Pow_22 Posted December 30, 2009 Posted December 30, 2009 (edited) Im selling my Trace Elliot BFC 1000w cab as i didnt research properly and dont have the amp to power it. Its a 4x10 top and 1x15 bottom all in one cab. Ive been told it is technically 3 cabs in one (2x2x10 with a tweeter each and the 1x15). Pick up only due to the weight of the thing. Im looking for £200 or would consider trading for the old style grilled Ashdown Mag cabs (either 115 or 410). Will post pic as soon as i can Edited January 4, 2010 by Pow_22
warwickhunt Posted December 30, 2009 Posted December 30, 2009 Heck of a lot of cab for not a huge wedge of money!
Delberthot Posted December 30, 2009 Posted December 30, 2009 b0!!0ck$ Notlob's too far away from me. Sorry I came over all Monty Python just now. Its a palindrome
Stag Posted December 30, 2009 Posted December 30, 2009 devastatingly loud cab for not many bucks, someone will have a piece of this action very soon methinks!!!
waynepunkdude Posted December 30, 2009 Posted December 30, 2009 I would love this, how many OHMs is it?

Marcus Posted December 30, 2009 Posted December 30, 2009 oooh ! I remember having one of these supplied as backline for a gig a few years ago !! Sounded bl00dy Amaaaaazing !!!! Good luck with the sale, although at that price you'll not really need it !! ATB Mark

Pow_22 Posted January 1, 2010 Author Posted January 1, 2010 Bit of a bump but also to let you know that there is an AH1000 head 2nd hand on the Coda Music site for £799. Would make a great partnership these two!
Thornybank Posted January 1, 2010 Posted January 1, 2010 (edited) You are right about the AH1000 - that's the amp it wants. The BFC cab is a biamp design with a bottom section and stereo tops. It doesn't run full range unless you completely rewire it - and that involves a complete unbuild and some drilling... I have an AH500X and an AH350X that will run it, but for its full everything, you want to feed the 250w+250w stereo top section. Then WOW! Edited January 1, 2010 by Thornybank
fretmeister Posted January 1, 2010 Posted January 1, 2010 Couild you power it all with a head that would run at 2 ohms and another that would run at 4ohms?
rumour6 Posted January 1, 2010 Posted January 1, 2010 Hi there, as far as I know you can use any Bi-amp head and run the two 2x10s as a 4x10 hi-pass and the 15 as a low pass but NOT all three sections together without a complete re-wire. If you can source an AH 350x or 500x (needs to be the 'x' as it stands for 'X'over) you should be fine... may be cheaper ...sell your amp and buy head.. then sell off such a good cab for so little... or you may only have a small car... then, ah, physics takes over... Good luck anyway. Andy

Pow_22 Posted January 2, 2010 Author Posted January 2, 2010 taking it to the local guitar shop on tuesday to see if they can sell it for me so last chance peeps
maddude16 Posted January 5, 2010 Posted January 5, 2010 if i had a 1000w amp, this would already be in my car. id ebay it, you'll get £150 easy on ebay. if you havent got an ebay account ill list it for you but il want the charges paid and covered for that ebay generously give
Thornybank Posted January 5, 2010 Posted January 5, 2010 How big is your car!?!?!?!? If it was up here, it would be nestled under my AH350X biamp had where it belongs....

Pow_22 Posted January 12, 2010 Author Posted January 12, 2010 Sorry for the delay in replying peeps. USB cable for my phone is on its way so pics will be up very shortly. Im not so good on back line techincals but i have been told only the AH1000 will power the whole cab. If you know differently then fair enough, you are welconme to try your head thru the cab (based in Bolton). As i mentioned the carpet at the bottom of the cab is a little tatty and the front grill has a couple of small scratched but nothing to major. Pis will follow very shortly.
Thornybank Posted January 12, 2010 Posted January 12, 2010 Any biamp head will do it - its just not a full range cab ( 2x250 top and 500 bottom). Chap with an AH600SMX sez his biamps = that'll work. Pre with stereo out and stereo power will do it. I have an AH350X and an AH500X if anyone wants to go the distance on a package. This thing is no money - found one advertsied for $3300AUS

You need 3 power amps. Edited January 12, 2010 by obbm
Pow_22 Posted January 21, 2010 Author Posted January 21, 2010 Pictures finally uploaded. Sorry been offline for a while. Still looking for £150-£200 for this. Pick up in bolton only. Any questions please ask. Cheets
