ArcaNe Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 Hi! I’ve acquired a Ashdown combo but there seems to be no sound output from the speaker, I’ve tested the headphone and the ext speaker out and they both work I’ve took the amp apart and checked for loose connections and all seems to be in order, any ideas what it could be?

TheGreek Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 (edited) May be the obvious...did you check the wire to the speaker? Is it the speaker itself? Edited February 22, 2018 by TheGreek Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArcaNe Posted February 22, 2018 Author Share Posted February 22, 2018 Yeah mate, all the connections are intact Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norris Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 Can you hook the speaker up to another amp to check it's working? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghost_Bass Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 Try this: Remove the wires from the internal speaker from the amp's PCB. Connect those internal speaker cables to the external speaker out - you'll need to fashion a cable with a jack/speakon to connect to the ext speaker plug ans bare wires on the other end to wrap aroung the internal speaker wire lugs - try it. If it doesn´t work: - bad speaker or wire, needs fixing or replacing. If it works: - problem with the PCB not sending signal to the internal speaker >>> ckeck for dry solders or take it to a tech. - problem with the headphone jack, most likely the lug that mutes the amp when connecting the headphone has become loose ang got stuck in a mute position >>> probably not this issue as you said that the ext speaker out is working, it should be muted too.
