Need HELP dont bash the name plz

Ok a ex bass player recently gave me his 4x10 cab its a behringer with the aluminum cone(yes i know), i already have a swr goliath ii but i wanted to test this sucker out ...so i ran a speaker cable from the amp to the cab and there was no sound at all and the input is a lil loose on the behringer cab, afterwards i ran the same cable to my swr and it worked fine .My question is how would i go about identifying the problem and is it a easy fix?? or should i buy a 25.00 speakon cable and try that instead, both the amp and cab has those connections as well

a cab is a cab- it goes bump in the night! (no judgement here)

Sounds like you may want to open up the back panel and see if anything is obviously disconnected or loose. It may be as simple as a few solder joints.

Best of luck and congrats on the cab.

Worst case scenario it'll make a nice stand for your Goliath II

(I used to run a Goliath II w a Peavey 410 tx and they got along just fine)

Pull off the panel that has the input jacks and check it out. While you're in there, check to make sure the wires are all connected properly at the speakers and/or with whatever passes for a crossover or filter in that cab.

just try another cable , i had the same problem with markbass cl 104 with combo speakon. my speakon did not work, i got neutrik and it was ok.

Like anything else, start eliminating issues. Check cable, check loose input on cab, open and start checking to see if wires are connected.

Will do thanks

there are two 1/4" inputs on the back of that cab. One is a speaker input, the other is for a footswitch that lets you turn the horn/tweeter in the cab on and off. Make sure you plugged into the correct one.

I verified that as well stil no sound

The question is then, are the speakers blown or the wiring faulty between the jack and the speakers. The power rating was handled in a much different way than most cabs/amps and relying on only 25% of the listed power input was/is the safest bet with most amps brands.

Would blown speakers just dont make any sound? U would think a blown speaker would still rattle or something but this cab don't produce any sound

Voice coils can burn out, meaning they blow open. Just like a burned out light bulb, once it burns out it will do nothing. Just one possibility. Also I believe they use series/parallel speaker wiring, two out of four speakers can fail and all four (even the two still good ones) will not work with this wiring type.

Ugh not good

Do we know yet if there is a problem at the input jack on the cab? First things first, then explore further.

Tomorrow im going to bust it open and see what I can find, i hope its nothing major

Before you go opening up ANYTHING, make sure the cab is unplugged from everything. Amps put out lethal power; you may want to be one with your music, but being one with the circuit making it is a really bad idea.

Hope you didn't get a junker and it's an easy fix. Behringer is notorious for lying about their amp ratings, making it easy to blow stuff up.

 

[ashtray]

Be careful not to damage your amp. Hopefully it is solid state. But even so, if the new cab's speakers are shorted out its possible to then fry your amp. Open her up (the cab, unplugged) and look for loose connections first. Have a 9V battery handy too and you can test if any speakers are "frozen".

If all the speakers are toast, you might still be able to buy some discount replacement speakers and have a working cab - though I'd suspect a loose connection or blown crossover first before assuming the speakers were toast.

No, the worst-case scenario is that he fixes it and uses it.

(Sorry, I wasn't supposed to "bash the name." I just couldn't help it.)

 

[brotondo]

The Behringer cabs are actually really nice construction quality wise, now's the perfect time to upgrade the speakers if one or more is blown. Ditch the carpeting in favor of some bedliner and you got a sweet custom cab.
