USE A OIL FILTER WRECH AND REMOVE THE COMPRESSION DRIVER IT UNSCREWS BUT IT IS TIGHT. THEN YOU CAN GET TO THE SCREWS. TAKE THE WOOFER OUT IS THE BEST WAY TO DO THIS

Removing a magnet from a tweeter is oftten fatal to the voice coil or element in piezo drivers. If you can see the screws, often a right-angle driver may be able to remove them.

Speaker rattle

Yes, but you need to replace the entire speaker. The 1505 and 1508 use a different magnet though they look similar..

I have a blown tweeter on my SP3 and I want to replace it but I don't know how to get it out of the enclosure?

There are a number of versions of SP-3, but normally you would remove the screws holding the horn into the cabinet, take out the horn and then unscrew the driver from the horn. At that point, either replace the diaphragm on the driver or the whole driver.

On my peavey pro 15 neo speakers i don't know which wire is for what. What is the black, red, blue and yellow wires for?

black and red will goto 1 speaker. and blue/yellow to the other. typically red and yellow are + and black and blue are -. the crossover board might tell you which is which where they solder to it. but i'm pretty sure the black/red goto woofer. try hooking up both to woofer and listen to it. 1 way is going to sound horribly wrong lol. that will mean you hooked up the tweeter leads to the woofer. but DO NOT HOOK UP WOOFER LEADS TO TWEETER. thats why i say to do it on woofer.

Hi, I need to know how do you replace the 1" compression driver in a mackie thump th-15 and where would i get one from ? cheers.

After removing the back cover disconnect the tweeter cable form the terminal. Then hold the tweeter magnet and turn it anti clock wise. The driver unit will unscrew and come of the horn assembly.
Keep the driver unit on a firm table and unscrew the four + screws. It has a sandwich assembly which will part into two if you put a sharp knife and twist. You will see the tweeter diaphragm which can be lifted up again by using a sharp knife. The replacement diaphragm is available from the below given address

What is the fuse name/type

those are Red Dot Lamps. people most comonly know them as red dot fuses, ( whatever ) it just goes on the crossover to protect your hfd. if it blew you might want to take time to check your Tweeter.

I need replacement crossover because they got burn

The crossover in these is very simple and if it is burned, likely your speakers, maybe both, the woofer and tweeter have been damaged and need to be replaced. Test the speakers before changing the crossover. You MAY NOT notice the damage until you start driving the speakers again. The voice coil of the woofer is a common thing to fry, and while it may not open up, often it becomes unbonded to the coil form and rubs the magnet pole pieces. The tweeter/horn often wipes out the diaphram or blows the element open. Some of these are piezo horns and they can sometimes survive. These are rated at 100 Watts and if your amp can deliver over 50 watts you have to be careful to not put too much power into these. I have several of the Kustom 10 inch ones and several of the 15 inch ones... Also I have two 15 double stacks and they all seem to use the same crossover. Believe me, the crossover is far from what I would call "special" like the advertisements say. As an electrical engineer I was very disappointed. Anyway, test your speakers as they may be the worst of the problem.

Titanium high frequency drivers not working. Is there a fuse in crossover?

i) I believe you can access the fuse by removing the Input Jack Panel.

ii) If fuse is OK, then unscrew the horn unit, take off one speaker wire & measure resistance. If it is open circuit then you can order a replacement horn diaphragm (if you feel confident to fit it to the horn).

What kind of fuse does peavey pr15 passive use

Here is a site that has PR15 fuses... shown as a 2.1 amp. Very strange value, and it must strictly be for the tweeter portion as 2.1 amps is nothing for a speaker... I don't know that I believe this site.

If you have a Guitar Center near you, inquire there.

Peavey PR15-D Powered speakers, Power on but no sound.

Check for impedance ( resistance) in ohms on the speakers disconnected from the circuit using a volt/ohm meter. I think the woofers are 8 ohms and the tweeters are 8 ohms. Also check for bad solder joints where the jacks are soldered to the circuit boards.
