This is an 8-ohm, single-12" speaker cabinet. It's fairly large for a single 12, but is still pretty light at 37 pounds, due to the neodymium speaker magnet. It reminds me, sizewise, of a compact 15" cab, actually, rather than a 12. It has dual ports running vertically up the outside edges of the cabinet.
Sound Quality
:
10
This is really an amazing cabinet, especially for a single 12. It's remarkably full, with great bass response, and a nice bit of mid emphasis without it being too overpowering, and without it unbalancing the sound at all. I said above that the size reminds me of a compact 15" cab. The sound does too, a little ... it has the depth of tone that I used to associate with 15's, but the tone is still crisp and well-defined, without any mud at all. It's probably the best sounding single-driver cabinet I've ever played through.
Reliability
:
No Opinion
Haven't had it long enough to judge. Seems like solid gear, and Genz Benz has a good reputation for reliability, but I can't personally say.
Customer Support
:
No Opinion
I've not had to deal with any support issues. Genz Benz has a stellar reputation for customer service, but I can't personally rate this category.
Overall Rating

10
I've played for around 20 years, and play a variety of styles and instruments, from duo and trio gigs on upright, to fretted and fretless 6 string electrics in a fusion trio. As I said above, this cab is the best single driver cab I've ever played through. For comparison with other 112 cabs, I've owned the Eden D112XLT and the Euphonic Audio Wizzy 12 (that one is my second favorite cab). Others I've played but not owned are several Bergantino 12's and the Epifani UL12. The Neox112t really is the best overall one out of all of these, in my opinion and from my experience.
