Not a good idea. Pairing a 1x15 with a 4x12 will equate to short life for the 1x15.

Not a good idea. Pairing a 1x15 with a 4x12 will equate to short life for the 1x15.
Merging confusion.
It's a 412 4ohm, that's your lot. You can't add another cab without another amp.
That cab has to be far louder than your old 215. It probably has more low end only you can't hear it over the general racket.

Kibble, milkbones, and P Basses. And redheads.
GK is not known for a huge low end. It has nothing to do with the size of the speakers.
Thanks. That's the answer I was looking for. Not looking for more volume just that low deep sound. And as noted, I can't add the 115. Thanks for all the comments.
Y soy poseedor de un bugera B115 ts y te digo que obtienes lo que pagas exactamente. Cuando quieres potencia no termina de responder muy bien. Termine montado un eminence 4 hom tapando salida trasera e instalando 3 salidas frontales y gano mucha profundidad pero aún no le saco el color que busco por el tamaño de la caja, insuficiente.
I was looking for comments from somebody who actually tried the cab. Sadly it's been nothing but a Bugera Bashathon complete with all the harping about the cab's power ratings. Booring! From Sweetwater;
Power Handling:1600W Peak, 400W Continuous - not bad for a 300 dollar cab. Of course the sound is what matters. Here's a quote from an owner; "This cab is a monster. Top notch build quality, assembly, components, great fit and finish. Reminds me of my Bergantino HT115 and Aguilar cabs in terms of quality of the build. The highly rated Bergantino 115 is probably the holy grail of single 115 cabs. To my ear this cabs sound better and sweeter. This cab bumps with sweet tones galore." WHOA

Well, Uli worked very hard for a very long time to gain that reputation. Sweetwater is just echoing what Behringer has told them. What else can they do? If you seriously believe in Uli-Watts, and you want one, then go for it. And if you do, I hope it works out well for you. I just really, really advise against it bro.

Anyone can write a review. Unless you know the source, proceed with caution, especially when it seems too good to be true. People bought Yugos.
It's 400 watts continuous. That's been established. I have a Behringer 4500H amp and it's a legit 450 watts. It drives my two cabs quite loud.
Jeff, I have no vested interest in what you buy. Whatever you do end up getting, I hope it works out for you.
This begs the question, established by who?

I don't get paid to teach you. Look it up yourself. I get it that people don't like PEAK ratings, I don't either, but if you dig you'll find the RMS ratings.
For what it's worth, Behringer owns Midas, Turbosound, and TC electronics . Maybe they can cross polinate. It's all made in China anyway, but as to the reviewer that compares it to Bergs, I highly doubt that it's even close. Material cost alone indicate that this would be Impossible.
Might be a good bang for the buck. Even with the 400 watt continuous rating, noteably absent is an RMS rating. Also sensitivity, and frequency response.
Conspicuous absence of useful metrics gives pause.

Wow. OK. Well I'm glad I didn't ask you to teach me anything then.
Hopefully they will be able to merge some of the technologies and come up with better products. If they can do that and cease the dishonest marketing, they could become a viable contender in the industry, rather than the butt of so many jokes.
Gears snobs. I had a 30W Behringer BX300 combo and it blew away the comparable Peavey, two of which blew up on me, which is why I bought the Behringer. It was LOUD and the compressor did a great job. My Behringer BX4500H is every bit as powerful as my previous GK 700 RBII. It's also been rock solid, as was the combo. The Veyron is getting rave reviews also even though they advertise PEAK ratings again, which is not lying or cheating by the way, it's just peak ratings. If any of you deny their ratings then it's up to you to prove it. My personal experience with the company is the ratings are legit as anybody else's. Almost all heads fall short of advertised power ratings when measured with an acceptable amount of distortion.
Hardly, I've owned Behringer gear, and like Peavey, at best it's "good for the money"
A solid value brand, but reliability is lacking, .
The x series Digital mixers are some of the best live boards. They were not designed in house though.
The inability to post actual industry specs, including noise ratios smacks of BS marketing.
Yes, and disappointing that they do that. Here are two 1x15 cabinets for sale at Sweetwater for the same price ($299), described as:
"Bugera BT115TS - 1600-watt 1x15" Bass Speaker Cabinet"
- and -
"Fender Rumble 115 - 1x15" 300-Watt Bass Cabinet"
Really, now.
Any REAL WORLD users and reviews. A lot of bashing by non users. I've used quite a lot of Behringer products over the years and have never experienced any of these amazing, catastrophic failures many speak of. From power amps, mixers/powered mixers, PA speaker cabs, guitar and bass amps/combos. Zero failures. Can we all get past the 'specs' already? We know they are peak numbers. That's been established. We know they build and sell to a certain demographic.

So they weren't designed "in house". They manufacture them and sell them. It's not the same company it was 10 years ago any more than Hyundai is, and Bugera is the Genesis of Behringer. Is a Veyron a Mesa? No. Never said it was but the bashing got old a while back. Now does anybody actually have the cabinet cuz I would like some informed opinions.
