you could ask Alex but i assume passive as in a membrane that physically reacts to waves created in the cab without any active elements to drive it..

Who's Gigging With A Single Barefaced One10?

Wondering how risky would be to pair an Epifani UL901 head (1000 w) with a single One 10. I love the Epifani head but I am just scared that it will too much.You know, it's hard to say. Both are very good with the One10. I thought I'd miss having the two mid controls of the MB200, but the single mid on the ELF seems well-centered, and honestly, I ran it flat last time out, any adjusting from the bass. Couldn't go wrong with either, but the MB200 is just so large
I have bought One10 several weeks ago. I have used it for several song writer/coffee shop gigs. It is able to carry the room with modest drummer...
I gig a single One10 paired with a Warwick Gnome every Sunday for a jazz brunch in a fairly large restaurant space. It has no problem carrying the room with plenty of headroom to spare. Best of all I can carry the entire rig including my upright in one trip. The One10 isn't the right cab for every gig but it does its thing very very well, I've been totally happy with it.
Whoops I misread the thread title, I have the One10T and do user the tweeter. It comes in handy for the upright, I usually don't use tweeters on electric bass.
I'm a One10 and Supertwin owner and i don't regret not having a tweeter in either cab. I find Barefaced cabs to be the flatest EQ i've ever experienced in a bass cab. Compared to my other bass cabs (mainly Ashdown) moving to Barefaced was like someone removing a wet blanket off my cab (even with no tweeter). The One10 (and Supertwin) has more than enough top end for me, coming from someone who likes lots of treble and plays with a pick for more attack/grind. My One10 is my "utility cab" - I've used it for bass, some keys and as a vocal monitor in a pinch, it's EQ is flat enough that it sounds pretty good in all these rolls. Can't say that about many bass cabs!
Yesterday evening, my One10 carried the room with a blues band (drums, 2 electric guitars and keyboard). The crowd was around 30 people. The bass player who attended the concert said the bass sounded great...
I must be related to Goldilocks; I hate schlepping too large of a cab almost as much as I hate being stuck with too little.
The beefy/tasty 1x10 concept has proven to be very relevant for me with all the wineries I play these days.
If anything happens to my trusty old Acme Low-B1, Barefaced is on my short list to try.
Some kind of extension or medium size standalone will probably stay in my arsenal until I am really old (and have really good hearing aids).

I used my BF One10 on a restaurant gig last night. I took both cabs but only needed one. This is my first such gig with this cab and, with my Aguilar TH500, the sound was amazingly good.
We didn't have a drummer on that gig. I'd have used both One10's or my Super Compact if he was there.
