Kev Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 (edited) i have a trace elliot blx130 combo iv just turned the trace up to about half volume, and played, but when i go low, the speaker crackles, quite loudly, doesnt sound to great, what is that? iv just opened her up at the back and checked connections to speaker, nothing seems loose whats it more likely to be, speaker or head? i know nothin about this Edited April 2, 2008 by BassManKev Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merton Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 Maybes it was loose in the cabinet, you've unmounted and remounted it tighter and gotten rid of the loose bit, or at least made it less loose. If you see what I mean.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev Posted April 2, 2008 Author Share Posted April 2, 2008 ye i do, that could well be it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ped Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 See if there is anything on the speaker magnet or cone. Once I took apart a combo and there was a screw on the magnet which caused a funny noise at a certain frequency... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Final cost - just slightly more than the Bacchus would have been. Good luck with the Trace Kev John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev Posted April 2, 2008 Author Share Posted April 2, 2008 fixed it was the screws mountin speaker onto cab being loose embarrassingly, first time i took it off i noticed screws were slightly loose, so when i put it back on, i left them a bit loose again, as i thought thats how they must go..... n00b ay??
