People are trying to help you out with their thoughts and ideas. If you don't like them, don't do them. If you are upset by other people's comments, perhaps you shouldn't post a question.
Now, my 2 cents worth... Being a bass player and owning a sedan is not in the "good idea" column. My unwanted opinion is admit you bought the wrong vehicle and buy a different one. SUVs and pickups work well.

Again, for the ones that are lacking reading comprehension skills...I'm asking a question about cabinets. Not "what type of vehicle should I own?".

Superb idea...buying another new vehicle and losing my butt on it is a much better idea than spending $3-600 a new bass cabinet that fits in the trunk. GENIUS! How did I ever miss that?

The car is out of necessity. I got it before I picked up this gig. I wasn't and I'm not a full time musician and my other job pretty much requires me having a car because I drive too much. If anyone else has any further questions I'll make sure and clear those up too.

And thank you to those of you who are actually commenting on my question. Not my choice of transportation. I can't for the life of me figure out why some folks can't stay on topic.

Not sure as I don't know your volume requirements. I can say that I always run 2 RS210 cabs together and have more than enough volume without having to push my amps plus I run them vertical to get them up close to my ears. 1 may work for you, but if you are not sure then 1 RS212 should be fine as it comes very close to 410 type volume. I auditioned many cabs when I finally pulled the trigger on them. They are really great cabs that don't sound muddy or scooped.

This is the kind of advice I'm looking for. Thank you. I have a 4x10 I can always use for a larger gig and can use my dad's truck since I have to store things there, I just want something for the smaller bars so I don't have to make an unnecessary trip there. I don't THINK it's gonna be crazy loud or anything, but I don't wanna be left with my pants down either ha

I use the RS210 and the RS112. It gives me a lot of versatility using one or other separately or both together. The 210 on its own will handle most small club/bar gigs and both together are more than enough for any gigs I do. Small footprint on stage and it all fits nicely in the trunk of a Honda Insight.

Talk about reading comprehension. See if you can find a dictionary and look up the word sarcasm. Again you are pointing out what a grouch you are. So, if you have any reasonable questions, please post them.
I suggest you find cabs you like and stick them in your trunk.

Great! Thanks for the info. Again, exactly the type of advice I'm looking for.

Edit: Forgot to mention that the TC Electronic K212 and K210 cabs are also a little cheaper and also sound really good. They use LaVoce speakers where the RS cabs use Eminence. I own both the K212's and the RS210's and switch them out all the time. And I use both sets way more than my GK NEO 410 which is also a very good cab. Hope this helps.

I think the K series cabs are direction I'm heading considering the price. A lot of people seem to have good things to say! Thanks for the input.

Going to be picking up a new gig soon. Blues/Rock/Pop stuff. I'm not entirely sure how loud it'll be to be honest, but regardless I need a new cab (or two). I recently got a new Honda Accord sedan and my Aggie DB212 won't fit in the trunk and I'm not about to shove it in the back seat. I've been looking at some smaller 112 cabs and just wanted some opinions. I have a TH500 so I'm set in the head department, but I need a great 112 for not a lot of cash. So the Aggies are kinda out right now...though I may sell my DB212 for some extra cash.

I've been looking at the Ampeg, GK Neo, Hartke, and that's about the extent of my price range. I want versatile and something that can hang in a bar without any PA support.

That would be a problem. Cabs have to be able to fit in the gig-mobile, right?

I suppose the main issue with the DB212 is the depth. And, most unfortunately, for your specified cabs, the GK Neo212 is only about 1/2" less deep.

Honda Accord trunks are generally pretty giggable for a bass player. I hauled around a Berg NV610 for some years in my 2007, which is still going strong, and now have been fitting two Berg AE212's in there for bigger gigs.

Have you considered used cabs here on TB? That might put some of the more svelte cabs in your wheelhouse.

+1 with those recommending "two" 210 cabinets stacked as a vertical 410.

I've been gigging two 210 Neo cabinets stacked vertically for 9+ years.
There my only cabinets.
They've been gigged on BIG stages, small stages, bars, pubs, animal clubs, ect., ect.
I've used one cabinet for rehearsals, drummer less jobs, very small gigs with FOH.

My ears REALLY like the vertical set-up....
