Thaks guys lots of interesting stuff to read here.

Actually I was concidering the BB410 allso, but then again it is just that much bigger than I can`t fit it in to my car.

Sad to say I passed a great deal of Mesa roadready 215 for same reason.. It`s price was high for me, but really low concidering the product.
The seller was professional bassplayer here in Finland (and allso in NY) and he said that "I understand, I've been in the same situation myself." when I talked about portability and my low funds. Very nice guy actually.
(went bit offthopic there)

And as for wattage ratings. Has enyone here in TB had a change to crank those Behringers with 500-600w?? Some one wrote a review about BB210 (seemed good) here, but it doesn`t say what volumes he was driving the thing...
 
Sorry you had to wade through all the misinformation. Good luck on your purchase.

no problem..

I still have to ask one thing about those alucabs..
At the review section BA115 is rated 9.5, and gotten a lot of praise from its owners.
Robear22 seemed to like hes a lot.. How are they handling now? Are the cones still where they should?

And some one said here that the cone breaking is not issue anymore becoase the new clue they use in cones?? Is that some fact or just quessing? I like the sound of alucones, but I don`t want my speakers broke of in the middle of session.

And other thing.. when I look older threads 210 vs 115 allmost everytime 115 wins.. but here the 210 seems superior.. any thoughts why it is so??

thanks

I said that about the glue. I heard it from one of the techs at Behringer with whom I was speaking about another problem I was having with another Behringer product. Before one gets excited, it was MY problem. I was using a balanced cable where I should've used a regular TS cable. Anyhow, I asked the guy about the aluminum-coned speakers. He acknowledged the problem, and explained what the cause was, and that there should no longer be a problem. That was about 2 years ago or so. And.....I have not seen any threads about this for the past several months. So, I am apt to believe that this is an EX problem.
 
Ok that`s cool..

Maby I should go with aluminium afterall.. the sound is just so clear and crispy.. There is still the thermall issue.. cold weather and all.. but:
If I blow them in three years there is that warranty, and if I don`t that is even better..
And if I run 600w cab with 500w poweramp I should be safe.. right?
that is only 500w program to 600w RMS cab.. Isn`t the RMS handling like half of program.. like 300wRMS/600wProgram/1200wPeak atleast in PA-speakers..
 
ive owned and gig'd a Hetarke 1/15 tp now for the past 2 year bourt from Thomann and i carn't complain had no issues useing the Hetarke 250 head and did add another 1/15 to add full power , and weather its funk or metal/rock its cut through any guitarists sound or the best snare and other bassits ive playd with love it .:)
