first 15/6/1. My 12/6 gets all the action these days. I've got another 12/6 build starting up out in the garage. Huge bang for the buck.
There are some fEarfuls and fearless's showing up in the used ads, now and again. The authorized builders are doing great work.

I built a 15/6 that could probably hang with any 4x10 cab out there. Its a great size/shape also.
Agree on video sound doesn't convey that actual real life sound and performance.
But the measurements do, and unlike many bass cabinets the Greenboy cabs have actual modeling and real measurements. Other cab makers aren't going to give you measurements because the can't compare. They can't do any better on baffle designs than Greenboy with the same drivers or even similar drivers. They can't build better bracing than what he specifies.
You can take that to the bank over just hearing any cab on youtube.
