is this a good price? - iNUKE 1000dsp
got a quote for a new iNUKE1000 with dsp for $315 Canadian which includes shipping (plus tax of course).
Wondering what my fellow Canucks would say

What you planning to drive with it?? The "1000" in the title is a bit optimistic:
See this doc on my google drive for the specs of the whole product line (scroll to the specs at the end of the doc, not the headline figures). Behringer no longer seem to publish the RMS figures - a bit sneaky if you ask me and not necessary for these good value DSP amps. Can't comment on the price, apart from doing the conversion to sterlings (£165) which seems like a good deal, but you always get better deals on your side of the pondBehringer wrote:RMS
Stereo
8 Ω per channel, stereo 110 W
4 Ω per channel, stereo 210 W
2 Ω per channel, stereo 380 W
Bridged mono
8 Ω 430 W
4 Ω 750 W

Just read another thread where you were recommended the NU1000DSP, so I guess that will do (unless you plan on expanding at any point)

The price is good, about the same as what you would pay on ebay (which is where I do most of my shopping as a Canadian). Like was mentioned, are you sure that amp fits your needs? Anything more than monitors, high frequency drivers or home use and you would probably want something bigger.

Re: is this a good price? - iNUKE 1000dsp
HI everyone
So I'm planning on driving a single BP102 driver, which I haven't bought yet, so I could get the 4 ohm model. This amp will be only use for this purpose. So if it's bridged mono into 4 ohms, 750 w seems like that should be sufficient for the BP102. Here's the spec sheet on the driverhttp://www.parts-express.com/pedocs/spe ... ations.pdf

Arrrrrrr crossed threads.
Don't go with the BP102 4 ohm.
It's voltage limit is 27V IIRC, and that's not a problem within itself.
If you decide after hearing the first cab that you want another, then paralleling 2 cabs together will take you into the 2 ohms/channel area, and it's best to avoid that when you can.
With the 8 ohm, if you decide to add another later, you're looking after your amp by running in the 4 ohms/channel area rather than the 2ohm/channel.
Since you're going to buy an amp, buy one that will do the job from the outset.
Avoid bridging:

Re: is this a good price? - iNUKE 1000dsp
Why would you want the 4 ohm version? Hopefully you're not falling for the fallacious assumption that more watts is louder?

Re: is this a good price? - iNUKE 1000dsp
Hey guys
first off, sorry for the unintended cross post. I hate that and understand the appearance of "new poster" now messing up the order of a well established discussion board. I really was just looking for price advice and the discussion went another way.
Regarding the 4 ohm question, I'm really not in favour.. . I'm going to stick with my original intention and get the BP102 (8 ohm) driver.
My mains are physically attached to the garage wall as is my effects/amp rack so the likelihood of pulling them down and then moving to a buddy's for a party is low. I doubt I'll ever want a second sub, really I'm just looking to round out the sound that my mains don't cover. So, this is where I come back to the iNUKE 1000 dsp. If people really feel more is needed to drive this single driver and switch up to the iNUKE 3000 I will, but I'm trying to be realistic regarding how much into the future I need to look.

If you make a "hard and fast" decision that you will NEVER go beyond the single cab, then the iNUKE1000 will be plenty. However, if there is a remote chance that ...... then, go for the iNUKE3000. Either one with DSP, though.

Geez....it's not the end of the world if he decides to buy a bigger amp someday.....in fact some of us consider that a good thing.....over and over and over....Tom Smit wrote:If you make a "hard and fast" decision that you will NEVER go beyond the single cab, then the iNUKE1000 will be plenty.

I started with one Crown XLS1000 to power my T39s......I still have it....along with 7 others of varying power. In fact, I contend that it may be best to start with too small of an amp.....because once you figure that out - you'll have to buy another amp....but wait, now you have an extra amp so you have to build more speakers.....see how great that is?

Start a 'just giving' page and wear the T-shirt at your freebie raves. ...just joking. I've got a works quiz night tonight - no money for that either, but I'm gonna give it my best, and sow some seed - nothing dodgy like. There's a harvest coming for sure. ...and I was binned off the project these guys are working on! I'm going to bless 'em all I can - I've even shed out £11 on BM800 condenser mic from China, for the announcer/quiz master - they proper look the part - he's the guy who got me on and off! the job. I'm going to say to him, "here you are mate, this is your mic. It has a special name - it's called a c#£t mic"escapemcp wrote: Yeah... BFM addiction ruined me (financially).

Re: is this a good price? - iNUKE 1000dsp
well.. after considerable thought (and 3 beers..) I decided to buy the iNUKE 3000. I think it was the third beer that really helped the decision. Honestly, after a fair bit of sober thought I realized that the (CAN) $ difference between the 2 amps was $140 and if I were to upgrade or build some new main cabs I could use the 3000 for them .. and then maybe by another??
I've always felt it's a good idea to grow into a purchase (larger table saw, bigger amp.. air compressor) and never regretted getting more umpf behind one of these purchased. I get the amp in 3 days... wahoo!

Re: is this a good price? - iNUKE 1000dsp
actually .. I thought I was cured.. apparently not.
Used to do house sound in Ontario at Kingswood music theatre. Worked with Roger Waters on a tour. 2" tascam reel to reel ('member those?) with 32k front of house cabs, L/R stacks and 15k at the rear. 109dB at the sound board (an analog 60 channel/8 out)
those were the days!
