That certainly qualifies, and looks great, too.
Surprisingly good full range sound, especially with my low B equipped basses. I lucked out when I found that cab.

My 2-8 LDS cab has a pretty amazing amount of bottom end, sounds great with my 5 stringers. That was the first cabinet (of several) that Don has built for me.
Dunno if this still qualifies as mini. Aguilar TH350 and Markbass NY 804.
Yup, those things are hockey pucks. I might add another NY 804 to it...

GK MBF800 into Baer ML112. Sounds MUCH bigger than it looks. Easy one trip load in/out.

These aren't stock curves--things move around!
My new Mesa Subway D-800 and one of these 27 lb. cabs works pretty well!

Wait, how does this song start again??
Not sure what features constitute a "mini rig of doom", but here are some of my smaller setups.. Pretty much anything that includes my Greenboy F112 is gonna move some serious air. Can't wait til I get cab no. 2 in!
Here's my "mini" MRoD... Carvin BX250 + Eden EX-112 + Earcandy Sovereign 1X12 which I use for practice with my Country band.

Latest iteration of my homemade 1/2 rack sized preamp and power amp modules, with first gen. AudioKinesis Thunderchild 112AF cab:
The next one'll be about the size of just the 700W power module box, but with nearly all the functionality of both boxes included.

This 16 lb 1x10 cab flips the size/volume ratio on its head - no pun intended

Nice, I have a Berg CN112 but have been looking at the Barefaced One 10 as significantly smaller.
Wow, I love these mini rigs but I do have a question. My current stage rig is a full 6 space rack wired up to an Aggie GS412 so my rig certainly doesnt go here so these things scare me. Can you really play a live setting with one of these mini heads and a 112 cab? Im not talking a huge club but a moderate sized club with other band members? Can you actually make a presence. Ive played clubs where my stage sound was all I had. No going to the board, no DI no mike.
I submit my new rig...
Edit: I know two cabs is borderline based on the criteria of one trip load-in, but the d800 and guitar are shoulder carries and I can carry a cab in each hand.

Very nice. The new Mesa gear is proving to be really popular here on TB. The cabs look really good, I saw they are about 30 lbs each?
