Try connecting them to another amplifier...you can use the speaker output of a guitar amp as a quick test. If the amp (and mixer) check OK, it sounds like you are about to become good friends with your local speaker reconing shop.

Remember...Distorted Audio Can Kill Speakers even at low volumes. It happens because sine waves become square waves. Google it for additional information.

I have a peavey 684 mixing amp we have a wireless alarm system and the amp has a pulsating sound that comes from amp through the speakers how can I stop this

Sounds like your speakers may be out of phase. Reverse the connection on ONE speaker (swap the wires connected to one speaker.

No sound from peavey triflex

First, check that your source is producing sound by plugging into a different speaker set. If so, plug your source directly into each of your three speakers individually to see just where the problem is. I would suspect the crossover in the sub speaker .

Can you repair a tear in a peavey guitar amp and will it affect the sound

I have to assume you're really meaning a tear in the speaker cone. If so, yes you can repair it if it's small and yes, it will affect the sound. Peavey Bandit amps have come with a few different speakers over the life of the name, but all will still be available either online or directly from Peavey's parts department. Here's the link-

I bought a peavey bandit 65 it's getting power but is barely making a sound?

There are a lot of possible problem areas it could be. I would first check that the speaker is working correctly. If so, I'd clean all jacks and pots. If that doesn't do it, it'll be time to take it to the shop.

I'm running my Peavey Vypyr 15w through this cabinet with a 1/8" to 1/4" adapter and a speaker cable, and the cab is producing sound, but the volume is very low and stays the same at every setting

This is a VERY low level output designed for headphones and will not drive a cab directly, you'll need an amp, take it to line in of an amp and all should be fine (REMEMBER This is designed to drive stereo headphones so is a TRS Right,Left,Screen. If you plug it into a mono input you will probably be shorting out one side of the peavey's output so get a splitter.

Peavey sp2xt speakers horn makes no sound when plugged into normal input. Horn works fine when plugged into the high side of the crossover.

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.

I was playing then all the sudden it sounded like it shorted out. The power is still on and the tubes fire up but the "STANDBUY" switch isn't lighting up when in on position. Please help.

The speaker is blown. Did it smell a little funny when this happened. Sometimes they get a faint burning smell when they blow. Some Peavey amps especially older ones are known for letting DC current slip through to the speaker and blows it immediately. Most of the rest of the amp deals with that pretty well so I'm not quite sure what going on with the standby switch. Probably just a blown bulb.

No sound will come out of the speaker. I plug in the headphones and there's sound coming out of there, but nothing out of the speaker. It's a brand new amp. I just got it tonight. why can't i...

It sounds like to me that you blew the speaker. We here at Pro Line Music are Peavey dealers. If you can not check for continuity of the speaker you can bring or send it in. 215-736-8055

Peavey XR800F 8 channel - I can't get but very little sound to my big speakers. Help

Troubleshooting is always a "process of elimination." Have you tried hooking up your Peavey powered mixer to another set of speakers? How about connecting the speakers to another audio system? Your term "very little sound" could mean audio input problems, mixer/amp settings or failure and possibly speaker damage (internal passive crossovers). Please be more specific.
