Rogueporn Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevie Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 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'.

ironside1966 Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 Sometimes when a HF driver blows it can be fixed quite easily. if the driver is blown at the start of the coil take a few windings off and re solder. Not always possible but worth a try. I don’t thing peavey replacements are all that expensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
