I'd like a hinged door (with appropriate air-tight seals, of course) on the back of my Super Twin so I can put my Mesa D800, cables, and pedals in there. Then I can walk in with nothing but the cab in one hand and my bass in the other! Then again, the bracing might be in the way.
And a sandwich dispenser.

I'd like a One10, but with a 12" driver instead of the 10", and also a tweeter, and in a bigger box, and with a more modern, clear sound that's less colored. I wonder if Alex could build me a custom job like that.
Alex, methinks the 18x10 may become a shrewed business model for this bunch.
In all seriousness, I'd love it if my Super Twin had the tweeter of the Super Midget. That way I'd have the option of more top-end, but without the added size of the Big Twin. I asked Alex about doing that. He said that there was no space in the Super Twin for a tweeter, but just eyeballing the cab it sure seems like there would be.
I'm considering having a tweeter custom installed by a third party builder. Any opinions on that? Terrible idea? Something I'm not thinking of?

Yeah, don't forget the custom crossover. And be sure to add a fan for the heat!
Not for a 12", but the one10 is smaller. Not an issue, im covered with the BB2 and Crazy8

I can tell you the SM is petite and not much larger, for all practical purposes, than a One10. Its dimensions are a little bigger, and the weight is 6 pounds more, but IMO does a lot more than the One10 can (and its size is far smaller than a BB2-- almost 1/2 as Alex said). The Capability/size ratio is highest, IMO, with the SM among all Barefaced cabs. While the One10 is nice for those appropriate situations, anyone who thinks the 21 pound, small-guitar-amp-sized SM is, as a matter of routine, "too big," has a set of criteria that I cannot relate to.
Well, if it fits in a Super Midget it seems like it certainly would fit in a Super Twin. Lol, does the SM (or any cab ever) have a fan I haven't heard about?

Did I read somewhere in one of the posts on this thread, that a super midget / compact stack makes for a great rig?
Regarding the Super Midget...I'm in agreement that it has to be one of the best sounding cabs you can get. I used my BB2 last week for an upright gig and I noticed some strange overtones...the horn was causing it somehow...the room and sound system definitely affected it too...but the Super Midget would've been a better choice.

I wonder if Alex has ever considered a 3x10 vertical cab with his 10CR driver, or if that would even be a good idea? I wonder what the ohms of that cab would be?

On the other hand I guess you could just purchase a 210 and a 110 and stack them , and there she be.....
I don't get why people are discussing more cab options. Seams to me that Alex already offers more options than most other cab builders. Seams like he has everything covered or explained as to why he choose not to build something (15")
At this point, it may be better to spend time/money evolving current models than to prototype New ones for production.
Edit: might be cool to do a limited edition run of white super twins though

I concur. One can get practically any configuration for any needs from BF offerings. No need to look for anything else. I am absolutely GAS-free regarding cabinets since I bought my One10 and SM a year ago.
I concur, BF has all the cab options necessary. I mean, c'mon, they've covered just about every level a modern bassist would need, right?I don't get why people are discussing more cab options.

But let's continue talking about that "sandwich option"!
Kinda surprised there's a 210/410/610/810 set. Seems a 210 & 410 could get you any of those configurations. Assuming no issues with Ohms.
