rob Posted October 17, 2003 Report Share Posted October 17, 2003 Awww man! I think one of my speakers in my trace elliot 2X10 bass cab has busted! I don't think its blown cos' the speakers still intact, but when I turn it up loud, I can't feel any air being pushed out of the bottom one. I havet used it in a while, but I remember it being louder when I got the vol. on 1, and my peavey micro bass combo sounds louder! This has come at a real bad time if any thing bad has gone wrong, cos' I got no money and I just blew the speaker in my shitty 1X15! so I got no more cabs! If any one has got any advice on how i can tell whats wrong, I'd be grateful. Thanks Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tsl602000 Posted October 17, 2003 Report Share Posted October 17, 2003 First you've gotta make sure if there's still sound coming out of that speaker. Could be anything.... loose wire maybe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob Posted October 18, 2003 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2003 yeah I dont think theres any sound comin out cos when I turn it up loud, I can see the speakers moving, but the bottom one isn't moving, so do you reckon it could it could be a lose wire? How would I find it and correct it? Thanks Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drak Posted October 19, 2003 Report Share Posted October 19, 2003 If the voice coil overheated and fried, or got thrown off-center and jammed, the speaker would still look 'normal', but be roastie-toastie. Say bye bye Just pull it apart and have a look-see, if a wire came off, it should be pretty obvious. If the wires are connected and connected well, at both ends, speaker is probably gone. You could also look on the back side of the connectors, you will see the two wires going to the voice coil, if either one of those came off, that would do it too. Be careful, they're kinda delicate... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob Posted October 19, 2003 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2003 ouch, so if I carefully take the speaker out and have a look, I shoud be able to tell whats up. Is there any way to get it repaired if it has gone? And could I rewire the cab(if one of the speakers has gone) so it would still be 8 ohms? Thanks, Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drak Posted October 19, 2003 Report Share Posted October 19, 2003 I have all of my re-cones done by WeberVST. You might have someone local to you tho... No way to re-wire to 8, but your mismatch is at 100% right now, it 'should' be OK, try not to max it out tho...hard on the OT. Old Fender OT's were heavy duty and could stand a 100% mismatch OK, I'm not sure how well built the OT's in more recent amps are... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
