This is a 4X12" guitar speaker cabinet. Built like a tank! Heavy at 102 lbs. SOLID! Mine was made in 2008. It came with Jensen 12/70 speakers. 8 ohms, mono or stereo with two plug-ins on the back panel. Nice metal speaker grill. Heavy duty. 200 watt cabinet. Great value for the price.

The sound it a bit "mid-rangey". I noticed how much mid-range this cab had when I compared it to my Marshall cab with Celestion G12-L35's. The Marshall sounds better, but it also cost much more. This Behringer is a great cab, don't get me wrong. Lots of bass and headroom. I like the angled two top speakers. It's a very good sounding cab, just has a little too much mid-range for my liking. But you have to consider how low the price is on this thing, and also that sound is subjective.

I have been playing for over 20 years. Owned and played many amps, combos and halfstacks, tube and solid state. This Behringer cab is a great deal. You can't beat the price for a heavy duty cab. I own a Gibson Les Paul Studio, a Fender Tele Custom, a Washburn acoustic, a Carvin MTS halfstack, a Crate V33 head, a Marshall 4X12" cab, a Marshall VS232R, and a a bunch of effects pedals-nothing digital, all analog. I like stoner rock and heavy riffs. A big beefy sound through a mahogony guitar with humbuckers. Sound is subjective. But I am picky about sound. This Behringer is a good cab. The only draw back is that is has alot of mid-range tone and that it is so heavy. But the heaviness is also a positive as well. Fortunately it comes with casters. Mine work fine. It rolls very smoothly. Especially for small casters under a 102 lb. cab! Overall, a nice cab. If you don't have $700 or more to spend on a Marshall or Orange or other cab, then this will work great for you. Get the Behringer cab with the Jensen 12/70's. It is worth the extra $20.

I am using BC Rich Neckthrough Guitars Loaded W/ EMG H4 Passives (I don't Like Active Pickups.) and I Have Retired the Massive Poweramp Rack Set Up Because I Got My Hands On A Rivera Knucklehead K-TRE(INSANE AMPLIFIER). My Band Plays In Dropped A Tuning and I use 6 string guitars W/13-56 Jazzwound Strings..this is just to give you an idea of the demands that I am putting on this cabinet. And I can say that This thing is still delivering night after night. and we have played apox. 30 shows since Sept of 07' and 200+ Shows Since I have owned this cab..this cab sounds great. I am considering asking them about an endorsement for the cabs..So I can run 2 full stacks..when space allows..lol..

and it is still the ugliest thing I own..So Torn up and scraped and scratched. ugly as hell..but I wouldn't have it any other way. Pretty gear is for people who don't use the stuff..this thing has a detailed road map of every mile of its entire life torn and scratched all over it...And it is still rock solid..

I have been Playing for 15+ years and I own 7 guitars (2 BC RICH, 2 Fenders, 2 Ibanez, and an oddball D'armmond 7 String)and two rack setup amps, and my rivera k-tre, the behringer 4x12, A line 6 Pod 1.0 w/ Floor board, Pod XT live, 79' Fender Reverb Deluxe, Quite a bit of gear, and this cab is great, I would replace it in a heart beat if it were stolen, and I could at this price, another great feature..handing a marshall cab it's ass and costing 1/3 the price..
its like comparing American Eagle Clothing to Dickies Clothing..
American eagle is more expensive and more people want it..
but when it gets to the nitty gritty the dickies are gonna win because there made to last..nothing to do with a brand name.

I have read alot of reviews of this cab that say it lacks low end..and to get a better cab than this, and I can say from experience that this amp carries more note definition and bottom end than a 1960a marshall cab with a JCM 800 sitting on top of it. this cab is only capable of what you put into it...of course I was running a rack with an obsenely large power amp(2400 watts, big amp+low output=all the power you would ever need,push that cab as hard as it can go)and this cab has been on this power amp for nigh 3 years, and it still screams...I love it!!!

The features are okay, but it is not like it is celestions or anything. The Jensen's are very decent and it sounds good. In the future, if the speakers do fry on Me, im thinking of putting in great speakers on it, maybe Voxes or Celestions. And of course it is just a cab, its a big bulky thing with speakers that makes you sound better and louder.

DUde it is awesome sounding, so far i only gigged with it once, but im starting to become very afraid, because it gave up on some people. Despite that, the sound is very good, as the one guy said, the sound is full, the lows are great, and the highs have defenition. What else can you say, it beats the $300 line 6 once, and the crates, and defenitely a lot of Marshalls, except probably the very expensive and high end once.

This cab is really great for the price. I really love the sound that it gives, and after reading reviews I would take care of this one. I dont want no speakers to blow out on me on some gig, that would definitely stink. This one beats cabs less than 300 dollars, and it truly does make you sound better. IT is great for hard rock and alternative.

Superb! It really has the balls of one of my old Marshall cabs from the 80's.This impressed me big time.I also consider it better because the sound is GREAT from all angles not from just directly in front as those Silly overpriced nowadays Marshalls are.Brutal sound-spread,very efficient speakers in this thing.It does clean or all out raunch with clarity and ease.Not spikey in the highs at all.Nice and smooth,buttery tone here.It really reproduces the sound of your amp,pre-amp.Makes your EQ work like a charm,responsive to tweaks.All in all,a very rewarding tone.Tried it with a few heads and they all sounded distinct and rich.

(all Marshalls)This is a keeper.Decent cabs are going for 700.00 to 1000.00 these days,so this one really wins all the categories.I'm already wanting another.Compare it to a recent Marshall 1960 4x12,it blows it away in price and performance,as well as looks and styling.You simply can't go wrong with this cab.I love it.

I've had this for a bit over a year and while I was never really satisfied with it I didn't really complain about it. I mean, it cost me $250, seriously. BUT, today, it finally shit out on me. The other guitarist in my band got one at the same time as me and his shit out on him a few months ago...what do I mean by "shit out on me"...I mean, the speakers gave out and they're woofing something awful. Very muddy.
So in short, the cab is not poorly made by any means, in fact you could do a lot worse. However, the speakers are the shits. In the first place they're very shrilly and the low end is muddy, but obviously if you're in a regularly gigging band as I am, whether they sound good or not doesn't matter since they have no life in them (barely over a year...inexcusable....).
I'm not going to buy one again, although for the price of the cab you could simply take out the speakers and replace them with whatever your heart desires...since it's a pretty well made cab.
Beware, the thing weighs a TON. Freaking heavy.

I had it for about one year, give or take, and the speakers died on me.
In short, buy this cab if you know what you are doing, want to save some money and will simply replace the speakers. Otherwise, I'm afraid to say it should be avoided at all costs.

I'm your average Joe who plays what he happens to play. I've had the cab for over a year, and have gigged with it countless times. I can tell you that it's black and has 4 12" Jensens, but that's about it. Oh, one thing, and I will detract from the score, the wheels are absolutely retarded! Every one of these cabs that I have seen can do one thing - turn left! Retarded! Ah well, go to Guitar Center and get some Ernie Balls for $20, it works fine now.
I can't give this more than a 7, because well...it's a cab! How many features should it have??? Are there super-duper bells and whistle cabs out there with digital LEDs and special switches and such? I think not. SEVEN.

I've played through Marshalls, Laneys...that's about it, but I've had plenty experience with both of those. The Behringer blows Marshall out of the freaking water. Whereas the Marshall sounds farty, lifeless, not full...this cab has low-end in spades, the highs are very pronounced, and the mids...are mids!
For this price, you can't do better. Unless you get an Avatar, I'm sure. I've heard many great things about 'em.

I've been playing for 10 years, this is the best cab I've ever owned, and for the price, I ain't bitching. I play a Carvin X100B 100w tube head through it, it's simply fantastic. No complaints. I'm sure it isn't the best, and many would avoid it because of the name on the front.
Do yourself a favor, check one out. Massive low end and screaming highs, and stuff. Great value, sturdy as fvck.

4/12 slant cab with jensen speakers.Top 2 speakers angled outward left and right respectively of their position to "fill" the room with your sound.mono/stereo switch is nice to have but honestly havent used it yet except to see if it worked before i bought the cab.400 watts 8 ohms and 200 watts per side for stereo use.(Dont plug a stereo into it, its for "stereo" use of 2 guitarists or 2 amps through the same cab).The casters sucked like stated in every other review and i immediately replaced them.This cab is very versatile to me for my thrash/prog style of metal.I "auditioned" the amp at a music store with my old Hughes&Kettner solid state attax100 head.REMEMBER THOSE? HAHAHA Played through the clean channell with a boss metal zone and the cab ripped me in half!Then i played through the dirty channel w/o the boss and got the same result and actually heard my amp like i have never heard it before, the highs were insane and the lows were tight as ever.Plus the preamp tube was at the time 9 yrs old and heavily abused!! I took the cab home after paying about 310 us dollars and plugged it into my peavey xxx and it sounded even tighter.I have had the cab for close to 3 yrs now.Bought at xmas time 2002.

At the time of purchase i was playing a jackson 1987 strat body guitar with a stock jackson humbucker in the bridge.I playd that guitar as well as an ibanez 1996 saber for close to 1 year without any effects.Just straight through the amp to the cab 8 ohm mono selction.The whole time of use has been for rehearsals with drummer and bassist and the cab fills the room with sound.I was also running the cab with a mesa 4/12 from the same peavey xxx amp and i could hear the behringer over the mesa in any position in the room.2 20 Foot 12 gauge speaker cables to each cab.Mesa in center of room and behringer in the right corner beside the drummer.From where i was standing right inbetween them i could hear the behringer over the mesa.So after 1 year or so i could hear a slight loosening of the low end to the point of "woofing" out so i brought the highs up a little and brought the bass down from 6 to 4 and it cleared right up.Been the same for the past year and not a problem yet.No rattling, woofing, peaking or clipping.It has held up well and im proud to have one in my possession.

Im not sure if i can depend on it in a live gig because i havent gigged yet but the thought has crossed my mind and im sure i wouldnt have a problem with playing live with this cabinet at all.And without a backup as well.Im very pleased with how well and loud the cabinet is and like i said it is louder and has more "thrust" than my old 1991 marshall 150 watt 2/12 (used nowadays for practicing at home with the old h&k) and the mesa 280 watt 4/12.The sound just cuts through like a fireball and is very loud and clear.I have since added a boss chorus pedal and a blues driver and when they are stomped on for my lead sound the sound is very tight and clear with all the picking nuances of my playing intact without any sweetener.I know a lot of the sound has to do with the amp but the cabinet is an extension of the amp and you yourself as well and a behringer cab, for the price( a steal) would compliment any player in almost any style.When playing through the clean channell of the xxx with a boss chorus the sound is amazingly bright and shimmery without any rattle or woof from the speakers.Go and get one you will not be dissapointed!!!!

I contacted a support center in early 2003 out of seattle i think? (SCRATCHES HEAD) To try and find where i can get ahold of a straight cab to compliment the slant and the fellow i talked to (sorry, forget his name) was very friendly and helpful.At the time he took my info and instated my warranty info which is now up but was very worthwhile to call.Well i did get the info on where to find a straight cab and will be purchasing one soon if my budget permits me soon.I look forward to it with much delight.

I have been playing steadily for 12 years and now own a Laney vh100r 100 watt amplifier and play that through the behringer slant 4/12.The cab held up well with the h&k solid state when i auditioned the cab.Played and sounded great with the peavey xxx head for close to a year and a half and now the past 6 months have been just as good if not better because the cab has been broken in and has not wavered from the tone and sound it had when first purchased.Except for the slight "bass woofing" which wasnt that bad and easily remedied.If the cab was stolen of course i would be upset and i would call my posse to look for it and the end result of the culprit i cannot state here hehehehe but i would most definetly buy another one.What i love about the cab is that it has handled everything i have thrown at it as far as amps and effects and the volume has always been at 5 or 6 with gain at 7 or 8.So the loud volume hasnt degraded the quality in the slightest.I recently let a friend play a Krank revolution series 1 100 watt amp that was designed with the helping hand of Mr. Dimebag Darrell (r.i.p)
plug into the cab at full volume and it was quiet, extremely responsive and the tight end was of course of the krank and it tightened up like cold butter.Which is extremely odd being that the cab is of particle board and mostly glued together it didnt seem to want to "break" at all.And still to this day i havent received any rattle from the steel grill in even the slightest.Also changing the casters didnt seem to alter the tonal qualities or sound quality in anyway.My cab to this day looks brand new because it hasnt left the rehearsal room even once and not taking it to different places in different weather conditions has been to my benefit im sure and to the cabs as well.When that changes i will of course come back after gigging for 6 months and leave a new review to let y'all now about any changes in any of the cabs qualities.

this review is about a behringer bg412s ultrastack cab, which is a stereo cab(surround option) , 8 ohm impedance, 400W, jensen equipped 12" .i bought it in 2005 from an online store.in my oppinion it suits just about any style of music, is very versatile, all though the speakers are not the best , they are allright.im give it a 9 because it has any features a cab should have and more, but the speakers are the greatest(celestion 30's or other top speakers).it handles just about any power you drive it.

im using a ibanez rg guitar with several ibanez and boss pedals through my fx loop of the custom made 200W all tube head.
i'm playin' metal , nu-metal , alternative and it sounds good for what i need
.it produces the sound naturally(the way it should) in my oppinion ,so if you have good gear then it will sound the way you want. both clean and distortion sounds good, and I THINK IT HAS ENOUGH LOW END even if others are not satisfied with it.play a bass with distortion if you're not satisfied.i'm tuned pretty low( b,f#,b,e,g#,c#) so i know what low end means.it ratles a lil at high volumes but you wont noticed it unless you want too.for the money is sounds very nice, and can be compared to cabs twice the price.its not noisy, it delivers the sound that come out from your amp, gear..

To all you guy's who have something to complain about the low end (not to piss-off anyone just for info) maybe it is your amp not delivering the low's. I play a very old japanese made, low output ibanez sg through a marshall 9060 (unknown 2x300 watt poweramp) and my house practically shakes apart.

I play mostly hardcore/punk music styles. It is perfect for this stuff. I use a Gibson 56' reissue gold top with P-90's in it, and a MESA BOOGIE 50 cal. plus head. The cabinet holds up just fine with the MESA head, crunch, overdrive, heavy distortion all sound great through this cab. I don't play clean styles at all so I can't say what a good clean sound is and if it sounds good through the cab. I'm sure it sounds great clean though. The top two speakers have a cool sideways angle to them as well as a slant back, this gives a great unique sound to the cab compared to the standard Marshall style 1960 cab's.

I have'nt had this long, but I can't see anything going wrong with it, it's built like a damn tank. The casters DO SUCK. I thought it was just mine until I read the other reviews. It's a tank, it could probably fall off the back of a truck and be fine. Nice steel speaker grill also, much tougher than Marshall's basketweave stuff. Some people have said "a pen or thin object could go through the grille holes". ANYTHING AT ALL COULD GO THROUGH A MARSHALL CAB'S MESH COVER, I KNOW BECAUSE I'VE OWNED THEM..... Common sense here.

I've been playing guitar for 23 years and have owned alot of the big name/big dollar cabinets. In my opinion the sound is the same or better than a Marshall cab. If your a gear nerd or namebrand whore than move on, you won't be happy until you have that 800 dollar Marshall cabinet. So save some money and invest that into a good all tube amp, then hook up this cabinet to it and blow the damn doors down. Don't bother hooking up a solid state head to this cab, they won't sound good. I'm not sure why, maybe the 8 ohm impedence is to restrictive for their power output. But a good 50 watt tube head will make this thing scream....

This is an update to my previous review with the replacement of the jensens and added Eminence Governors. First off, I noticed that when playing loud, there was alot of unwanted cabinet resonance and standing waves or as some like to call "ghost notes" were ringing out in the background too much for my taste. I installed some 2 1/2 inch black eggcrate foam which I got new from ebay also for $35 (im an ebay fanatic.
I want ahead and lined up every angle of the cabinet.

The very first thing I noticed was that the bass response increased dramatically. After turning that down, the sound was much cleaner and the speakers could actually speak without background noise from the cabinet itself. Overall I am very glad that I put insulation in my cabinet and recommend it to everyone who wants to clean up the standing waves. Everything is tighter, cleaner and no more mud at high volumes.
Thanks for reading.

It's a cabinet. 8ohm stereo or mono. Comes with Jensen JCH12/70 speakers which did have some low end before being replaced.

If you like good tone but you are unable to afford the "name" brand then buy this cab, take out the Jensens and replace with 4 Eminence Governor 56oz magnet speakers for $60 each new on ebay. (close sound to the Celestion Vintage 30) Sell the Jensens if you can and now you have very decent guitar cabinet.
Mine is loud as F*%K and has enough bottom end to shake the foundation.

Looks and feels solid enough. Just make sure you don't lose the locknuts when you are replacing those Jensens. Don't get me wrong, the Jensens are decent but if you play hard then you may need something with a heavier magnet.

My only gripe is that I want to expand to a full stack but the BG412F bottom cabinet is set up for 16 ohm and this is only 8ohm, so I will have to replace those speakers also.

Slanting black speaker cab with 4 12" Jensen speakers, 8 ohm impedance, stereo/mono switch, a sturdy metal grill. No passive potmeters for location eq. It's a bargain and for that price, it's got everything you need. Made in China.

Schecter, ESP and Ibanez baritones and 7-strings, rigged with DiMarzio (Evo, Blaze Custom) and Seymour D. (Custom, Jazz). I run it through a Peavey 5150-II head to this cab, no effects (barring a simple noise gate). The 5150 has a specific sound, most notably in the upper frequencies. This cab cuts like a knife, the way it should when playing grindcore, thrash and heavy metal. I've tried a Mesa Recto trad before getting this one, Mesa just didn't cover 4 times it's price. Same with Randall. The Recto had (a little) more low punch but I liked the highs of this one better. There's no setting on the 5150 that this cab can't handle. It sounds very direct, as opposed to the somewhat muffled and distant sound of Marshall 1960 and (to a lesser extent) Mesa Recto. I also tested it with Tech21/TC/Rocktron solid state rack stuff and here's where this cab sounds thin and lifeless.
This cab can't be beaten, certainly not at that price, but you need a full-tube amp head on it. Listen and test it first to see if it sounds good with your stuff, buy later.

It's a tank. The casters were a bitch at first, but nothing a few drops of oil (or replacement) couldn't handle. Weighs about 45 kgs, which is... decent for a 412.

Don't pass this one up if you own (or plan on owning) a full-tube amp head. It's got hands down the best value-for-money rate. See first if it sounds good with your particular rig. Looking over the various reviews here (and looking at my own experience with it) gives me the firm impression that it's critical towards the kind of amp you're going to use on it. It sounds great with Peavey 5150, that's for sure.
Solid state afficionados steer clear, they may rather consider Behringer's small P.A. rigs.

I agree with the previous review and I don't need a sound man to confirm what I already know about this cab. Its not really the cab itself that is the problem. It is the Jenson speakers in it. Harsh is the best word that I can use to describe the tone these speakers put out. I have had it for about a year now. I have gigged with it and quit taking it out because of its sterileness and razor highs. Low end is not there for me either. Solid state amps including rack mounted set ups don't sound good through this. Vintage 30's and G12h30's in 412 cabs sound great through our band rigs. I'm rating the speakers here because that is where the problem is.

Put some decent speakers in this thing and it will be as good as the speakers you buy. The cab is solid and looks good to me. I'm going to score the cab itself here at its price which is a good deal. I wouldn't buy it again though unless it had speakers I liked in it. Jenson's sound bad to me. Maybe you will know someone who likes a harsh sound and sell the Jenson's to him/her.

OK, this is where I differ from most of the reviews. I have no idea how people are giving this cab a 10, or even a 9. In all honesty, if you are used to paying less than $400 for your gear...this cab is fine. If you have a small budget, this cab is probably a good bet. But if you are a true gear freak, you probably already know not to touch this cab with a 10 foot pole. One thing it has...volume. It is very loud, but it lacks bottom end and can be very annoying. It sounds best when used with 1 or 2 cabs that have lots of low end. If you have an old bass cab laying around, it would be a perfect pair. By itself though, it really does sound like a $300 cabinet.
I know it's bad because I got it as an emergency replacement cab for a few shows, and the sound guy actually said, "hey you guys sounded good, but your guitar cab sucks." I give it a 6 only because it's very loud and cheap. Actual sound quality is poor.

You get what you pay for. I know it's been said already, but it's true. You won't see any pro's using this cab, you won't see any pro's using ANY cab under $300. I guess for those of you who are getting started or just play for fun...why bother spending any more if you don't have too?

I don't know what other people are talking about when they give it a 10...because i know it's priced very well and is very decent but they must work for behringer or something.....it's good not that good....Although i don't like comparing it to marshall or mesa I find that the are the industries standards and everything gets compared to them. Although i won't give it a perfect 10...i think this is the best bang for your buck.

This cab has been around atleast since 2002.It's versatile in that I can go from extreme gain to jazz clean and it reproduces my tones perfectly.Has a metal front grill.The top speakers are angled to either side for a wider sound dispersal.Pretty cool.It looks good.Weighs a ton.Has stereo/mono capability.The casters are really bad.They will not go in the direction you push it.Other than that this cab meets my needs.

Ok,one word;awesome!With my rig this cab is unbeatable and my tone is huge.I use a Hamer Vector with Dimarzio sd bridge pup,Boss gt-6 and either a ART dst 80/80 or mosvalve power amp.Either way this setup crushes.I play mostly all original metal.The clean sounds are pristine.The distortion I use is thick and meaty with a little Marshall mid range and abit of rumbly mesa low end.More or less rumble depending on if palm muted and how hard you pick.I am very pleased so far.I just got this last week but have put it through the paces.Low volume-no problem.High volume,even better.For the price you can't beat it.

I don't know when it was made.
This amp handles every type of music I can think of to play on my guitar. Rock, Jazz, Hard Rock, fusion, ect...
It has left and right inputs and is true stereo. The top speakers are facing in opposite directions not only slanting backwards! gives an amazing effect. I can stand 50 ft away from it and its like right my face! I have never heard anything like it before!

I play an Ibanez RG1570 and I use every pickup position constantly. I am always switching tones and going to from clean to dirty and this amp does it like a champ -effortlessly. The beveled speakers have an amazing effect! I can stand 50 ft away from it and its like right my face! I have never heard anything like it before!
Playing rock and metal and everything inbetween this thing really takes the tone of your fingers and amp and lets you hear it. It has virutually no tone interferrence but yet has this 'unique charracter' to it at the same time.
I played an ibanez head through this cab, and then a Line6 cab, then a Carvin cab, then a MARSHALL cab, then a PRO cab, then a PEAVEY cab going back to the Behringer after every Cab change and I give you my utmost truthful response... The Behringer & the old P.R.O. cabs were the absolute best. No shit... They SMOKED the Marshall AND the Peavey. There was n debate about it. So... If you are some kind of Marshall purist or something then put side your ignorance and give this thing a try I am sure you will love it.
