There's got to be a niche for an aftermarket front panel kit; a bit more involved than a panel swap, as the vu + pots sit forward of the chassis, but there appears to be ample space to relocate them.

Anyone tried this (not that they'll admit to it)?

Perhaps the panel is on purpose?  To stop pro people using them and bringing the national grid to it's knees, or destroying the entire UK stock of generators.Wink

From personal use of them on mates set, I know they definitely do 1kwpc @ 8 ohms.

Personally, would not ever use them at 4 ohms stereo..

Waiting for lab test on the 12000, but logic dictates,  they should do solid 2kwpc @ 4 ohms, downto 30hz.

Solid, as in, embarrass a lot of brand name  lightweights, rated at 3kwpc @ 4 ohms.  <wink>

Here is why the INUKE is not a professional category amplifier and kills music, sound quality.

- INUKE power supply injecting large current harmonics to the mains (NO PFC)
- Output frequency response is UNPREDICTABLE on real speakers (while perfect on resistive load..)
- Output waveforms, distortion are load type dependent due uncontrolled output filter, voice and singers like got nausea
-  Improper cooling structure (no heatsinks)
- Vulnerable circuitry in electrical and mechanical means, lack proper of protections
- Power levels are nowhere near what is advertised

Viktor needs to stop with this berry bashing - it's a budget amp for heaven's sake.
If the inuke amp costs as much as the PKN, then yes fire away. Not when the inuke costs almost a fifth of the equivalent PKN or touring grade amp.
Im buying an inuke and it's going to make me money.

have to be honest iv only heard [knowingly] a pkn amp once a and errrr it was a spare used when an inf8 got broken by someone plugging a speakon from ch1 into channel 2 [not my mistake i laughed alot when i saw it tho] and i was not realy that impressed with the pkn, was on a par with ffa etc not a fan tbh hope to be proven wrong tho but the sound quiality was a noticeable step down from the inf8 tbh like all class d i guess

I've said this somewhere else, I swapped some heavyweights for the inukes, I run them 4r 45 to 150 and they are ok, of course they put some crap in the signal, of course they are not pkn/powersoft, but I run them to death and they still keep giving, for £250 what is there to complain about? I run my subs 45 and below with ca18s, I swapped out my ca 12s for the inukes and most say they sound more aggressive and harder hitting, at £750 for three amps with three years warranty I don't care, however, they will not deliver at 30hz and compared to crests on mid top they are pants.

how you finding the kd? i might end up with a couple of the 3000 running our 186 horns and been wondering what they are like
also there is a switch for the input sensetivity? or is the spec sheet just a garble? lol

 To be honest it's a good little amp, it's powering a a pair of 15+1's so nothing demanding but it's got a surprising amount of grunt especially when you consider it's no bigger than an lms, I've had it nearly a year and had no reliability issues, it does get quite warm when idling which was a bit worrying at first but when it's under load and the fans kick in it cools right down. As said it sounds a bit brighter than a 'traditional' amp but on bass this is obviously going to be a non issue. I've ran big heavy 3u amps for years but my days of lugging those about are long to be honest after hearing what this little Kam can do which I think is testament enough really. Oh, and definately no switch for sensitivity, I've just looked.Smile

lol on the spec sheet it says 1v 0.77v and 32db gain which cant be true without it being switchable lol thats the issue i got atm. sounds like im gonna have to get a couple and get someone to bench them to find out the input sensetivity lol 
good to hear they do the job tho i like this :-)

Sooo.
To boost my little system.
Im planning on building two scoops putting
RCF LF18G401 in them.
And hang them off of an NU6000.
It will be around 900€
Can you guys recommend any better for this kind of money?
Or should i just go and hang myself? XD

But srsly is it worth it or not what do you think ?

There are better Scoop drivers than RCF LF18G401.

1x Void V18-1000 18", per channel off INUKE 6000, should be plenty loud in Superscooper 18, or Staiper MS18 mini Scoop MK2.

No way finding v1000s here.
Any idea of better drivers for superscooper that i can actually buy here?
PD -s are a little too expensive for me.
Or should i just save up so i can buy PD-s? If i want decent scoops?

Also i think i will ditch the nu6000 for my plan ad go for
Proline 3000. Double the price but i read good things about the Proline 3000 and if everything goes well maybe i can attach 2 more scoops on the proline ?? maybe ?
:D it should handle a 4 ohm load with ease and maybe spank 4 scoops. Dont know yet but i hope it can.
Anybody using proline 3000 here is it good??? or can i find a better amp for 700€?

(Thank you for the answers in advance and please save me and my wallet by not recommending me amps and drivers with a price tag of an arm and a leg :DD)

B&C TBX100 and indeed proline 3000 or even better and maybe cheaper found second hand, QSC MX3000 or so. Don't mind the wattage rating, fire a QSC MX/EX up on your 18" drivers and you will be satisfied :D.

Oberton 1600 will work in above Scoop.

But above Scoop needs more bracing.

Just skip the PD1850 or Void V1000. Ok, they are good drivers, but cost 500€ , weigh 30 kilo and have 1kw RMS rating.. It's outdated overpriced tech. There are way better solutions , and especially in that price range! The b&c will be a good driver. Maybe look at faital Prro 18XL1800 if you are willing to spend 500€ for a driver. PD1850 vs new neo dymium drivers is a bit like crown ma5000 vs Powersoft K20.........

I think you got the pricing a bit wrong there. I would say that Void V1000 is on of the best in it's price range (That's if you can get your hands on one). Outdated tech? Don't think so...

Now my problem is that the shipping cost is more than a 100€ for any of the speakers mentioned above (for the ones that are 20kg like the void and oberton).
The Faital Pro 18XL1800 is not that heavy but it costs more. So really doesnt matter which one i chose because with shipping fee im going to be around 500€.

So my plan was that i get everything from thomann and if im above 400€ they pay for the delivery, im getting the proline 3000 from them which is also 40kg and would be again a ton of money to ship it from the UK to Hungary.

So im wondering if you can find a good driver for the scoops that are mantioned above or for the superscooper,   that thomann sells.

Thomann has some PD-s and a lot of others maybe there is a good driver ?! around 350-400€? Or maybe I have to go higher in price? :(

Btw thats why i was thinking of the B&C 18SW100 because thomann sells it and its also under 400 €

My comments on the inuke 6000dsp. I've had one now for just over 3 years and untill recently was very happy with it. Just before the 3 year warranty had expired the amp started to play up (fans stopping, music cutting out briefly with red lights then back on again. I sent the amp back using Thomann return.
After a "service", which detailed parts replaced and general testing written in German, I had the amp returned (to the wrong address, but that's a different story).
Last night I played out for the first time with the "serviced" amp. After about two hours the amp cut out very briefly, did it a couple more times before the red rings of comma state settled on it's ugly face, about 30 mins before the end of the show.
I have written to Thomann service people and await a reply. Where do I stand? It seems as if they
have done nothing to "fix" the amp despite the service report. It is now of course out of warranty.
If I was that cynical I could think that they had not really made an effort to repair the amp knowing that
it would soon be out of warranty anyway. A big multi-national company like music group wouldn't behave like that would they?Shocked

I personally recon if you are going to use these:

Have a spare (that goes for any amp)
Keep it 3 years and sell it for 50% of cost at least it seems
Buy new

Yeah I guess I got my three years from an amp that cost me quite a bit less than they cost now. I would still look to repair it if possible.
It was mostly running a 4r load as bass in a four way system, never really made to sweat though. On Saturday it was running a pair of  8" tops at 8r well below battle volume in a small open air bar. It got used as the amp for single amp events also, because of the weight and built in dsp. I really quite liked it while it was working.
If anybody knows of any common problems to check, my electrical knowledge is pretty limited but I could have a look under the bonnet. Or is it just a not very heavy door stop now?

Bad solderings maybe (typical for RoHS, not quite long lasting), or bad capacitors.  
I have some Thomann T-amps, all of them required some resoldering work.  I also have few old QSC "iron" amps, those are lasting forever.

Sounds like your Behringer came from the first faulty batch. Many were sold and a lot of people had similar issues. I would try and ask thomann for a new one. They know about the original bad batches because a friend I know sent two back to them. Nice amps when they work correctly!

Yes I have been very happy with my lightweight dsp amp. I haven't had a reply from thomann yet and the 3 year warranty has just expired (I believe while it was in their service dept). I'll give it a couple of days for them to reply. It does upset me that their R&D department for built in obsolescence seems to have hit a bulls eye on my particular amp. No need to really fix the thing if the warranty has expired before it leaves the benchUnhappy

That's not how warranty works, if you report a fault before the expiration date it is to be fixed under that warranty, whether the unit reaches them or not.

I know Berry Inukes sound good at 8 ohm stereo, but still not bought any personally, due to this very likely occurrence.

I'd be more likely to buy an SAE, or more expensive Lab copy.

The unit was "fixed" under warranty but only gave me 2.5hrs of action before being in need of further
service. I guess something was missed or the testing was not thorough enough? I'm sure they carried
out the work as detailed in the report but it seems they some how missed the core problem causing the fault. I have written to Thomann and await a reply, let's see what they say.


Posted By: eyeT
Date Posted: 29 December 2017 at 2:06pm
Well they replied and although the Amp is out of warranty, there is six months warranty on the last repair, it being the same fault. They sent me the label so I hope to get it off early new year.

For what it is worth, I have been running a pair of CW218 Yamaha’s doing techno with an INuke 6000 for a few years and never had an issue. I’m building my first pair of GSubs and will see how it does with the better drivers, but overalll I’ve got my money’s worth.

I originally bought mine refurbished and didn’t completely trust it, so snagged a 2nd one used when a deal popped up. I’ve never used the 2nd one really, but will see how many chances I get to use both.

I only wish these things had a built in way to daisy the signal from amp to amp so it was easier to get all the subs on the same mono signal. I don’t regularly do sound outside my own events so by no way do I put them through pro usage.
