Here's a whole lot of boom for $250 if you're in Austin. Probably not that great of a deal if you need it shipped far...
If the model listed is correct, this is a 2X10 sub. Not unusual for a GC employee to be confused when listing something. D10 indicates 2 10" speakers, E indicates ELF. Current model of this cab would be D10E-I for INFRA, the current name for their sub systems. Intended to be used with a Bag End integrator module, as I understand it basically an EQ designed for these cabs to produce ridiculous lows.
Without the integrator, the cab is pretty low-mid focused, lacking highs as it is a sub but also not putting out the lows it can achieve with the integrator. I have 2 that I run full range with another cab which provides highs as I like the sound.
I called on this one a while back. Its supposedly , a 212 cab that has had the speakers replaced with 10" guitar speakers. I'd steer way clear of this,....unless of course you have a couple of BE 12's laying around!
Here is a pleasant used GC story:
Used Fender 800 Pro bass head for $299 in Florida; I’m thinking something is very wrong.
Get a decent sales rep who says, “the amp worked when it came in and I tried it; it takes a special power cord that we have either mis-placed or lost and our tech can’t sam to find one.
I say, how can I buy an amp that can’t be verified as working before shipping?
He says, I don’t even see the amp in the store but cal the manager on Monday.
I research and instead of using the industry standard IEC C-13 cable, Fender decided to use a C-19 which is rated at a higher current rating although it is meant to be plugged into a 15 Amp receptacle. Geniuses
Turns out some big computers use this cord and Triplet makes a nice long one for $18.
I call GC back and say I’ll take the amp and find a power cord with the understanding that it can be returned locally if there is a problem for a full refund..
The guy wasn’t to charge me $35 shipping plus tax.
We settee on $310 delivered.
The amp weighs 35 lbs. and can easily be damaged if not packed well.
The amp is VERY well boxed and padded and works perfectly.
Every once in a while, they have really good gear at a great price!

Maybe 1 out of 5 orders I get is what they are supposed to be and functioning correctly, but at the prices I pay for things and their return policy it's worth the time. Occasionally there's even a bonus, like they say that there's no case and then it shows up in one.
That happened with my Warbeast guitar. The gal selling it said there was no case & it showed up in a coffin case big enough for a Warlock bass. It was HUGE!
I'm not even going to disclose how much used stuff I've had shipped to my house only to return it almost immediately.
GC is a 3 hour round trip for me though, so it's about $10 in gas money, not to mention the driving.

Got a coffin with a $50 guitar I bought, it's worth twice that, nice cases.
The one I had looked pretty good, but was flimsy in comparison to the ABS case I bought at the local pawn shop.
I was at the Richmond, Va guitar center last night and the had a Gold Tone Micro bass 23" scale fretted for $150.00 ! Killer price and it's in very good condition and I plugged it up and it seemed to have even volume for all the strings.
I should have bought it but I already have one.
