 I have a pair of peavey sp2, one of the horns has stopped working. Is there a way to test for problem...can I order parts directly from peavey ? or must I go through a store... sp2 not in warranty...... would I have to replace the entire horn or is there a field fix... thanks

Nice thing about Peavey is they have field replaceable diaphragms for the hors & baskets for the woofers. http://www.americanmusical.com/item--i- ... X22DK.html This will work fine as a direct replacement. Just be careful installing & follow the instructions. |

Yup you can put a digital ohm meter across the horn coil.. It will be about 8 ohms.. The reason I say digital is it uses less than .6 volts unless you have it in the diode mode.. We used to check the phase on speakers with an ohm meter > see which way the diaphragm moved.. It shouldnt hurt new horns with an old ohm meter but Id rather not.. This is out of a JBL The coil wire is a very small guage This one didnt show any visual signs of being bad but it ohmed infinity.. Open...

Generally when a horn stops working - it's the horn. Rarely it's because of the crossover blowing - which does happen on occasion. |

This may be dumb but..... I was using a pair of SP2's that weren't mine once. I had a problem with the horn not working on one of them. I was in an odball situation where one of the cables I was using had a speakon connector on the end that went into the speaker (other cable was 1/4"). Turns out that the on the SP2 if you plug into the speakon connectors, you are biamping, and I just happened to connect to the woofer. Again, I know it's kinda dumb and not likely your problem, but I just thought I would throw it out there. |

Good theory, however he said 1 stopped working - which would indicate that it was working with the way he was connecting it. Which leads to believe he blew most likely the driver - although possibly the crossover (but unlikely). |
