your bedroom? Why do you need so much power? Some people have had problems with Behringer but alot of people use their amps. If you buy I would get it from partsexpress though, better cust support if something goes wrong. Well i cant say better, no exp with musiciansfriend but PE fricken rocks.

that is gonna be loud as **** in a bedroom, really 500w and a 15 is more than plenty to vibrate dust off your ceiling, a room/house is a whole different world than a car, but power is nice headroom for watching movies and you get some 20hz dinosaur footsteps. Jusr prepare for people to *****

like i said a room is different, if you were doing HT with IB subs thats another story, in a bedroom you wont need half that power and honestly probably will never get the chance to use it. But if you have the cash then buy it, atleast you will have it for the future

I have seen them tested and if you need an extension cord you need a heavy duty one from a hardware store or you have some voltage/wattage loss. They run best on 220. Come to think of it what size is the breaker to your room. Using it to full potental you might kick a breaker
