kind of BMW pricing scheme. Of 96% of their customers, like beemers without a great stereo and leather, who wants one of these cabs without some wild grillcloth?

English isn't my first language you know.wait.... in the text is says "our closed back bass cabinet"
then in the "specs" below, it says "dual 4" flared ports"
well, which is it HT, sealed or ported ?
At least (personally) I can read fine that
"Our closed back bass cabinet is constructed with the same premium components as our Hard Truckers cabinets.
The 215 Hard truckers cabinets have got ports at the back, while the closed back cabinets don't
ok, not quite sure what you're getting at with your post as a reply to mine.
English is my first language and I'm pretty good at it if I do say so myself ...
OTOH, I am terrible at German
no one makes an open back bass cab that I am aware of, so the fact they call it a "closed back bass cabinet" is fairly meaningless.
they mention sealed cabinet in part of their text, and then in the specs list they show it has "2 4" flared ports"
in any event, I was just kind of poking gentle fun at the Hard Truckers marketing text. that's all.

If it was built in shop class it would have rounded corners and corner protectors.
I don't fully agree with that; it means to me they may make great cabinetry but don't fully understand what it is to make a bass cab as opposed to guitar or PA cab.
First thing I thought when I saw the photo '$1600 and no hardware corners'
In the late ‘70s I had a monster of a cab with 2 x JBL K140s if I recall correctly. That was a heavy sucker and I’m not going back to those days again. Wrestling it in and out of the back seat of my car was tricky. It sounded great though, but a little brighter than I prefer these days - too many years standing next to crash cymbals.
IDK how I feel about the drivers only mounted in 4 places, and not even through EV's mounting holes. It is probably secure; but if you're asking or spending that kind of coin, wouldn't a "definitely" be better than a "probably"?

Those clamps are plenty secure when installed correctly. They were used in the touring world for decades.
