Blown HF driver in PA cab

Recommended Posts

One of the PA cabs (peavey pro-15) cabs' HF compression drivers has stopped working. Does anyone know if there would be any harm in putting a full range signal through the 15" speaker as a temporary measure? I would be literally pulling the spade connectors off the HF and putting them onto the 15 along with the existing wires?

I wouldn't if I were you. The best way of getting some more high frequencies from the bass driver would be to connect it directly to the input, making sure the crossover is out of circuit. Doing this will make a difference only if the crossover is actually cutting the high frequency end of the bass driver, which may or may not be the case. It might also make the sound a bit 'middy'.

I don’t thing peavey replacements are all that expensive.[/quote]
That's a useful tip - I'd never have thought of doing that.
