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.

SOURCE: i have a new peavey

This is based on MOST cabinets like this: First look for any small screws which are usually through the grille near the top and bottom that retain the grille. When those are removed, one has to pry the grille out of the grooves at the side by dishing the grill outward at the center so edges come inward. There often is a "U" shaped rubber strip along the edges that will need to be put back on before grille is dished and put back.

Note that SOME speakers have a fuse or a polyfuse to protect them from excessive current. If yours do not, consider puttin in polyfuses to protect them. They are available from Digikey.com.

Calculate the hold current based on the pwer rating and impedance. Take the square root of the rated power of the HF divided by the impedance and choose aa polyfuse that will hold that current and one that will standoff the peak voltage of your amps. Calculate that voltage as the square root of the max power of your amp divided by the LOWEST impedance allowed for the amp.

Set the filter to search for "Radial" type package and find suitable rating in the list that comes up.

SOURCE: whats the wattage of the bulb used in peavey sp2

The lamp is an "1156" lamp... replace with that part number. Here :

http://search.digikey.com/scripts/DkSearch/dksus.dll?Cat=524517&k=lamp%201156

Or you can find it at auto parts store.

LIKELY the polyfuse device is ALSO gone... Probably similar to this one (1.1 amp, trip 2.2 amp):

http://search.digikey.com/scripts/DkSearch/dksus.dll?Detail&name=F2010-ND

or this one (1.85 amp, trip 3.7 amp):

SOURCE: I have a Peavey PV 115 Speaker...The horn works

Check the resistance across the woofer connection points. Using an ohmmeter, you should se around 6 to 8 ohms. If there is no continuity, you have a blown speaker.

SOURCE: Peavey Pr-15 fuse blown, speaker

Actually its pretty funny thing with those speakers is the "fuse" is Actually called a Lamp in this case. These are what they call a " Red Dot Fuse ". in all the years i've been doing this i've never thought to look up the value haha. Just have to know there are Red Dot lamps and Blue dots and No Dot. If you examine the LAMP you should see somewhere close to the ends ON THE GLASS a color dot of some kind. almost like someone painted it on there. Red Dot Lamp. any parts distributer for people like Harbinger, Peavey, and B52 will KNOW what your talking about

I have 2 peavey sp2 bx well I was pushing them really hard and blew the black widows. Now I have got a replacement and hooked it up and still no sound out of them. I do have the horns working but they...

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.

2 possibilities here:

*Input jack named "Low" in the Bi-Amp section has a loose contact, as they are switch also.

Hope this helps.

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.

Peavey SP3 (older model) Can not get any sound thru horn.

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.

Could u please send me a circuit diagram of Peavey sp2 crossover with the exact rattings or values of the parts? cos the image of the bulb you have sent is different from the one in my speakers

Here is a link to forum that someone has posted the soundguard protection circuit down the page:

http://forums.peavey.com/viewtopic.php?f=26&t=2168&view=previous

The 1156 lamp MAY have slightly different shapes but is an automotive lamp. If the bulb is blown, the polyswitch fuse is likely blown as well.

No sound in horn when plugged in bi amp connection

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.
