Hi,I have 2 sp2 cabs,getting sound thru the horn but none to the speaker,any ideas ? thanks

The lamp bulb fusing is just on the horns. Check the Black Widows individually with an ohm meter for continuity. If the speakers themselves test OK, you most likely blew the crossovers. Peavey service (877-732-8391) can rebuild most of therir crossovers in house and they generally are cheaper to fix than replace.

there are 2 of them in the new ones....but ya probably the blew diaphrams...unless they are old one...then it could still be in the crossover..need to know the exact SP2 model you have, as they have changed the speaker again and again over the years.

diaphrams, the high input is a direct connection the the horn.

Ok,

First of all i need some more information, such the power amp you've hooked to them rating in watts and please specify if you are not getting sound from tweeter or 15" BW speaker or both of them, this way i can improve accuracy helping you out.

High side speaker input jack defective, as they are switch also and if you plug the wire from the amp in full range and no hf sound but connecting directly to the bi-amp hi does, then your female 1/4 plug at crossover is defective for sure.

These cabinets are self contained and you do not use a crossover with them. The speakers do NOT come out to separate connectors. You just drive these with an amplifier. DO PAY ATTENTION to the power rating... you are safe using an amplifier with a MAXIMUM of 150 Watts RMS per speaker cabinet. More than that and running them loud and you will be replacing the speakers. These will cover a 40 foot square room at comfortable level.

They have a "soundgard" protection network that uses a polyfuse and an automotive lamp. Open the unit and check the circuitry. Both the polyfuse and he lamp may be blown. Do ohmmeter check of these, otherwise the horn is blown.

Either components in the SoundGard circuit are blown or the horn driver... VERY SLIGHT chance wires have become disconnected. Open unit an inspect. Use ohmmeter to check the polyfuse and the lamp for open circuit indicating they are blown. Your amplifier should be rated at NO MORE than 150 Watts RMS continuous for safety of the horn. Speaker ratings are based on advertising... so don't believe the specs on power handling... If you dig into the specs you will find for the horn a max of 150 Watts continuous.

does the cab have a horn like the one in the photo if it does then you must think again.

you must try to get a replacement crossover or get a speaker geek to fix it for you its not so hard you can get the burnt out components fro radio shack / maplin so on. most of the blown components will show damage or smell like they are burnt because thats what they are.

the cross over plays a very important job in the fact that it filters of the top frequencies so you only get subs on the bottom 12's bass / mid on the top 12's and hi frequencies on the horn.

you will loose all the quality if you go direct and could easily blow things up especially the horn.

this speaker cab looks like a Kenny i had and when working then they are fantastic. i blow one of the sub 12's and the cross over survived so unplug the speakers and test them 1 by one with a little power from an amp and a small amp that does not matter if it gets damaged

The question is whether or not you get any sound from the horn when in full-range. If so, then either the input jack for the horn is defective, or you are not passing the signal. A quick check would be to send the full-range signal (at low volume) to the high-freq input. You should hear the horn work. If not then the connector is defective on the crossover board.

If you get no sound from the horn in any configuration, then the coil is blown for the horn. This can be replaced. It is usually a 22a or 22ti diaphram

Let us know what you find.
