Re: Behringer EP4000 - Naked Pics - Fan Mod - ETC

Very nice. I haven't gotten around to hacking up my gear, I either build it DIY from scratch or leave it alone

But this sounds like a worthwhile mod. The main knock on pro gear is noisy fans and this solves it.

Yah - the funny is thing is as I did this mod down in my basement workshop at home I could literally hear my other EP2500 dual amps running over 15 feet away as my wife was using the main AV system upstairs and the amps were running (I have the EP2500s mounted behind the wall of the main system in the stairway leading down to the basement). When I initially plugged in the EP4000 to test out the new fan it was near silent....I immediately assumed I screwed up installing the new fan as the amp was dead quiet and I figured the new fan was probably incorrectly installed. The difference is enormous to say the least.

Hey OP here - sorry I haven't replied for awhile - I have not been receiving updates to posts that have been made to this thread - ANYWAY - the EP4000 and EP2500 seem to be exactly the same to me (I own 2 ep2500 and 2 ep4000) - if your EP2500 dies (which I doubt it will unless you absolutely torture it) you will find the EP4000 is every bit as good although I would not say it is any better/different than the EP2500 I think Behringer simply renamed the EP2500 to the EP4000 and changed the power rating to "max output" ratings which do not mean much. I have noticed the EP4000 seems to have been bumped up in price since I purchased mine from Zzounds.com. I would seriously recommend anyone who wants an EP4000 to call zzounds LIVE and talk to a rep - you would be surprised how much they will come down from website prices over the phone. Zzounds even further reduced my DCX2496 over the phone with hardly any pushback. Worth a call to a live operator.....I am not spamming zzounds in this post - just want others to know how decent they were to deal with for me personally and encourage you guys to pick up the phone and call them before you commit to anything. No matter what I am still thrilled with my Europower amps and even created a line of Behringer power amp tshirts I sell on my own website since I am such a satisfied customer! Have no fear - this is one Behringer product you will be thrilled with.
