It's hard not to be influenced by that kind of an endorsement

Official Barefaced Bass Cab Club

Just a curiosity question-- do any Four10 owners have a picture of the port(s)? This seems to be the only model that doesn't seem to have a photo of the bottom on the Barefaced website.
Just curious to see if it is a single, large port, like the Six10, or a pair of mid-size ports, like the Three10 and Eight10.

You Barefaced owners NEVER SELL YOUR CABINETS!!!
Is that advice or a complaint?
I think it's an unpleasant blend of jealousy and envy! lol
Lack of Barefaced cabs on the used market nudged my decision to buy Barefaced.
There was a brief period 18 months ago when there were multiple BF cabs in the classifieds. It worked out that I had saved sufficient gig $$ and the seller of a minty SuperTwin was traveling through and offered to deliver. Fate favors the gigging bassist 
I'm gonna stick with getting the Genzler NC212T to start with, as my tendency to overthink purchases is really starting to kick in! That does NOT mean there won't be a second "downsize" purchase in a couple years!
Just seen the announcement for Active One10s. Looks like 200w (150w into the internal speaker with an extension out for another cab) and mono or stereo options. A single input with a volume control.
It's no good on practical level for me when it comes to gigs. However, the idea of being able to carry one 17lb cab to practice, plug my board with a preamp pedal straight in and be ready to go, is very appealing.
I've got two very nice Barefaced cabs that do the job just fine, and a couple of heads that don't need replacing. Need to spend the next few days convincing the GAS side of my brain that £1k isn't a reasonable amount of money to make my life slightly easier in some circumstances. Sure is tempting though...

Is it a shared rehearsal space? If not, consider having one cab resident at rehearsal. I have 1 BB3 for gigs and leave my SWR 2x10 Goliath Jr. at the rehearsal space. 1) It's 33 years old and still slays with the replacement speakers that came with purchase and 2) it's about 65 pounds.
Yeah, the Activier2 is a sweet little box
Hope to get my small/medium size 310 box this month 
Sadly shared, we're in pretty infrequently and and we occasionally get bounced around between a couple of locations. It's also out of the way to pick up before pretty much all gigs we play as well.
There is always a cab there, so it's not the end of the world. I just find myself constantly tweaking EQ and turning the volume up more than usual whenever I go through the room cabs, and wishing I was using one of my own.
Is anybody gigging with two One10s...or with single Two10?
Is it loud enough? for your purposes...

My first Barefaced cab was a One10. It was loud enough for small indoor gigs.
I did struggle for outdoor gigs, I had to cut the low frequencies and raise the mids in order to hear myself.
I finally decided to buy a Super Compact (1x12) rather than a second One10, but I'm sure that two One10 would cover all my needs.
I always gig with One10T and a One10. Plenty loud and sounds terrific! You don't really need the tweeter.
