an update on my bh500,after my tc 2x10 cab blew at practice,i was suspicious that the amp was fine and hooked it up to my goliath snr 6x10 cab and guess what?,the amp worked fine!in fact,the bh500 sounds really good through the bigger cab than the tc 2x10 maybe ive got a faulty tc cab(i only have it 2 mths)but the bh500 should have made a good combination with its own cab i dont know,,of course the swr cab is 4ohms which may be the reason,by the way the bh500 sounds really good!

Really just loss of volume

[quote name='machinehead' post='1154734' date='Mar 8 2011, 11:12 PM']Hi owen, Sorry to hear that. Out of interest, what cab were you using? Are you sure it's the amp that's blown and not the cab? Have you tried the amp with another cab to check this? As said above, please keep us posted. Frank.[/quote] Hi all, Sorry for late reply,i was using the tc electronic 2x10 (the cheaper more squarer type version),the bh 500 amp seems ok,but i had an incident tonight with the same cab,while at practice i was using my swr sm500 amp on the cab (running amp in bridge mode with vol well down) the tc suddenly went on fire,after initial shock of whats just happened we removed handle and looked in,it was still smoking and seemed to be a lot of damage,when i plugged bass in all i heard was a faint fart type noise but nothing else,i really liked tc electronic stuff but im slightly perturbed by this turn of events.

Hi all,ive recently bought a tc electronic 250w 2x10 speaker enclosure,im driving it with an swr sm 500 on bridge mode, i smelt a lot of smoke and the cab has stopped working,before i bought the cab i checked my swr manual and it is ok to run an 8ohm cab on its own,and also i was turned well down, i think ive blown up the speaker,although thankfully thr swr amp is perfect because i put it back on to my goliath 6x10 cab and everything sounds normal,what would have happened the tc cab?

[quote name='LukeFRC' post='1110440' date='Feb 1 2011, 12:48 AM']tc BH500 you can buy for £365 new the cheapest i could find a new SWR SM-500 was £1245 now i didn't spend long looking for the best deal but that doesn't sound like an upgrade there.[/quote] Hmm,i see what you mean, it looked good on website,but probably not as good as the swr gear
