That Schroeder 1210 PL always intrigued me. In fact many of the Schroeder cabs intrigued me as I thought they had some pretty cool ideas. I would love to hear what a 12/10 4ohm cab could put out with some good wattage fed into it......
I've got a 1210 PL, 4 ohm. Running through a Genz Benz Shuttle 9.0. Extremely loud and light. Colored though, I do boost the low end on the Genz head to compensate. The Shuttle is a class D head rated at 900 watts, and the rating is accurate. I spent years toting a 1000 watt power amp on my rig and am familiar with what that much headroom should sound like. Doesn't mean I used all the wattage, but headroom without struggle is the key, IMO.
For comparison, I also have the matching Genz Benz NeoX 2x12 cab which is very clean and articulate. Simply no color in that Benz cab. The Benz cab is rated at 600 watts, while the Schroader is rated at 700.
That being said, over the past year I've used the Schroader for 90% of my gigs, due to the portability and the tone compensation that I can dial in on the Shuttle. I assume you could do the same on most any head.
At no gig have I ever thought that I miss the Genz cab for lack of volume or punch using the Schroader.
The Genz is the better cab though, and I would use it if I had someone to haul it. Even though the weight difference is around 10 lb's. The Schroader is that good. I also used the Schroader on the last album I tracked.

VR and 810
GK M800 and Berg NV610
GK MB115
Genz STM-900 and 212 Neo
B100R
Fender Rumble 100
The Genz rig gets the most use because it fits in the trunk of my Corolla and covers just about any gig.

Stereo MarkBass setup is my main rig...the rest is fluff.
Do you run your pickups separately into each head or do you just split the signal from the bass into each head?
Separately. I wired the bass shown stereo. Also have a Ric 4001.
I have played through that Quilter rig.. not the exact one of course but one like it.. and it was nice.. That was what made me want to get a BBC. That Cab is the TRUTH as far as I am concered.
It is nice.. Very transparent though..
I have never needed both cabs... I used to have an SL900 which I wound up selling partly to get the BBC ... One thing I like about the Magellan is that it can run a single 8ohm, a single 4ohm or both an 8ohm and a 4ohm cab so with this head I have the best of both worlds so to speak.. I doubt I would ever need to run both cabs.. I have run both cabs just to see how it sounded.. but not at a gig.. The 4ohm BBC is a one stop cab.. Fantastic to my ears.. That is a Tank 1012. The Glasstone is a Lil 'G .. a 212. I stack them that way at home to save space but so far it has been one or the other.

Now I just need another Prodigy.
Got my two Ashdown amps. I've used Ashdown ever since I started playing with bands.
The first is a MAG300 and a 410T DEEP Cab. It's my go-to. Since most venues have us either not bringing our own gear, using their backline, or having very little storage space, I also picked up a AAA-300 combo. Stacked 'em for the photo.
I really love my MAG300. That's in my practice space. The AAA-300 2x10 was so I'd have something consistent at home that I could also use for smaller shows and possibly recording, but I was actually pretty disappointed with it. To my ears, it just sounds very bland. There's the whole apptek thing, but I didn't want to spend $3 per effect and amp to try out different digital tones for an amp I just spent a small chunk of change on.
EDIT: I actually did guy 2 or 3 of the Apptek amps. Cost $3 each. For whatever reason, the blend knob doesn't work so well. Really just a pain, and it seems like it's all commensurate with the volume knob.
I picked up a Sansamp DI to hopefully breathe a little more life into it.

Ex owner of my amp was actually using it
as a scratch pole for his cats...
Just picked up the WD-800 Thursday. It’s nice.
I actually managed to cut back on bass rig related stuff.
I own two cabinets now, a barefaced Super Compact and a Super Midget.
The heads I use them with are an Ampeg PF-50T, an Aguilar TH500 and a GSS Baby Sumo Poweramp.
I do happen to still own an old Peavey Mark IV head that I never bothered to sell. It's gathering dust in one of the rehearsal spaces.
I could say I'm quite happy with these choices. The two cabs with one of the class D amps get louder than I ever need and the total weight of the rig is below 20kgs.
The Ampeg with one of the cabs is my go-to rig whenever I can get away with a single 12 and 50 watts.

I hear nothing but good about the Subway cabs. I bet it sounds and feels good to have them at ear and torso level!

Having your sound up high is the move!

I can hear myself so much better without over-powering the PA or the stage volume. Fun anatomy lesson; ears are located on the sides of the cranium - not at the ankles.
I love having my cabinets elevated. In addition to running at a lower power setting I can still feel my lungs moving in my chest.
Insofar as the Subway cabinets are concerned they are the best sound I have ever had. I get compliments at every gig from other musicians and audience members. I love them. Lightweight, powerful, clear, punch like a battering ram, and tone for days. Expensive but worth every penny.
