How are behringer cabs???

[Foamy]

I have owned them. They sound great. They are heavy as can be though.

Your guy's comments are freakin hilarious! But seriously, someone left a Behringer 410 cabinet at the studio where I use to rehearse, so I plugged my head in one day to try it out, and it wasn't too bad. What I liked most about it was that it was loud. But that may be due to the fact that my Avatar b410 is 8ohms, and the Behringer was 4ohms. So I liked the extra boost in volume. I got my cab in 8ohms because I was planning on expanding later. Now it's later and I still haven't expanded.

Yes, the Behringer had tiny little microscopic wheels. I guess it's better then no wheels.

Yeah i woudlnt buy Behringer either.

My first cab was a 4x10 of theres and 2 of the speakers blew after like 3 months, no other cab iv owned did that.

My main concern is that they're fragile. For the same price, I ended up buying a GK cab.

Positive point is, I once dropped it down a set of stairs, and played through it the same night with no problem.

Negative point is, I played through it with a broken foot.

You've done something that puts you in direct conflict with many here posting. You actually tried it - and you listened with your own ears. You didn't buy any hype or listen to others who simply bash inexpensive gear.
Anyone who has ever actually owned them, and had a problem with (for example) a blown driver, knows that Behringer also stands behind their gear and will send out replacement drivers. And we ALL know that there are blown drivers in darn near every brand. It's just a thing that happens.
Good job!

You say that they are "fragile", and follow up that you played it after you dropped it down the stairs.
Sounds not so fragile to me.

Nothing wrong with GK cabs either.

I agree with this. In addition, the earlier aluminum-coned drivers had a problem with the glue and had a lot of separations. They fixed that, and the newer ones no longer have that problem. But the paper cones do actually sound rather good - mellow and warm.

Never get the aluminum cones, only the paper cones. The aluminum ones sounded mega cheap but I own a paper BB115 and it sounds pretty good.

I've owned 2 Behringer products and both have crapped out on me within 2 months of VERY light use. I have a 210 bass cab and one of the speakers basically fell apart. Then I recently bought a Bass V-amp for jamming at home. After about the 5th time I'd used it (over a 2 month period) the headphone jack stopped working. So while Behringer doesn't sound awful, I will never purchase another product from them.

No, no. It's a GK cab I dropped. The Behringer one I tried was actually a combo. It had tons of nice features, really, but the sales guy tilted it back to plug the cable, and the EQ promptly died

Having used GK rigs for a very long time and for several years at a shot, I can say I have never had an issue with their cabs. I think many issues people have has more to do with the user than the rig. I had that confirmed by a number of years selling music equipment.

Ya, I don't get the shots at GK cabs. The more expensive ones are good cabs. GK isn't my thing but I've used them before and they seem really good to me.

Anyway, bottom line about Behringer, yes they do work, and yes they can be made to sound decent, and yes they do give young broke kids a better chance to afford gear, but it's strictly lower tier as far as quality. Even the ones who found something to like about them also found a lot of stuff they don't like about them.

I don't have a whole lot of history with them, but the ones that I have used have never had a great sound. Price certainly plays a role in their tone. I'd spend a little more and get an Avatar cabinet. They use custom Eminence speakers and they only weigh about 65 pounds or so. Check them out before purchasing a Behringer.

They are perfect cabs nothing wrong with them, if you are using them to anchor smaller boats (10ft - 30ft) I would get a 4-10 cab, for larger boats (30ft - up) I would recommend an 8-10.

Be sure to get the aluminum cone drivers for a rocky bottom. Plus I've heard good things about the 2x10 hooking up well in sand for smaller craft. Don't forget to run about 10+ times the depth for your anchor line.

I've heard rumors that they're coming out with a Danforth model next year.
