Have you checked fuses? You may have overloaded the amp and caused a fault internally. I have experienced power supply faults with Mackie products, but it may be a simple fix. Find a local repairer to have a look at it.
It may NOT have a fuse. If too much power was sent or an amplifier drove DC to the speaker, the voice coil may have fried. The specs do NOT brag aboput protection, so it is likely either the speaker is blown or the internal wiring is broken. Open the unit and use an ophmmeter to tesst the speakers.
Peavey uses a protection network and sometimes it gets blown when too much power is sent to the speaker. The speaker may be blown however. Peak power for this is 800 Watts and 400 Program... That is NOT RMS power. Make sure your amp is no bigger than 300 Watts RMS driving this. If you are REAL lucky, maybe a lead has fallen off the speaker... Open the unit inspect and test the components.
There are more than one fuse and they are internal. Replacing the fuse without fixing the cause MAY result in causing more damage to components. The fuse is inside to force one to open the box to repair.
It is VERY RARE for such a change to be beneficial. The cabinets and speakers are finely tuned to work together and the originals are usually just as good performers as anything you can replace them with. If you want a subwoofer you need to get a larger cabinet and preferably a larger speaker. A ten inch speaker for subwoofer use would require a closely engineered cabinet. Best to go to a single powered 15 inch subwoofer (one designed as subwoofer) to run alongside your BR-10's.
It should be able to do this. You would need to put each type speaker on a seperate side and then use either an elctronic crossover or an EQ set to pass only lows into the side for the subwoofer to block sending highs to the subs.
Try Mouser electronics. Their website mouser.com is easy to navigate. The will ship just the one fuse if you need it. If you know the size and type of fuse they are usually the cheapest. You can also try Radio Shack. They also carry a large selection of fuses.
You CANNOT have a stereo set of RCA jacks "wyed" into a single XLR mono input.
The RCA output drivers will "fight" each other. Some things will appear to work, but give poor performance.
You could make a rudimentary passive mixer by putting a series resistor say 1K ohms from each of the RCA's to a common UNBALANCED input of a subwoofer.
The XLR is balanced so that would not really work unless you also have an unbalanced input on the subwoofer.
The right way to do this is to get a cheap two input mixer that has EQ with it and mix your two mains before sending to the subwoofer. You want a little mixer that also has balanced outputs (XLR or TRS) to send to the subwoofer.
UNLESS the subwoofer has EQ in it, you really need to have an EQ in the little mixer so that you don't send high's to the subwoofer... They don't like highs and the sound will suffer.
