Hi Scott,
Its model 264...heres a link to an amazing price on it. I may pick up another one at that price. http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&q=bbe+264
I haven't seen them down at guitar center in years. I was really reluctant to pluck anything down on such a thing but i never looked back after hearing the sound. With the size its easy to vecro it inline. I hook my output of my mixer to this. Then the signal goes to the power amp. If you have an integrated mixer/amp or check to see how you'd hook it up before buying. I would imagaine effects loop.
I have also vaguely heard about the speaker blowing thing. If your pumping out clean signal and not overdriving it shouldn't be a problem. Dirty, distorted signals are a speakers enemy. There is a gain on the unit allowing you to potentially overdrive. I have used mine for about 7 years without any problems thru Community brand 12" mains with a sub...this is for high volume dj'ing!!. I really push them hard. The speakers i bought new and are prob 10 years old.
Best of luck. There may be better prices so look around. I just pulled up the first one that was in english so you could see the unit.
Take Care , Larry
