Peavey Pv 2600 Power Amplifier - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

It's on the rear panel - between the power cord and the on-off power switch.

IS that a 2SD1915 or something else, it looks like an 2SA1022 or NTE2407crosses - Newark Electronics or Mouser might be able to provide you a different cross reference. There are data sheets that seem to indicate a A1022 / NTE 2407 - this one can be found here http://www.mouser.com/Search/Refine.aspx?Keyword=2SA1022 Amplifier Transistor - these are common I think for older amplifiers. If memory serves me right - I probably have a couple old ones I bought to fix a Reel to Reel .

is the amp working, maybe the diode is out...maybe the connection to the diode is broken...

are you using the 1/4 in jacks or the balanced inputs.

This will depend on your Subs. If they have an inbuilt crossover there will be input and outputs on the rear, with the output marked something like 'tops' or 'Output to HF' If you have these then it should be a simple matter of connecting yout amp to the subs and then the mains to the output. If you haven't got a crossover in the subs then you will either need to buy a pair of two way crossovers for the right power and frequency and have these in the speaker wiring or use the amp's inbuilt crossover and run one channel for tops and the other for subs. You will lose stereo but the amp will happily drive a 2ohm load so you should still be able to use all four speakers.

As a starting point clean ALL switches on the back of your amp, including the Stereo/Bridge switch then re-check functionality, good luck.

Hello,Clean all back switches first of all, use a cleaning solution spray and give a 3 shot per switch, then push in-n-out several times each one and check amp functionality again.

Hi,Please be advice that the center output connector is only for BRIDGE mode operation, you should not use that way, try to clean all the back switches with a cleaning solution spray, clean all switches and check amp functionality again in stereo mode.

Here is the service manual, scroll down and clic "Get Manual"http://elektrotanya.com/peavey_pv-8.5c_sch.pdf/download.htmlHope this helps.

Please add more background, which channel stop working?As a blind advice, try to clean ALL back switches, including Stereo/Bridge Switch, let me know your results.

Soft start relay circuitry fail, take apart the top plate and when you turn the amp on check for a "Click" in the power supply relay, if not there's your issue.

Back switches cleaning should do the job, if the two green lights show up at amp's front plate.

Hello,Would you please add more background to improve help?

Hi,Please state the subs impedance, but assuming 4 subs with 8Ohm Voice Coil you CAN'T run them in parallel in Bridge Mono because this amp's minimum impedance is 4Ohm in bridge and 2Ohm stereo, maybe a series/parallel connection work, but what's the advantage to run them in Bridge mode? This amp delivers 900W per channel at 4Ohm, you can run a pair paralleled for each channel in a safe way and without the high-risk of your amp being destroyed, besides, amp power at 4Ohm Bridged is NOT recommended for continuous use, let me know your results...

One channel got fried, let me know a bit more.

Hello, It maybe the pots but i strongly recommend that first clean all back switches including the Bridge/Stereo switch which it has to be outwards to stereo listening, then let me know your results to help you out more.

Hello,Check the back switch named "Bridge/Stereo" IN for Bridge and Out for Stereo, should be out for the two channel operation, but first clean all back switches with a cleaning solution spray and let me know a bit further to improve help.
