Ive got the non DSP one, no your not wasting your time, just dont expect it to run bass cabs playing dubstep at 2 0hms at full power...

cheers guys, i was going to run 1 on bass and the other on highs. in a band.
I was going to get the 3000 and the 6000 both dsp versions but i would prefer an amp with something in it. I always thought the heavier of the amp the better it is.

Sorry for the hijack, but would the 6000 be goodat powering 2 G Subs loaded with the Celestion ftr 600w with a bit of headroom? At £300 with a 3 year warranty can I really go wrong??

The heavier the amp, the larger the transformer(s) and the more power it can supply. Or its made of lead. Joking aside, these days weight means nothing since modern switched-mode power supplies can be as good as their toroidal predecessors', and Class-D PA amps actually sound decent.

I'm using a bridged NU3000 (equivalent to 1 channel of NU6000) to drive my Seismic 8196 (modified Aura 1808) bass bin.
So long as you don't believe the inflated power claims (call the NU3000 2x600W/4ohms or 1200W/8 ohms bridged continuous, 50% extra for a few seconds) they work just fine. Looking at the test results I wouldn't use the 3000 with 2 ohms or the 6000 with 4 ohms, they're obviously happier at 4ohms and 8 ohms. An NU6000 with an FTR600 Gsub on each channel (I assume this is what is meant, 8 ohm load?) would risk killing the driver, output will be 1200W/ch continuous or 1800W/ch for a few seconds.

Do you know if the NU6000 is defiantly 2 bridged NU3000s? I kinda suspected they were but wasn't sure? I aggree that the NU3000 is not really a 2 ohm amp, very few budget amps are... |

That geezer used one NU3000 to run the whole show, he seemed pretty happy with the result!

Everyone's comments, the power figures, and the fact that the NU6000 can't be bridged (and is rated into 4 ohms, not 2 ohms) suggests it's two bridged NU3000s.
Also much less design effort for Behringer, a higher-voltage class-D amp is harder :-) Sorry I misread the numbers, here are the actual ones for the NU3000: German Magazine test: http://www.tools4music.de/uploads/tx...ringer_low.pdf Discussion of (with some translation): http://forum.speakerplans.com/inuke-...860_page7.html Peak power 20ms/1000Hz 8 Ohm 2x465 4 Ohm 2x870 2 Ohm 2x1700 RMS (sine wave) 8 Ohm 2x312 4 Ohm 2x600 (2x375 after 3 seconds) 2 Ohm 2x1176 (2x750 after 1 second, protect after 5 seconds) So the NU6000 would presumably be: Peak power 20ms/1000Hz 8 Ohm 2x1740 4 Ohm 2x3400 RMS (sine wave) 8 Ohm 2x1200 (2x750 after 3 seconds) 4 Ohm 2x2350 (2x1500 after 1 second, protect after 5 seconds) Still lightweight bargains for about £200 and £300 respectively, tools4music were quite impressed.

6000 is two 3000 in BTL.
Hence running a 6000 into 4ohm or 3000 into 2ohm hard enough will trigger protection. |

Unless you are worried about weight, then plenty great 600 x 600 amps out there that are cool.
OR, Get a Peavey IPR

It just is.
