230VAC, 50/60Hz~T2.5A SLO-BLO

....? i have no idea what it's telling me here lol sopmeone help me, anyways there is a medal plate on the back that gives model number serial number line and watts

Model: B-3158
Serial:.....
Line: 120 V~xx
Watts: 500

does anyone have an estimate on what i shold have paid for it lol so i know if i got a deal..... please e-mail me or post a [email protected]

The first data says you need a 5 amp slo-blo fuse for 110 volts and 2.5 amp slo-blo if it's run on 220 volts. (that should be T5A, not TSA as you wrote).

The second data says it was configured to run on 110 volts line voltage and it draws 500 watts of power from the wall receptacle.

thank you for clearing that part up, but does anyone have anestimate? or atleast some feedback on quality?

Don't know on estimate.

But it should be a large combo type amp. That one (B3158) is a biamped unit with 100W into a 15 and 50W into an 8.

Not bad, probably underpowered for its size.....but the biamping can make up for that a bit.

Do you have the whole thing? I sort of got the impression you might not have all of it.

I have one, paid used about 350-400 I believe. I have since changed the speakers, great amp although I may switch to the ba-210 soon.

 

[Fujibot]

cool, yes i do have it all, it is a free standing unit with the speakers and head built in, it's got wheels and **** lol, thank you fror the posting, how much would a new amp with this power sell now? like not used, or maybe even it when it was new lol i'm trying to sell it and i want to know what i can get for it...

 

[jellybass]

I would say what I paid for it if it is in slightly use condtion with a few blems. If it looks pristine maybe 500 at most.
