Question about small cabinet with 5 string

Mesa Walkabout Scout 1-15 - Sounds great. Fat warm and round but will clear up nicely as well. My favorite tone cab.

Euponic Audio 2-10 - More of a mid heavy tone out of the box but it will get beefy too. Not nearly as light as the Walkabout but compact enough. LOUD!

I only play 5 string basses.

A fEARful 12/6 would be worth looking into.

Last night I was playing a Dingwall Combustion through a single 12/6. I dropped a sustained C-bomb at the end of a song. The drummer's reaction was "Wow"!; the guitar player's was "Holy ****!"

Moral of the story is: Don't be afraid of (well designed) small cabinets as long you have enough power to push the lows through them

I would suggest a MAS46. A small but potent cab! It packs a wallop !

It's amazing what those little cabs can put out.

Thank you everyone. I have some cabs to try out.

Yeah-today is not yesterday. There are amazingly loud, articulate cabs that can handle significant power, weigh under 50 lbs and go very very low!

A fEARful 12/6 comes to mind. I have a D210XST and had a D210XLT. The XLT rolls off well before the low B, so I would not recommend it for 5-string. Both Eden cabinets are heavier than the 12/6, which does a much better job on the bottom octave

About the only thing one can say about smaller cabs is that they generally move less air than larger cabs.

What you can definitely say is that smaller cabs are less efficient (sensitive) at low frequencies than larger cabs.

The only thing one can "definitively" say about smaller cabs is that they are smaller.

12/6 cube, or two.

Rolling your own fEarful is huge bang for the buck, and the 12/6 with the alpha 6 mid stretches your Benjamins about as far as they can go.

Eye blurring lows!

Check out Andy's offerings at Acme Sound. I use the B2 but only in a pair stacked vertically. Andy also offers two differing models of a !x12 that might suit your purposes.
