Was trying to find some good info on the Bogner Uberkab front loaded and it seems there is a ton of info on the original 8 ohm real loaded one but very little on the front loaded 16 ohm one. Anyone have any experience and how are they ?

I’ve heard the 8 and it was a beast. Seems like the mellower 8 would be to my taste as Celestions like rear loading as a general rule.
 
The Bogner FL cab still has the back screwed on like the rear load....so it's pretty much the same cab construction-wise (rather than a sealed back like Fryette). The only tonal difference would be due to the different mounting of the speakers. I would expect it to be tighter and more focused.

Not really my dude, and you touched on it with the Fryette cab.(regarding tightness), sealed back.
I would say the Uberkab is a bit more in your face.
Really nothing special.
I’d go with the standard 4X12, those kick enough ass.

That makes sense so it's like a Hybrid front loaded then...

I also got tired of waiting for another Fryette Fatbottom 4x12 to become available again and would of had to swap out those lame hollow sounding P50 E speakers anyway that come loaded in it so thought I might consider one of the Front loaded Uberkabs as a backup option.

I saw them available on the Fryette site a few weeks ago. Looks like they aren't anymore.

Not to highjack the thread, but this is pretty much my exact set up..........ARE YOU RUNNING THE STOCK SPEAKERS, OR SOME OTHER COMBINATION ?
 
OK, thanks.

I need to re-visit the stock speaker combination, with the Wizard. When I first acquired my Uber, I was still using a Cameron modded Marshall, and I changed the speakers out.

i have 4 Wizard 412 cabs. One all Redbacks, one Redback/v30, one Redback/Creamback H75 and one v30/Creamback H75. My favorite combination is probably the redback/Creamback mix, but all are great. I’d definitely recommend trying some Redbacks and Creamback H75s mixed together or with v30s. I’ve been through a lot of speakers and these are my favorites with my Wizards.

I had a (then VHT) FB cab with V30s and it slayed every other cab I owned. I got rolled when I bought it off CL, as the guy said it had the stock speakers, but it ended up having Sheffields. A buddy of mine just got a Peavey cab unloaded, and jumped on the Sheffields, and I dropped some Mesa V30s in it. That cab lived in my trailer and was on stage with me for every show I played for several years. In the end, I sold it to a buddy because I got sick of looking at it. It was beat to fuck and the wood was starting to splinter on it. Still the best sounding cab I've owned to date.

They were designed around original design V30’s (of which Mesas still are) and Steve had Eminence create the P50’s because Celestion changed the form. It’s no wonder that cab was special; it was fitted as designed.
 
I had both, both were great but the front loaded 16ohm was my favorite cab of all time, that is the one I would get
