Ok, let's get the embarrassing stuff out of the way: A few years ago, I bought a Behringer BXL 1800A (180W) combo amp for my son.
I knew it was a mistake the minute I did it. I acted quickly & foolishly. I actually do love my son very much.
It didn't get all that much use, and I should have sold it when it was working.
Anyway, as you can all probably guess, the eventual rattling ensued, followed by the ceremonial speaker blow out.
This thing is no longer under any warranty, and Behringer tech support is not a viable option (the last thing I want to do is spend another $120 bucks to get the same piece of crap back).
Now, here's my question: Is there anything I can do with this thing? I'm no electronics wizard, but I should be able to put a decent speaker in there, correct?
The original is a 4 Ohm Bugera 12" aluminum cone. I was thinking that I could make it a decent keyboard amp or monitor, since it's wedge/tilt shaped.
I hate to throw away a ridiculously expensive (for what it is) amp without first asking you folks. If someone can tell me a decent match for a speaker, I'll give it a shot. I've included some specs below:
Instrument input ¼" TS
Input impedance 250 kOhm
CD input RCA
Input impedance 40 kOhm
FX INSERT RETURN ¼" TS
Input impedance 50 kOhm
Phones Out ¼" TRS stereo
Direct Out XLR
Output impedance 500 Ohm
Line Out ¼" TS
Output impedance 100 Ohm
FX INSERT SEND ¼" TS
Output impedance 2.2 kOhm
Power amp output 180 W @ 4 Ohm
Type 12" aluminum-cone
Impedance BUGERA™ Hard Attack Series
Model 4 Ohm
Power handling 120 W
Thanks,
Steve
