OK folks, I gave this cabinet a poor rating just when I got this cabinet because the speakers sounded very thin and tinny. Well, I'll let you know right now " you have to break these things in" After several weeks of playing at moderate volumes the cones have broken in. The sound has now changed from tinny and thin to a more solid bass and mid tone. I take it Bugera does not burn in these speakers before they install them. The only thing I would tell Bugera is to burn them in (meaning let the paper cone flex for several hours before installing) before installing them. It made a hugh diffence after break in. They actually now have as much bass and mid tones as my fender twin' s Jensen speakers. Anyone buying these need to realize they need to break in before you'll get the real sound.

The other guitarist in my band has been using this cab while he's trying to save up for the custom made cab that he wants. I've ran a Peavey 6505+ and a Carvin V3 through this amp and it really isn't as great as everyone has said. While I do believe it is an excellent option for an entry level guitarist, this is definitely not an option for someone who is looking to legitimately gig. This cab has the worst mids I've ever heard in a cab, they're very dominant and do not respond well to mid adjustments on the heads. The high end is very minimal unless you blast the treble and presence which would give you a crap tone anyways. That said, if you're looking for a very deep muddy bluesy tone, this would be a great cab for you. Clean tones aren't too bad either, but if you play metal, forget about it. The build quality is pretty decent, we've beaten the heck out of this thing and its held up quite well. Overall, for the price, I'd say it's pretty good, I like the Jet City 4x12 much much better than this cab and it's only slightly more expensive.

Very poor quality components. Do not buy it, you will be disappointed. Very easily scratch the vinyl. You hear something free within the cabinet. Poor Sound.

Comments about Bugera 412H-BK 200W 4x12 Guitar Speaker Cabinet:
This is a full size 30x30x15 slant cab. Features are exactly as listed. That said It sounds amazing with my Vox, Marshall, and Bugera Infinium 333XL Heads...I bought this with the idea of a back up to my 412 Mesa Boogie rig, but, it will be on the frontline and my ole Boogie Nomad Rig can stay safe at home ... This cab is just packed full of punch, clarity, and tone....and at this price and quality level you can't go wrong... I am not saying this is the absolute best cab money can buy...I am saying it is a very good cabinet period... very usable and maybe even a little inspiring.... I expect that this Cab will sound even better over time as the speakers finish their break in. If you are running anything less you are missing out on the depth and feel you could have now.

All in all, keep looking...Spend a couple hundered more, and buy something that you know you can rely on.
It is convienient that you can switch between 8 ohm and 16 ohm ratings.
The speakers in this cab are not meant to be used by a serious musician. At high volumes, even on a clean channel, the speakers release a funny buzz that preceed every note played. This is a rather large problem if you plan to record. Even through $1000 heads, this amp manages to blur tone into a messy cough. I am not going to bother buying new speakers, but i feel that if they were replaced, much better tone could be achieved.
Its hard to find a 4x12 for this price, so it wins in this catagory.

Go somewhere else for a cabint.
So. I purchased this cabinet at my local music shop. At the time I was between jobs and really looking for a value. I read up on this cabinet, saw a few okay reviews. Most of my intel had come from the Bugera site itself. This cabinet was made out to be a FANTASTIC value. Tons of people said it was great, a few said it was moderate, and even fewer expressed absolute disgust. Time to divulge my very own input.
The speakers loaded into this cabinet are almost as bad as those found in a first act amplifer. They sound thin and weak, kind of like a paper bag. Gain causes these things to get really muddy, and you can barely tell what is even being played in serious dropped tunings. They give the impression that they are begging for you to just end it. You probably should. Put them out of their misery and replace them with something better. Eminence legends would be nice.
The actual cabinet construction itself is decent. I have dropped mine out of the back of our trailer once, and it is still structurally sound. The built in wheels are kind of inconvenient. Turning corners makes this thing want to tip BAD. May as well have just thrown on casters. Seriously.
I guess if you REALLY need a cabinet like I did, this will work. Just hope the sound guy at the gig is bad. You can blame your terrible tone on him. But don't really do that. This is an "in a pinch" cabinet. Maybe okay for a kid wanting something flashy to show his friends. Will not hold up on tour or on a serious show schedule. Save your money. Borrow someones cabinet, do anything but buy this with the intent of it being your primary rig.

Comments about Bugera 412H-BK 200W 4x12 Guitar Speaker Cabinet:
I figured for the $250 some dollars I wasn't going to get much but this is just awful. The speakers have absolutely no bass response,even with the bass all the way up. So I started investigating. I had also bought a bugera 333xl ampand hopingit wasn't the amp, I plugged it into my fender twin reverb speakers (jensens) and holy crap it came alve. So with that said I fugured the speakers are crap. Yep after getting the back off (which the plastic jack plate was broken in one corner) there were these beautiful (sarc) 4 ohm 50 watt speakers. They even look cheap (the magnets were3/4 the size of the jensens and even the baskets looked like cheap stamped sheet metal). held in with 4 screws and not bolts (really could the spare the hardware). The cabinet is made out of MDF (particla board) which is ok. I have used MDF to build stereo speaker cabinets (using 18" JBLs) and they have held up pretty good (although they were not traveling from gig to gig). Using this for gigging, in and out of vans and trucks,I wouldn't garrantee that the MDFwould stand up over the wood.So now I'm in rebuild mode. If you ever need to replace the jack plate good luck, the cut out is not the typical standar size, off by .5 inches wide.So with that said the jack plate is going, the speakers are being replaced with either celestions V30 or eminence. The only thing nice I have to say it looks good from the front, just don't turn it on.
I know the price is cheap but, the old saying goes you get what you pay for, and you are getting $250 worth.
There is probably $100 worth of raw materials and really thats all its worth

Comments about Bugera 412H-BK 200W 4x12 Guitar Speaker Cabinet:
I got one of these for christmas this year, and i was really quite surprised at how great it sounded. I run a Kustom 30 watt amp through this cab and it sounds great!! It can get just enough low end and also great highs. I wish that this cab came with wheels on the bottom instead of the side (reason for 4 on features) but overall this is definitely a great starter cab. Buy it NOW!!
Comments about Bugera 412H-BK 200W 4x12 Guitar Speaker Cabinet:
WOW! I was really skeptical about a cab in this price range but I have to say it blows away Marshall and Raven low priced cabs. It sounds much more expensive than it is. Is it the best cab around? No. But for the money you get way more bang for your buck. I'll eventually throw in some Eminance Man O Wars but for now I am quite happy with this cab.
Comments about Bugera 412H-BK 200W 4x12 Guitar Speaker Cabinet:
I've had this cab for about 2yrs now and i love it! i pair this up with my 5150 and its brutal! not to say it sounds bad with the bugera's, thats what its made for! but it sounds amazing with my peavey! my only complaint was that bugera didnt make a straight cab at the time, but guess what?.....they do now! and for the price how can you go wrong? its got a great balance, not to much treble, not to much mid and not too much bass, just right. think of it like the rockfield of guitar cabs: affordable and good quality. get one now!
