Faulty Crossover?

#1 Post by brown18 »

Hey guys, thought id see if any of you have an idea regarding an issue with my speaker. So ive got these old passive Peavy 15" and horn cabinets that are just used as backups...anyway one of them has an issue with the built in crossover. It has inputs for High, Low and full range. Now when we use full range the horn doesn't work but both High and Low separately work fine. Would this suggest a faulty capacitor? I haven't gone as far to pull it apart yet, thought id ask first. Ideally a cheap fix would be the first plan, otherwise new xover module.

Cheers :D

First, just make sure that the wires from the crossover haven't come loose.

Then, if you can't see any obviously burnt components, look for broken solder connections (if it has a PCB).
