Yes, it's kind of a 210 combo, but also two separate modular 110/6 cabs, amphead, cab stand, accessory box, dolly and hand cart all in one rig.
Some of you know I've been playing through a DIY 210/6 cab with a Carvin BX1200 amphead. I don't really play any gigs that requires tons of stage volume and I kind of got tired of dragging around my 47 lb. 210/6 so I'd considered splitting it up into two lighter and smaller 110/6 cabs. But I still needed to haul my amphead and cords and other accessories.
I looked at all the obstacles I encounter on most all my gigs.
Hauling my rig from my house to my truck and back in.
Unloading and hauling my rig to bars, meaning uneven or rough parking lots, curbs, steps, stages, etc.
Having to carry my amphead AND another case for all my accessories, cords and what-have-you in addition to my rig.
Getting my cab up off the floor and what to put it on or tilt it back.
Onstage, I move my rig around for the right placement on stage and sometimes need to move it afterwards to get behind it for some reason, so I always liked having it on wheels to move it easy. Having it on wheels also made it easy to roll it into a gig, but sometimes I would encounter obstacles like curbs or something that I couldn't easily wheel it over. So in that case a hand cart made more sense, but using a hand cart meant not using wheels as on my dolly.
Sometimes a gig required hauling it up steps (always going up and down steps just getting my rig to my truck or back in the house after) so having it all on a hand cart wasn't always easy either. I hate using bungie cords and it was a pain anyway because the amp head and accessory case was difficult to strap down...and carrying my 210/6 up and down stairs was a pain too.
No matter what gig I had, something was always an impediment in some way or another. So this setup is the result of taking care of my needs.
Everything in this rig is latched together to become it's own hand cart and can come apart as needed. The bottom is my accessory box but it also is a furniture dolly on four heavy duty wheels. It's also the bottom of the hand cart using the heavy duty wheels on the back of it.
Each cab is a 110/6 using BP102's and tuned to 49Hz mated with a 6" mid driver. Each 110/6 cab weighs only 22 lbs. and has only one handle on the side (with rubber feet on the other side to set down on).
The amphead is my Carvin BX1200 (bi-ampable with it's own crossover and output controls) but it's in a new case to match the cabs. The amphead case has a handle on the side for carrying as before, but also on top and when latched down to the cabs, it becomes the handle of the handcart.
Now no matter what I encounter I have everything covered. It's a 210/6+6 combo when the head and two cabs are latched together. Or simply a 110/6 combo for rehearsals. If I need to carry anything up or down stairs, it unlatches and no component weighs more than 22 lbs. (head and cabs being 22 lbs. each). I can wheel it around like on a dolly, and when I hit rough areas, curbs and such, I simply tilt it back into the handcart position.
Onstage I can wheel it into position, turn it around to hook everything up and turn it back around on it's wheels. The bottom is the cab stand to get my cabs off the floor to hear easier.
All in all, I love everything about it. It sounds as good as my old 210/6 rig but this is easier to manage. I still have to do a little bit of tweaking tonally as these 110/6 cabs are voiced slightly different, but not much.
