I own a new Behringer NX6000. It is "rated" for 3,000w x 2 @ 4-ohms. RMS (real) power is about 2,100w per channel. It will dim the lights at full tilt on household circuits...but, still a Class D. I am using it for my subwoofer cabinet...best amp I have ever used. And I am old.
So far this amp is doing a great job. I have used it on just bout all of my gigs since Nov 2011 and it has never let me down. I know some don't like Behringer products but this thing is working excellent for what I use it for. Some say its over rated but I am not pushing it to the max...it gives me plenty of head room on my subs just fine. My Zumba gig I did with 600+ in a 25,000 sq foot room I ran this amp very hard & it pushed my folded horns hard for 4hrs non stop without any clipping.
You are welcome. I know that lots of guys may not like this amp or some other Behringer amps and say it is over rated but when you think about it, it is not always about how much can it put out. Its how you hook up your gear, proper speaker placement etc. I know I will never push 2,000w or 3,000w to my 18"s subs because they will burn up. This amp is working great for my setup and has given me excellent results over the past 8 months. I have pushed this thing hard and it keeps going. Enjoy...
The amp is still kicking hard!!! Never had any issues over the past 1 year and 2 months. I know 3 DJs that DJ in my area with the same amp and they all love it.
Yes you can use a crossover for your subs with this NU3000 amp. The EP2000 has two 1/4 inputs and 2 XLR inputs. On the EP2000 you can plug your audio input to the 2 XLR inputs and use the 1/4 inputs as a "loop out" to feed another amp. I have done this plenty of times and Berhinger tech support said the inputs on the EP2000 are all in parallel for running multiple amps.
That is a good question but according to Berhinger tech support when I called them about this too...this amp does not have "loop out" connections for this. I wanted to do the same with this amp but instead I will use a "Y" XLR cable. That way I can plug this amp on 1 set of XLRs and 1 another amp on the 2nd set of XLRs. Then you can run 2 NU3000s.
@WorldsDeepestBass Thanks man!! You may want to go with the nu6000 but I think the nu3000 will push one 18" if its 4ohms in bridge mode just fine. You may want to look at the specs on both amps before you decide.
I bought this amp in November after watching this review and firestorm record's, and man!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I used this bridged on two Peavey 18' LowRiders in a boxes tuned to 35hz, and this thing is RIDICULOUS chest pounding cant breathe properly bass. Just ordered another and hopefully will get couple NU6000s later on.
Cool Man!! I would get another one if mine were ever to down lol This amp is still rocking after 2yrs of use!!! If you hook em up correctly and not over drive it and treat it with care in a case and not store it outside in a shed or trailer then they will always perform lol most electronics shouldn't be kept out in a extreme hot or freezing trailer like some people do. Only military rated electronics can be stored in harsh environments and perform day in and out. Glad you like it :)
yeah, I have all my gear in road cases for the protection, but here in Barbados lowest it gets its 21deg C lol. I have the limiters in my Ultra Drive set to stop it from clipping, trying to save the speaks and amps from damage and spending unnecessarily.
Yeah Thanks for the quick reply. Between you and the firestorm's Video I'm sold. Just looking to lighten my load without losing the power. Thanks again and keep doing the videos. They're really helpful.
Thanks I hope it helped you out. Still love this amp. Gig went well. I have pushed this amp for over 1 year without any problems. It runs my subs EXCELLENT!!!! I even pushed it very hard on my Zumba gig for 4hrs non stop. I know 7 DJs that have this same amp and they all love it. For what we use it for it is the best bang for the buck no questions asked.
ok just did and thank you for the links. and you have been the best help i ever have gotten on the internet. Once again Thank You for all ur help and time
@EntertainmentEnzo So far so good. I don't know why people are having problems with this amp. I used it this past Saturday and pushed it hard with my two 18" subs for about 6hrs without any problems at all. Just all clean sound & no clipping. Pulls so little electricity to run. I don't know if people just don't know how to hook up PA gear or how to adjust audio for proper sound output. I have no complaints with this amp.
On the iNuke amps you plug your audio into Channel A and your output you use is Channel A. I had to call tech support when I 1st got this amp and ask them the same question. The tech told me they just didn't print this info in the instructions. But he also said that all Behringer amps including the old heavy amps it's always been ChA used. Hope this helps.
My PV215 speakers I run them with the American Audio VLP1500 or sometimes I use my Berhinger EP2000. The PV215s do not have a lot of deep bass so I just use them as my tops for all mids and highs. I always run them with my two 18" subs to give me the bottom end bass. If you run the PV215s I would recommend you run a set of subs with them.
Thanks for the support!! When I ran the 215s on this amp I just kept the amp in stereo mode and didn't bridge it and it still pumped the 215s hard. Each 215 is 4ohms and if you bridge the amp it will be in 4ohms on 1 channel but two 215s in parallel will be 2ohms on the amp and I didn't want to try the amp on 2ohms lol So I kept the amp in stereo.
Actually in the manual if i remember correctly, it sais that the amp draws from the mains 350W at 1/8 rated power with 2 ohms load (again, if i remember correctly). That means that at full blast, this amp draws a lot more power than 350W.
Looks like I'm gonna go with the iNuke 6000, I'll let ya know how it goes when I get it going, thanks for the input, by the way behringer has a new 4 channel inuke series amp coming out that will run the 215's and subs all with the same amp.Looks awsome.
@Kilmer1111 Yes at 2 ohms it puts out 1500w to both channels. At 4 ohms it puts out 880w to both channels and you can bridge it and get 3000w at 4 ohms all on 1 channel. Others are now saying this amp can also put out 440w at 8 ohms to both channels but I have not tried it at 8 ohms yet.
I spoke with Behringer tech support and they stated that this amp will work fine on 8 ohms. They just didn't print the 8 ohm specs in the documentation.
I wish this amp had that option but it does not. To link this amp I have to use a "Y" XLR cable which comes out from my crossover or EQ. That way I can plug this amp on 1 set of XLRs and 1 another amp on the 2nd set of XLRs. Then you can run 2 amps from 1 input signal. I don't know why Behringer did not provide any loop out connections on this amp. But the Y XLR cable works fine for linking more than 1 amp.
@mikosuave808 I looked at a photo of the speakers you have and it should not matter what XLR plug you use on the speaker. The speaker has 2 1/4 jacks and 2 XLR jacks. You can use either 1/4 jacks or XLR jacks to plug up to. You only need 1 XLR plug on the speaker. The other plug can be used for parallel hookup to another speaker. With parallel hookup you will only need 1 speaker cable to the amp because both 8ohm speakers will drop down to one 4ohm load for the amp.
You will need to get a RCA to 1/4 connector or RCA to XLR. The RCA side connects to your Mixtrack and the 1/4 or XLR connect to the amp's side. But I would say to plug the mixtrak to a crossover or EQ then the crossover or EQ will plug to the amp. That way you can adjust your sound (Bass, mids, highs).
Nice presentation. I'm picking up a couple of these soon as replacements for blown conventional amps so these videos are helping to convince me... I will be using one of them to power up a pair of JBL M series speakers, 1x15 600watt driver. I was using a 500 watt per side amp which wasn't doing the job at all so hoping this will drive them harder. My only concern is that they look a little Hi-Fi stylie but they will be flight cased before they hit the road so shouldn't be too much of a prob.
Just an update. I ran the NU3000 tonight for about 8hrs at a party on one 18" subwoofer that is 8ohms. It performed great with this 1 speaker at 8ohms!! No clipping at all...just all clean sound. No heat build up at all. Not even warm to the touch. Of course I ran it without over driving anything LOL!
No prob about the questions cause that's how we all learn...It is very easy to set up the PV215s with the EP2000. Each speaker has a 1/4 jack on the back and as long as you have speaker cable that has 1/4 plugs on 1 end to plug to the speaker and the other end has banana plugs or speakon that can plug into the amp, you will be good to go.
Both amps will run the Peavey 215s without any problems. The Nu6000 will use less electricity and run quiet compared to the EP4000. But both amps will push the 215s with plenty of power to spare.
The boxes were built by a friend years ago and the drivers that I have in them are Siesmic Audio New Madrid 18" and they pound hard. I have the same drivers in my 2 folded horns.
@SuperErin21 You may want to have 2 amps to run all 4 speakers. 2 speakers hooked up in parallel on 1 amp bridged to 4 ohms and the other amp do the same. As far for your mixer output...you can just run L and R outputs of the mixer to both inputs of the amp.
@SuperErin21 With 4 speakers at 500w each and each is 8 ohm, if you were to hook all 4 up..ch1 with 2 speakers in parallel and ch2 with 2 speakers in parallel then that will give both channels on the amp a 4 ohm load. The amp will only put out 880w x 2 in stereo 4 ohm which I think is still less power than what you may need to drive all 4 speakers at once with only 1 amp. It may work but if you drive it hard it may not sound good.
This amp never gets hot. It barely got a tad bit warmer than room temp when I pushed it hard at my Zumba gig. I ran it for 5 hours non stop very hard and the amp was barely warm to the touch. Even the air from the cooling fan was just barely warm.
@nezff No not at all. The fan is very quiet compared to my EP2000. Now a few times I did crank the NU3000 hard on my 18" subs and the fan did rev up louder but it only spun up faster only when the bass hit and continued to hit for like 10 seconds non stop. But once the bass was lower or in between heavy bass notes, it spun down. Now this only happened when I pushed it VERY HARD to the point when my photos came down from my walls.
your a cool guy :) like the music choice too! I have a VLP1500 which I'm not very happy with as it isn't very good at driving subs - I was wondering if you would recommend the NU3000 or NU6000 for my 18 inch Fi BL (car audio) which I'm using for a home theatre/Hi-Fi system - the sub does around 1500w RMS so the amp needs some oomph - thanks :)
Just a few little things. The amp HAS to draw as many watts from the mains as it does provide to the speakers - Basic physics. It is however more efficient. The EP2000 may be around 60-70% efficient where as these should be 90% ish. Also behringer do rate this for 8ohm. Its 440w RMS x 2 (peak power means nothing) always use RMS. Ideally you want twice the rms amps of the rms on the speakers. Not sure what the issue with fans is, but at any gig I do you wont hear fans!
@SuperErin21 Yes you can connect both speakers to this amp in stereo (will give amp 8 ohm load) or parallel (will give amp 4 ohm load). You can blow your speakers if you don't manage your volume levels which goes for any amp. This amp should be able to drive 2 speakers @ 1000w each but I would hook them up in parallel if they are 4 ohms and bridge the amp to 4ohms with both speakers. That way the amp will put out more power to the set of speakers.
I am also interested in the comparison to the VLP 1500. I see the specifications, but the question is which amp are you happy with to run the subs. I think the VLP1500 has loud fans and if the iNuke is cooler, quieter and sounds as good then I would go that way. Thanks!
@kevinmcahill The amp which I am happy with running my subs now is the NU3000. The VLP1500 can't be bridged to run at 4 ohms, it can only be bridged and run at 8 ohms. I like running my subs in parallel which will give the amp a 4 ohm load. When I run my subs, I place them side by side so you can get the 3db of more sound from them. The VLP1500 is still a great amp and I still use it to run my PV215s.
So far so good!!! It pushes my 2 front firing 18"s in bridge mode at 4 ohms and I will push the hell out of my 2 folded horn 18"s in bridge mode at 4 ohms. Some don't like this amp because they all say it is over rated but for what I use it for it works excellent and I would get another one If I had to.
I read that same test result back in Oct 2011 just before I got this amp in Nov 2011. I agree with you..the price point and weight makes it a good purchase. Plus it really pushes my front firing 18 subs and my folded horn 18s very well. The past 7months this amp has given me excellent results. When I did my Zumba gig, the recording artist Dahrio Wonder said to me "man I go from state to state around the country and your bass is hittn hard & clean" that made me feel good about this amp :)
@TheGenehusky Have you had bad luck with this amp? So far I have used this amp on 3 gigs and it has worked flawlessly even on my two 18" subs when I pushed it hard for 3 hours at 4 ohms with heavy bass.
Thanks for your reviews, i have seen lots of them, the gobo projector, the PV215 speaker stands hack, the power supply, and i liked them a lot, please let me know if you have hooked up your PV215 one each chanel so it kicks them at 4 ohms in stereo? it´s supposed to be 880 watts and the Peaveys are 700 program 1400 Peak so it theoretically should drive them OK, the reason for my quesion is hat i just heard the PV215 driven by a QSC RMX1450a which is just about the same specs and they blew me away.
@mikosuave808 With 1 or 2 8ohm speakers you can just plug them in with the normal stereo diagram which is in the amps documentation. If you have 2 8ohm speakers and you want to bridge the amp to 4ohms, you will need to hook both speakers up in parallel and the amp will see a 4ohm load. Then just plug 1 speaker cable from the speakers to the amps bridged output plug.
I think you will be fine. As long as you get your PV215 speakers up a bit so they are not sitting on the floor...that way the sound from your tops will travel further in the room. If you sit the PV215s on the floor all of your sound will not travel because it will just go straight to the floor.
@deejaybustab Thank you so much for your reply I want to find out one last thing, More likely I will be in a situation with 4 speakers 500 watt each 8 ohms, How will I connect when then there are 2 outputs, Should I connect 2 others from speaker to speaker?? Is this connection in parallel and I got 4 ohms total resistance per channel, There are also 2 channel input should there come from my mixer left to one channel input and right to other channel input?
@jwolfmanc32 No prob man...Yeah this amp kicks out and is still hard to believe it is only 7 pounds! Makes you think its a DVD player or something when you go to pick it up LOL 1 note...At 2 ohms it draws 350w of electricity and at 4 ohms it only draws 170w of electricity. In the vid I said 300w at 4 ohms but at 4 ohms it is way less power draw. You could plug 2 or 3 in 1 circuit and still be way under 1,500w of electricity.
Hey DeeJaybustab I'm looking into purchasing Nu3000. And I was wondering when you bridge it is there a certain channel your supposed to plug into. Because I have been reading up on the Behringer website and the they don't show the bridging setup. I want to run a pair of subs on it.
For a question like that you may want to contact Behringer & ask tech support. All I know is that this amp is not in the same class as Pyle & the SMT components in this amp are totally different. From using this amp for over 1 year it has kicked my subs to death & on my Zumba gig all I got was complements on the bass from it. Even Recording Artist Dahrio Wonder couldn't believe how it put out since he works with big name brand amps while on tour with Gina & Tonya for all Zumba shows.
The PV215s are very good for mids and highs but the deep bass they do lack. They do produce a punchy bass but for the deep bass you will need a sub. I like my 215s because they are very loud for the mid-range and highs. I always run a sub whenever I use my 215s but yes the 215s are very loud.
You know I never really tested the built in crossover to see how it really sounds on low freq or high freq. I have always used an external crossover just because you can adjust things on the fly. I may have to test it out and see how it sounds. I would still say to get an external crossover just because you can adjust more things like freq cutoff and db gains. The internal may just have 1 freq where it cuts off for bass and the same for highs..
First of all. great reviews. I have a pair of SP2G's and am thinking about buying a NU3000 to power them. Have you powered your SP2G's with the NU3000....what are your thoughts? If you did, did you go one speaker per channel, bridged,etc? Any info would be great.Thanks
so does thr LED clip light up when the amp is being over powered or/and my speakers are being over powered? I'm just concerned because i have speakers that have a input capacity well below the output of these amps. So im concerned about 'blowing out my speakers' is there any form of protection to the speakers you could recomend or help clarify to me? I really appreciated your help on my last questions.
Hello and thanks for the video, I have a question about the built in crossover. have you tested just the crossover? I see you can do one side for tops and the other side for subs. I was just wondering how much does the built in crossover filter out or would there be need for a external crossover if i was to purchase @ of this amps. Thanks
Hopefully you are still around to answer this.... I have 2 Dayton bass speakers that are 500 watts RMS at 4 Ohm each Do you think this amp will be too much?? Currently using a QSC USA 1310 that puts out 655 watts at 4 Ohms and only get clipping once in a while. Like to eliminate the clipping all together. These Dayton speakers are nice sounding just want to get the most out of them.
This amp will be fine. Unfortunately behringer has a history of over-rating their amps, most people only get 60% or so of the rated power. For a 500w RMS speaker, you want around a 1,000w amp pushing it for 3db of headroom.
deejaybustab: Thank you for the great video! Am considering picking up an NU3000, but I have a question:I pull sound for BOTBs-type festivals. I use a Behringer EP2500 pushing eight 15" + 5X15 horns for Mains; I also run four separate Monitor channels, using two Behringer NU1000 amps to four or five 12" wedges.Have always run the Main amp from the board/booth area (20A circuit), & the Mon amps from stage level (separate 20A circuit) to not load up any venue's wiring too badly.The other day, after getting back from a festival (without thinking about it, just checking equipment & messin' around), I hooked up everything - board, EQs, FX units, etc. - in my workshop. After a few thumping HOURS, I realized I was running everything off ONE 20A circuit (this workshop only has one circuit). Since W/V=A, this means I was running 4500W/110V = 40.9A? How can we pull 41A of sound from a 20A circuit??? And, no, they weren't maxed out continually, but they had their long & deep moments!You also mentioned a 300W draw by the NU3000; what is the range of draw, relative to the load/gain on this amp? Any idea?
hey how does this compare to the behringer EP2000 would you choose this over the ep? like length of time it can stay on for, sound you get out of it, and amount of years it could last? which would you say is beter and why? Im looking to get an amp and passive speakers to expand my set up, i just have 2 powered 15 inchers @ 200 watts each, im gona use those as monitors once i get peaves pv215s and a power amp, its for a band im in. Thanks Matt.
@DannyFreeplay I have never used the internal crossover on this amp. I keep the amp on Full Range and always use the crossover on my EQ for my subs so I can adjust mid bass and low end bass. Then the amp will just amplify what my EQ puts out. If you switch the amp's crossover switch to low pass then you will just get all low end on the output I didn't read the info on the amp to know what frequency it will crossover at.
@Kilmer1111 It depends on what you want to push with it. I would go with the nu3000 but the only thing I wish this amp had was the ability to run at 8 ohms. It only runs at 4 or 2 ohms according to the documentation. But it kicks hard and uses so little power to run. Most if not all new amps will be going to "class D" which are the new digital amps. The ep2000 is still a great amp but I like the lighter and less power requirements of the nu3000.
and if it is not sucking it from your supply I would suggest it is not delivering it either to bench test it would prove this fact. Labgruppen use a system to limit current draw which in turn limits output but allows transient performance for a significant time period which is more "real world" in practice as music waveforms are not constants ie why many devices are rated "Program" as that is the nature of the signal. a device with FTC or EIA spec is indicative of how it will perform.
@deejaybustab Whats the Factory warranty? Im somewhat new to Hooking up PA Gear but Im trying to find the right amp for my subs. Would you recommend running the NU6000 with two JBL MRX528s Subs?
Great video can you help me with one beginner question please? I have 2 speakers each 500 watt and I think it's 8 ohm, Can I connect both those with this amplifier? Isn't that blow my speakers because this amplifier it's 3000 watt? Can this amplifier hold 2 speakers 1000 watt each?
To add to MiDnYTe25 Class D amps operate in binary which is digital language of 1s and 0s either on or off & no in between like the older amps that have current hungry transistors that stay on 100% of the time which draw so much current that they have to have big transformers, voltage regulators, heat sinks, huge copper inductance coils etc. Class D amps use switching power supplies like what you will find in your desktop PCs. No need for the huge power supply circuit to drive the amp.
Hey Busta B I have a question. I have two 15" house speakers, they're 3-way: has 15" sub, 4" mid, and 2" tweeter, they're rated at 240 watts peak each and there 8 ohms. I'm getting a Crown XLS1000 amp, my question is, if I bridge the amp at 4ohm mono, could I wire both my speakers to the bridge? I guess what I'm asking is: will that just the amp due to powering 6 woofers? It puts out 1100watts 4ohm bridged. Please help! Thanks!
@abc123gpl Yes I am pleased. I have to say that at first when I got this amp and I opened the box up and saw + felt how light it was I thought to myself there is no way this amp will sound that good. But after testing it and using it on a few gigs I am very impressed with Class D technology!
@deejaybustab I connected the Lf & RT balanced output to the CH B & CH A input of the INUKE3000. from the amp, I connected the output CH A & B to the speaker ( Behringer 212XL) I connected that XLR to the bottom left of the speaker since there are 4 connections I can use but with the XLR connector, there are only 2 I can plug in. Does it matter where I plug it in? I was reading the manual and it said that if I wanted to connect another speaker I can use that right XLR as output.
@nezff I just did a small test to see how loud the fan is at normal use. From what I can tell, it is about a tad bit louder than my PS3 fan. Now the PS3 fan noise I am talking about is when you play a game or watch a movie on the PS3...not when your PS3 revs up loud but the normal PS3 fan speed. So from looking at your home theater setup on your page, you may not even notice the NU3000 fan noise under normal use.
Hey bustab, I heard the crossovers in the Peavey 215's can burn up, have you had any problems with that or heard of it, I own a pair but never knew there could be such a problem, I'd hate to blow mine up, I would assume you would have to push them pretty hard for that to happen, if you know about this let me know, thanks.
@mikosuave808 You should be fine...just plug Ch:A output from your amp to 1 XLR plug on 1 speaker and plug Ch:B output from your amp to 1 XLR plug on the other speaker. It doesn't matter which XLR plug on the speaker you use. Hope this helps.
Hello I have a question for you, I'm getting ready to purchase either a iNuke 6000 or a Behringer EPX4000, I'm gonna run an equalizer and a sonic maxmizer processor with my Peavey 215's and I'm gonna use a cd player, this system is not for gigs it's gonna be a home stereo system,what I would like to know is can the inuke run this system the best or the epx, both are the same price, only difference is the iNuke is a D class amp and the EPX is an H class which is classified as a better amp. Thanks
@MrSonidofaraon I can't really tell you which one is better for 8 ohm performance but I can give you the specs: VLP-1500 = 500w rms @ 8 ohm stereo and 1,500w rms @ 8 ohm bridge. EP2000 = 350w rms @ 8 ohm stereo and 1,000w rms @ 8 ohm bridge. From the specs the VLP-1500 will put out more at 8 ohms in stereo and in bridge mode. But the VLP-1500 can't be bridged to 4 ohms and the EP2000 can be bridged down to 4 ohms.
I want to run the nu4-6000 on 2 18" stereo integrity subs at 2ohm per channel and use the other 2 channels for some tower speakers. Do you know if it is strong enough?
@deejaybustab ahh thanks man, i kinda wondered that, ive been savin up and decided on getting the pv115 but im split between the nu3000 and the Crown Xls2000. Thanks for letting us know itll run 8 ohms!
I noticed you've had this amp for a while, and i imagine you've been putting it through its paces.. Hows it holding up?? Im curious to know because of all the bad reviews ive read.
The reason it's so light is because it doesn't have a transformer, it draws it's power from the transformer on the pole outside. Carver made one of these years ago.
@deejaybustab Hi! I just buy a nu6000 and the power specifications are a bit lower then that. Its 1100w ch at 8 ohms (RMS) & 2200w at 4 ohms (RMS)... nothing about paralelle or bridged is specified. but i gotta say that the fan suck all the dust inside so think about adding some kind ov filter on the back.
@TheGenehusky why does he need it I am using the INUKE 3000 DSP powering two Behringer vp1800 18" subs, used at a rave and just sounded awesome used this weekend at a New Years Eve Party again just rocked it. I am selling my Peavey amp powering my mains to get another INUKE.
Can the inuke series amps be linked together to run subs on the second amp, I don't see any outputs on the back, and can a passive crossover be used to run the sub amp ? I would love to buy two nu3000's but there just isn't enough info on them yet, hope you can help thanks.
I would like to see how you got the NU300DSP to work in bridged mode. Mine won't go into bridged mode. It says it is bridged on the front but it still puts out weak stereo (though it does send it to 1+ 2+ so... weird).
I'm planing to build a DJ using "4 * PV215" and "1* Peavey SP218BX Dual 18" Passive Subwoofer" with "1* Behringer iNuke NU4-6000 4-channel Power Amplifier".... how should i hook them up ?? i Know some Electronics but still i need your help...
@Codee Bedout I can't reply like normal & it may be from this new google+ thing But to answer your question...If both of your speakers that you want to hook up to the nu3000 are 8 ohms each then you can just bridge the amp & hook both speakers up in parallel & then connect them to the amp. The amp will see them as 1 big 4ohm speaker and you should be good to go.
I own a new Behringer NX6000. It is "rated" for 3,000w x 2 @ 4-ohms. RMS (real) power is about 2,100w per channel. It will dim the lights at full tilt on household circuits...but, still a Class D. I am using it for my subwoofer cabinet...best amp I have ever used. And I am old.
What sub are you running to it??
So far this amp is doing a great job. I have used it on just bout all of my gigs since Nov 2011 and it has never let me down. I know some don't like Behringer products but this thing is working excellent for what I use it for. Some say its over rated but I am not pushing it to the max...it gives me plenty of head room on my subs just fine. My Zumba gig I did with 600+ in a 25,000 sq foot room I ran this amp very hard & it pushed my folded horns hard for 4hrs non stop without any clipping.
You are welcome. I know that lots of guys may not like this amp or some other Behringer amps and say it is over rated but when you think about it, it is not always about how much can it put out. Its how you hook up your gear, proper speaker placement etc. I know I will never push 2,000w or 3,000w to my 18"s subs because they will burn up. This amp is working great for my setup and has given me excellent results over the past 8 months. I have pushed this thing hard and it keeps going. Enjoy...
The amp is still kicking hard!!! Never had any issues over the past 1 year and 2 months. I know 3 DJs that DJ in my area with the same amp and they all love it.
Man, I don't know if I'm more impressed with how well kept your room is, or the review itself, NICE job!
Yes you can use a crossover for your subs with this NU3000 amp. The EP2000 has two 1/4 inputs and 2 XLR inputs. On the EP2000 you can plug your audio input to the 2 XLR inputs and use the 1/4 inputs as a "loop out" to feed another amp. I have done this plenty of times and Berhinger tech support said the inputs on the EP2000 are all in parallel for running multiple amps.
That is a good question but according to Berhinger tech support when I called them about this too...this amp does not have "loop out" connections for this. I wanted to do the same with this amp but instead I will use a "Y" XLR cable. That way I can plug this amp on 1 set of XLRs and 1 another amp on the 2nd set of XLRs. Then you can run 2 NU3000s.
@WorldsDeepestBass Thanks man!! You may want to go with the nu6000 but I think the nu3000 will push one 18" if its 4ohms in bridge mode just fine. You may want to look at the specs on both amps before you decide.
I bought this amp in November after watching this review and firestorm record's, and man!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I used this bridged on two Peavey 18' LowRiders in a boxes tuned to 35hz, and this thing is RIDICULOUS chest pounding cant breathe properly bass. Just ordered another and hopefully will get couple NU6000s later on.
Cool Man!! I would get another one if mine were ever to down lol This amp is still rocking after 2yrs of use!!! If you hook em up correctly and not over drive it and treat it with care in a case and not store it outside in a shed or trailer then they will always perform lol most electronics shouldn't be kept out in a extreme hot or freezing trailer like some people do. Only military rated electronics can be stored in harsh environments and perform day in and out. Glad you like it :)
yeah, I have all my gear in road cases for the protection, but here in Barbados lowest it gets its 21deg C lol. I have the limiters in my Ultra Drive set to stop it from clipping, trying to save the speaks and amps from damage and spending unnecessarily.
Man that sounds like the place to be now since where I live it is 3F outside or -16C LOL Plenty of snow and ice here.
Yeah Thanks for the quick reply. Between you and the firestorm's Video I'm sold. Just looking to lighten my load without losing the power. Thanks again and keep doing the videos. They're really helpful.
So far from my uses and what I use it for over the past 11 months, it has been very reliable. Never had any issues or bad sound.
Thanks I hope it helped you out. Still love this amp. Gig went well. I have pushed this amp for over 1 year without any problems. It runs my subs EXCELLENT!!!! I even pushed it very hard on my Zumba gig for 4hrs non stop. I know 7 DJs that have this same amp and they all love it. For what we use it for it is the best bang for the buck no questions asked.
ok just did and thank you for the links. and you have been the best help i ever have gotten on the internet.
Once again Thank You for all ur help and time
@EntertainmentEnzo So far so good. I don't know why people are having problems with this amp. I used it this past Saturday and pushed it hard with my two 18" subs for about 6hrs without any problems at all. Just all clean sound & no clipping. Pulls so little electricity to run. I don't know if people just don't know how to hook up PA gear or how to adjust audio for proper sound output. I have no complaints with this amp.
On the iNuke amps you plug your audio into Channel A and your output you use is Channel A. I had to call tech support when I 1st got this amp and ask them the same question. The tech told me they just didn't print this info in the instructions. But he also said that all Behringer amps including the old heavy amps it's always been ChA used. Hope this helps.
My PV215 speakers I run them with the American Audio VLP1500 or sometimes I use my Berhinger EP2000. The PV215s do not have a lot of deep bass so I just use them as my tops for all mids and highs. I always run them with my two 18" subs to give me the bottom end bass. If you run the PV215s I would recommend you run a set of subs with them.
Thanks for the support!! When I ran the 215s on this amp I just kept the amp in stereo mode and didn't bridge it and it still pumped the 215s hard. Each 215 is 4ohms and if you bridge the amp it will be in 4ohms on 1 channel but two 215s in parallel will be 2ohms on the amp and I didn't want to try the amp on 2ohms lol So I kept the amp in stereo.
Yes this amp will power the Peavey 215s excellent!!! Plenty of power for them
Actually in the manual if i remember correctly, it sais that the amp draws from the mains 350W at 1/8 rated power with 2 ohms load (again, if i remember correctly). That means that at full blast, this amp draws a lot more power than 350W.
Looks like I'm gonna go with the iNuke 6000, I'll let ya know how it goes when I get it going, thanks for the input, by the way behringer has a new 4 channel inuke series amp coming out that will run the 215's and subs all with the same amp.Looks awsome.
@Kilmer1111 Yes at 2 ohms it puts out 1500w to both channels. At 4 ohms it puts out 880w to both channels and you can bridge it and get 3000w at 4 ohms all on 1 channel. Others are now saying this amp can also put out 440w at 8 ohms to both channels but I have not tried it at 8 ohms yet.
I spoke with Behringer tech support and they stated that this amp will work fine on 8 ohms. They just didn't print the 8 ohm specs in the documentation.
I wish this amp had that option but it does not. To link this amp I have to use a "Y" XLR cable which comes out from my crossover or EQ. That way I can plug this amp on 1 set of XLRs and 1 another amp on the 2nd set of XLRs. Then you can run 2 amps from 1 input signal. I don't know why Behringer did not provide any loop out connections on this amp. But the Y XLR cable works fine for linking more than 1 amp.
I have a INUKE NU3000 it is perfect, we only have problems with spare parts here in Brazil
@mikosuave808 I looked at a photo of the speakers you have and it should not matter what XLR plug you use on the speaker. The speaker has 2 1/4 jacks and 2 XLR jacks. You can use either 1/4 jacks or XLR jacks to plug up to. You only need 1 XLR plug on the speaker. The other plug can be used for parallel hookup to another speaker. With parallel hookup you will only need 1 speaker cable to the amp because both 8ohm speakers will drop down to one 4ohm load for the amp.
Which peavey pv215 was connected it sounded like both of them were playing and dang!!!! They sound great, how much were they?
You will need to get a RCA to 1/4 connector or RCA to XLR. The RCA side connects to your Mixtrack and the 1/4 or XLR connect to the amp's side. But I would say to plug the mixtrak to a crossover or EQ then the crossover or EQ will plug to the amp. That way you can adjust your sound (Bass, mids, highs).
Thanx man!! Great review I am totally sold on this u just ordered mine and can't wait to here it in action!!
Nice presentation. I'm picking up a couple of these soon as replacements for blown conventional amps so these videos are helping to convince me... I will be using one of them to power up a pair of JBL M series speakers, 1x15 600watt driver. I was using a 500 watt per side amp which wasn't doing the job at all so hoping this will drive them harder. My only concern is that they look a little Hi-Fi stylie but they will be flight cased before they hit the road so shouldn't be too much of a prob.
Just an update. I ran the NU3000 tonight for about 8hrs at a party on one 18" subwoofer that is 8ohms. It performed great with this 1 speaker at 8ohms!! No clipping at all...just all clean sound. No heat build up at all. Not even warm to the touch. Of course I ran it without over driving anything LOL!
No prob about the questions cause that's how we all learn...It is very easy to set up the PV215s with the EP2000. Each speaker has a 1/4 jack on the back and as long as you have speaker cable that has 1/4 plugs on 1 end to plug to the speaker and the other end has banana plugs or speakon that can plug into the amp, you will be good to go.
Both amps will run the Peavey 215s without any problems. The Nu6000 will use less electricity and run quiet compared to the EP4000. But both amps will push the 215s with plenty of power to spare.
The boxes were built by a friend years ago and the drivers that I have in them are Siesmic Audio New Madrid 18" and they pound hard. I have the same drivers in my 2 folded horns.
@SuperErin21 You may want to have 2 amps to run all 4 speakers. 2 speakers hooked up in parallel on 1 amp bridged to 4 ohms and the other amp do the same. As far for your mixer output...you can just run L and R outputs of the mixer to both inputs of the amp.
@SuperErin21 With 4 speakers at 500w each and each is 8 ohm, if you were to hook all 4 up..ch1 with 2 speakers in parallel and ch2 with 2 speakers in parallel then that will give both channels on the amp a 4 ohm load. The amp will only put out 880w x 2 in stereo 4 ohm which I think is still less power than what you may need to drive all 4 speakers at once with only 1 amp. It may work but if you drive it hard it may not sound good.
This amp never gets hot. It barely got a tad bit warmer than room temp when I pushed it hard at my Zumba gig. I ran it for 5 hours non stop very hard and the amp was barely warm to the touch. Even the air from the cooling fan was just barely warm.
@nezff No not at all. The fan is very quiet compared to my EP2000. Now a few times I did crank the NU3000 hard on my 18" subs and the fan did rev up louder but it only spun up faster only when the bass hit and continued to hit for like 10 seconds non stop. But once the bass was lower or in between heavy bass notes, it spun down. Now this only happened when I pushed it VERY HARD to the point when my photos came down from my walls.
your a cool guy :) like the music choice too! I have a VLP1500 which I'm not very happy with as it isn't very good at driving subs - I was wondering if you would recommend the NU3000 or NU6000 for my 18 inch Fi BL (car audio) which I'm using for a home theatre/Hi-Fi system - the sub does around 1500w RMS so the amp needs some oomph - thanks :)
Just a few little things. The amp HAS to draw as many watts from the mains as it does provide to the speakers - Basic physics. It is however more efficient. The EP2000 may be around 60-70% efficient where as these should be 90% ish.
Also behringer do rate this for 8ohm. Its 440w RMS x 2 (peak power means nothing) always use RMS. Ideally you want twice the rms amps of the rms on the speakers.
Not sure what the issue with fans is, but at any gig I do you wont hear fans!
@SuperErin21 Yes you can connect both speakers to this amp in stereo (will give amp 8 ohm load) or parallel (will give amp 4 ohm load). You can blow your speakers if you don't manage your volume levels which goes for any amp. This amp should be able to drive 2 speakers @ 1000w each but I would hook them up in parallel if they are 4 ohms and bridge the amp to 4ohms with both speakers. That way the amp will put out more power to the set of speakers.
Nice setup! Enjoy! These class D amps are the way of the future.
I am also interested in the comparison to the VLP 1500. I see the specifications, but the question is which amp are you happy with to run the subs. I think the VLP1500 has loud fans and if the iNuke is cooler, quieter and sounds as good then I would go that way.
Thanks!
@kevinmcahill The amp which I am happy with running my subs now is the NU3000. The VLP1500 can't be bridged to run at 4 ohms, it can only be bridged and run at 8 ohms. I like running my subs in parallel which will give the amp a 4 ohm load. When I run my subs, I place them side by side so you can get the 3db of more sound from them. The VLP1500 is still a great amp and I still use it to run my PV215s.
So far so good!!! It pushes my 2 front firing 18"s in bridge mode at 4 ohms and I will push the hell out of my 2 folded horn 18"s in bridge mode at 4 ohms. Some don't like this amp because they all say it is over rated but for what I use it for it works excellent and I would get another one If I had to.
I read that same test result back in Oct 2011 just before I got this amp in Nov 2011. I agree with you..the price point and weight makes it a good purchase. Plus it really pushes my front firing 18 subs and my folded horn 18s very well. The past 7months this amp has given me excellent results. When I did my Zumba gig, the recording artist Dahrio Wonder said to me "man I go from state to state around the country and your bass is hittn hard & clean" that made me feel good about this amp :)
@TheGenehusky Have you had bad luck with this amp? So far I have used this amp on 3 gigs and it has worked flawlessly even on my two 18" subs when I pushed it hard for 3 hours at 4 ohms with heavy bass.
Thanks for your reviews, i have seen lots of them, the gobo projector, the PV215 speaker stands hack, the power supply, and i liked them a lot, please let me know if you have hooked up your PV215 one each chanel so it kicks them at 4 ohms in stereo? it´s supposed to be 880 watts and the Peaveys are 700 program 1400 Peak so it theoretically should drive them OK, the reason for my quesion is hat i just heard the PV215 driven by a QSC RMX1450a which is just about the same specs and they blew me away.
@mikosuave808 With 1 or 2 8ohm speakers you can just plug them in with the normal stereo diagram which is in the amps documentation. If you have 2 8ohm speakers and you want to bridge the amp to 4ohms, you will need to hook both speakers up in parallel and the amp will see a 4ohm load. Then just plug 1 speaker cable from the speakers to the amps bridged output plug.
I think you will be fine. As long as you get your PV215 speakers up a bit so they are not sitting on the floor...that way the sound from your tops will travel further in the room. If you sit the PV215s on the floor all of your sound will not travel because it will just go straight to the floor.
@TheGenehusky That's cool...This is my 2nd Behringer amp and so far my older EP2000 Behringer and the NU3000 one work excellent.
@deejaybustab Thank you so much for your reply I want to find out one last thing, More likely I will be in a situation with 4 speakers 500 watt each 8 ohms, How will I connect when then there are 2 outputs, Should I connect 2 others from speaker to speaker?? Is this connection in parallel and I got 4 ohms total resistance per channel, There are also 2 channel input should there come from my mixer left to one channel input and right to other channel input?
@jwolfmanc32 No prob man...Yeah this amp kicks out and is still hard to believe it is only 7 pounds! Makes you think its a DVD player or something when you go to pick it up LOL 1 note...At 2 ohms it draws 350w of electricity and at 4 ohms it only draws 170w of electricity. In the vid I said 300w at 4 ohms but at 4 ohms it is way less power draw. You could plug 2 or 3 in 1 circuit and still be way under 1,500w of electricity.
Hey DeeJaybustab I'm looking into purchasing Nu3000. And I was wondering when you bridge it is there a certain channel your supposed to plug into. Because I have been reading up on the Behringer website and the they don't show the bridging setup. I want to run a pair of subs on it.
For a question like that you may want to contact Behringer & ask tech support. All I know is that this amp is not in the same class as Pyle & the SMT components in this amp are totally different. From using this amp for over 1 year it has kicked my subs to death & on my Zumba gig all I got was complements on the bass from it. Even Recording Artist Dahrio Wonder couldn't believe how it put out since he works with big name brand amps while on tour with Gina & Tonya for all Zumba shows.
The PV215s are very good for mids and highs but the deep bass they do lack. They do produce a punchy bass but for the deep bass you will need a sub. I like my 215s because they are very loud for the mid-range and highs. I always run a sub whenever I use my 215s but yes the 215s are very loud.
You know I never really tested the built in crossover to see how it really sounds on low freq or high freq. I have always used an external crossover just because you can adjust things on the fly. I may have to test it out and see how it sounds. I would still say to get an external crossover just because you can adjust more things like freq cutoff and db gains. The internal may just have 1 freq where it cuts off for bass and the same for highs..
First of all. great reviews. I have a pair of SP2G's and am thinking about buying a NU3000 to power them. Have you powered your SP2G's with the NU3000....what are your thoughts? If you did, did you go one speaker per channel, bridged,etc? Any info would be great.Thanks
Question: will this amp work properly with just those PV215's alone or do they need a stronger one?

so does thr LED clip light up when the amp is being over powered or/and my speakers are being over powered? I'm just concerned because i have speakers that have a input capacity well below the output of these amps. So im concerned about 'blowing out my speakers' is there any form of protection to the speakers you could recomend or help clarify to me? I really appreciated your help on my last questions.
Hello and thanks for the video, I have a question about the built in crossover. have you tested just the crossover? I see you can do one side for tops and the other side for subs. I was just wondering how much does the built in crossover filter out or would there be need for a external crossover if i was to purchase @ of this amps. Thanks
Hopefully you are still around to answer this.... I have 2 Dayton bass speakers that are 500 watts RMS at 4 Ohm each Do you think this amp will be too much?? Currently using a QSC USA 1310 that puts out 655 watts at 4 Ohms and only get clipping once in a while. Like to eliminate the clipping all together. These Dayton speakers are nice sounding just want to get the most out of them.
This amp will be fine. Unfortunately behringer has a history of over-rating their amps, most people only get 60% or so of the rated power. For a 500w RMS speaker, you want around a 1,000w amp pushing it for 3db of headroom.
deejaybustab: Thank you for the great video! Am considering picking up an NU3000, but I have a question:I pull sound for BOTBs-type festivals. I use a Behringer EP2500 pushing eight 15" + 5X15 horns for Mains; I also run four separate Monitor channels, using two Behringer NU1000 amps to four or five 12" wedges.Have always run the Main amp from the board/booth area (20A circuit), & the Mon amps from stage level (separate 20A circuit) to not load up any venue's wiring too badly.The other day, after getting back from a festival (without thinking about it, just checking equipment & messin' around), I hooked up everything - board, EQs, FX units, etc. - in my workshop. After a few thumping HOURS, I realized I was running everything off ONE 20A circuit (this workshop only has one circuit). Since W/V=A, this means I was running 4500W/110V = 40.9A? How can we pull 41A of sound from a 20A circuit??? And, no, they weren't maxed out continually, but they had their long & deep moments!You also mentioned a 300W draw by the NU3000; what is the range of draw, relative to the load/gain on this amp? Any idea?
arksound
hey how does this compare to the behringer EP2000 would you choose this over the ep? like length of time it can stay on for, sound you get out of it, and amount of years it could last? which would you say is beter and why? Im looking to get an amp and passive speakers to expand my set up, i just have 2 powered 15 inchers @ 200 watts each, im gona use those as monitors once i get peaves pv215s and a power amp, its for a band im in.
Thanks
Matt.
@DannyFreeplay I have never used the internal crossover on this amp. I keep the amp on Full Range and always use the crossover on my EQ for my subs so I can adjust mid bass and low end bass. Then the amp will just amplify what my EQ puts out. If you switch the amp's crossover switch to low pass then you will just get all low end on the output I didn't read the info on the amp to know what frequency it will crossover at.
@Kilmer1111 It depends on what you want to push with it. I would go with the nu3000 but the only thing I wish this amp had was the ability to run at 8 ohms. It only runs at 4 or 2 ohms according to the documentation. But it kicks hard and uses so little power to run. Most if not all new amps will be going to "class D" which are the new digital amps. The ep2000 is still a great amp but I like the lighter and less power requirements of the nu3000.
and if it is not sucking it from your supply I would suggest it is not delivering it either to bench test it would prove this fact. Labgruppen use a system to limit current draw which in turn limits output but allows transient performance for a significant time period which is more "real world" in practice as music waveforms are not constants ie why many devices are rated "Program" as that is the nature of the signal. a device with FTC or EIA spec is indicative of how it will perform.
@deejaybustab Whats the Factory warranty? Im somewhat new to Hooking up PA Gear but Im trying to find the right amp for my subs. Would you recommend running the NU6000 with two JBL MRX528s Subs?
It will be good to run either your 15s or just your subs but if you are trying to run 3 speakers on 1 amp then you may want to get the NU6000.
Great video can you help me with one beginner question please? I have 2 speakers each 500 watt and I think it's 8 ohm, Can I connect both those with this amplifier? Isn't that blow my speakers because this amplifier it's 3000 watt? Can this amplifier hold 2 speakers 1000 watt each?
If you run the amp in mono mode you can use tha channel b xlr to link your amps.
To add to MiDnYTe25 Class D amps operate in binary which is digital language of 1s and 0s either on or off & no in between like the older amps that have current hungry transistors that stay on 100% of the time which draw so much current that they have to have big transformers, voltage regulators, heat sinks, huge copper inductance coils etc. Class D amps use switching power supplies like what you will find in your desktop PCs. No need for the huge power supply circuit to drive the amp.
Hey Busta B I have a question. I have two 15" house speakers, they're 3-way: has 15" sub, 4" mid, and 2" tweeter, they're rated at 240 watts peak each and there 8 ohms. I'm getting a Crown XLS1000 amp, my question is, if I bridge the amp at 4ohm mono, could I wire both my speakers to the bridge? I guess what I'm asking is: will that just the amp due to powering 6 woofers? It puts out 1100watts 4ohm bridged. Please help! Thanks!
I NEED to purchase a 12000 watts i nuke Dsp Behringer power amp, WHERE can i get one?
Thanks!!! That song is Lil Jon Get Naked but it's a remix that I can't think of where I got it from.
@abc123gpl Yes I am pleased. I have to say that at first when I got this amp and I opened the box up and saw + felt how light it was I thought to myself there is no way this amp will sound that good. But after testing it and using it on a few gigs I am very impressed with Class D technology!
Can you make a video on how you hook up the subs to the amp, and the mixer and all? Would be much appreciated.
ok thank you so much for helping me. and is setting up everything hard or not? so for asking so much questions first time getting speakers this big.
@deejaybustab I connected the Lf & RT balanced output to the CH B & CH A input of the INUKE3000. from the amp, I connected the output CH A & B to the speaker ( Behringer 212XL) I connected that XLR to the bottom left of the speaker since there are 4 connections I can use but with the XLR connector, there are only 2 I can plug in. Does it matter where I plug it in? I was reading the manual and it said that if I wanted to connect another speaker I can use that right XLR as output.
@nezff I just did a small test to see how loud the fan is at normal use. From what I can tell, it is about a tad bit louder than my PS3 fan. Now the PS3 fan noise I am talking about is when you play a game or watch a movie on the PS3...not when your PS3 revs up loud but the normal PS3 fan speed. So from looking at your home theater setup on your page, you may not even notice the NU3000 fan noise under normal use.
Hey bustab, I heard the crossovers in the Peavey 215's can burn up, have you had any problems with that or heard of it, I own a pair but never knew there could be such a problem, I'd hate to blow mine up, I would assume you would have to push them pretty hard for that to happen, if you know about this let me know, thanks.
Do you think you can make a review on just the peavey215 speakers because there's not much videos about them
@mikosuave808 You should be fine...just plug Ch:A output from your amp to 1 XLR plug on 1 speaker and plug Ch:B output from your amp to 1 XLR plug on the other speaker. It doesn't matter which XLR plug on the speaker you use. Hope this helps.
Hello I have a question for you, I'm getting ready to purchase either a iNuke 6000 or a Behringer EPX4000, I'm gonna run an equalizer and a sonic maxmizer processor with my Peavey 215's and I'm gonna use a cd player, this system is not for gigs it's gonna be a home stereo system,what I would like to know is can the inuke run this system the best or the epx, both are the same price, only difference is the iNuke is a D class amp and the EPX is an H class which is classified as a better amp. Thanks
@MrSonidofaraon I can't really tell you which one is better for 8 ohm performance but I can give you the specs:
VLP-1500 = 500w rms @ 8 ohm stereo and 1,500w rms @ 8 ohm bridge.
EP2000 = 350w rms @ 8 ohm stereo and 1,000w rms @ 8 ohm bridge.
From the specs the VLP-1500 will put out more at 8 ohms in stereo and in bridge mode. But the VLP-1500 can't be bridged to 4 ohms and the EP2000 can be bridged down to 4 ohms.
I want to run the nu4-6000 on 2 18" stereo integrity subs at 2ohm per channel and use the other 2 channels for some tower speakers. Do you know if it is strong enough?
@deejaybustab ahh thanks man, i kinda wondered that, ive been savin up and decided on getting the pv115 but im split between the nu3000 and the Crown Xls2000. Thanks for letting us know itll run 8 ohms!
hey deejaybustab I have two 18 inch subs and two 15 inch loud speakers, both 8 ohms. Could I bridge both the subs and speakers on the two outputs?
I noticed you've had this amp for a while, and i imagine you've been putting it through its paces.. Hows it holding up?? Im curious to know because of all the bad reviews ive read.
The reason it's so light is because it doesn't have a transformer, it draws it's power from the transformer on the pole outside. Carver made one of these years ago.
@deejaybustab Hi! I just buy a nu6000 and the power specifications are a bit lower then that. Its 1100w ch at 8 ohms (RMS) & 2200w at 4 ohms (RMS)... nothing about paralelle or bridged is specified. but i gotta say that the fan suck all the dust inside so think about adding some kind ov filter on the back.
@TheGenehusky why does he need it I am using the INUKE 3000 DSP powering two Behringer vp1800 18" subs, used at a rave and just sounded awesome used this weekend at a New Years Eve Party again just rocked it. I am selling my Peavey amp powering my mains to get another INUKE.
Can the inuke series amps be linked together to run subs on the second amp, I don't see any outputs on the back, and can a passive crossover be used to run the sub amp ? I would love to buy two nu3000's but there just isn't enough info on them yet, hope you can help thanks.
I would like to see how you got the NU300DSP to work in bridged mode. Mine won't go into bridged mode. It says it is bridged on the front but it still puts out weak stereo (though it does send it to 1+ 2+ so... weird).
where'd you learn about amps/speakers, its so confusing. What even is bridge mode
I'm planing to build a DJ using "4 * PV215" and "1* Peavey SP218BX Dual 18" Passive Subwoofer" with "1* Behringer iNuke NU4-6000 4-channel Power Amplifier".... how should i hook them up ?? i Know some Electronics but still i need your help...
@Codee Bedout I can't reply like normal & it may be from this new google+ thing But to answer your question...If both of your speakers that you want to hook up to the nu3000 are 8 ohms each then you can just bridge the amp & hook both speakers up in parallel & then connect them to the amp. The amp will see them as 1 big 4ohm speaker and you should be good to go.
deejaybustab hello, friend. What is the sing?
hey dejay is the amp batter then the all the ones you have ? i would really like it and it would help make my decision if you reply.
@deejaybustab ok, I just bought an inuke3000 power amp, how will I hook this up to an 8 ohms speaker? Parallel or series?
Depends on service wether it's 110v or 220 or UK 240
Are these amps still running? Have they given you any problems in the many years since this review? Ty for the video.
