Peavey SP2 PA Passive Speaker - Answered Questions & Fixed issues
Is there a fuse in a peavey sp2 for horns
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.
What is the simplest way to connect speaker to radio?
Hi Micah, What Amp and leads do you have? Your passive speaker will need to be plugged into your amp speaker outs , and you radio into your Amps Tuner/Radio input or Aux, but just depends what system you have. Check what inputs and outputs your amp has and what leads you need as a lot of systems need different setup and cables/leads.
Peavey sp2 pa speakers quit working
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.
I just purchased 2 old
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.
I have a pair of SP2XT speakers. The woofer works
Hi budprice54,
High chance that both of them was blown due to high frequency signal from the amplifier. You may confirmed it by swapping with a working one or if not available test the incoming audio from the two speaker wire connected to this speaker with a multimeter set in AC. There was a small flactuating voltages reading depends upon the beat of the sounds if the audio signal was present.
If confirmed that the speaker was already faulty, there some shop specialized in speaker rewinding, this speakers need to replace the voice coil to work again or you may replaced it with a new one.
Hope I helped you.
Have a nice day!
Thanks for using Fixya.
Hi,i got the circuit diagram of the soundguard
For the MOST PART the lamp is NOT the primary path for the speaker current, the POLYFUSE is and is a low resistance until it is overdriven.
The bulb is a 12 volt bulb and is nominally 2.1 amps when used on 12.8 volts.
If this is in regards to the other problem mentioning 32 watts and 12.8 volts... this bulb is NOT 32 Watts, it is 32 CP or 32 Candlepower which is NOT Watts in general. The lamp is actually around 27 Watts when run at its ratings.
It is important to realize that the lamp and the resistor are there ONLY as a "soft" path when the POLYFUSE opens due to overcurrent. When the polyfuse cools, the lamp and resistors are effectively shorted by the Polyfuse and most of the current again flows through the polyfuse..
So the wattage of the is 32 watts and voltage is
This makes no sense... 32 Watts and 12.8 volts... something to do with this speaker that is rated at 500 Watts???
If you are trying to calculate something for a car amp you don't understand how they work... that is the only thing I can think given the 12.8 volt thing you stated. Most high power car amps BOOST the incoming battery voltage up with a switching power supply. For instance, they might boost to 48 volts and that applied to a 4 ohm speaker would be 12 amps PEAK maximums. BUT the RMS power is one half that or about 288 Watts in round figures before considering losses.
Many car amps are designed to run with 2 ohm speakers... JUST SO THEY CAN CLAIM massive power values in their ads so you will buy them!
Need a capasitor for crossover
Find them at Digikey.com. Search first for "Capacitor" then select "Non-Polar"
HOWEVER there is a part that LOOKS like a ceramic capacitor but it is NOT. It is a "polyswitch" which is a resettable fuse. Go to the Digikey.com site and search for "Polyswitch". Then select 60 volt in the filter and Radial... see if you can find the item. Also consider opening a second speaker if you have it to get the number off one that is still OK. This is part of a protection circuit and needs to be replaced with exact device.
No sound in horn when
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.

Peavey 14 bt mixer won't pan. Keeps sending signal to both outputs
If your Peavey 14 BT mixer is not allowing you to pan the audio signal and is sending the same signal to both outputs, there could be a few potential reasons for this issue. Here are some troubleshooting steps you can take to address the problem:
1. **Check the Pan Controls:** Make sure you're using the correct pan controls for the channels you're trying to pan. The pan controls are typically knobs labeled "Pan" or "Balance" on each channel strip. Ensure that they're set to the desired positions.
2. **Reset Pan Controls:** If you've already adjusted the pan controls and they're not working as expected, try resetting them to their center positions. This can help eliminate any accidental settings that might be causing the issue.
3. **Channel Routing:** Some mixers have routing options that can affect panning. Check if there are any routing switches or buttons that might be affecting the signal routing for each channel.
4. **Mono/Stereo Mode:** Some mixers have a mono/stereo mode switch that can affect panning. Make sure the mixer is in the appropriate mode for your setup.
5. **Master Pan Control:** Ensure that the master stereo output pan control is set to the center position. If it's panned to one side, it can affect the overall stereo output.
6. **Test Different Channels:** Try panning different channels to see if the issue is specific to one channel or affecting multiple channels.
7. **Firmware/Software Update:** If your mixer has digital components or software control, check if there are any firmware updates available. Sometimes, software updates can address functionality issues.
8. **Physical Damage or Wear:** Inspect the pan controls and associated circuitry for any physical damage or wear that could be causing the issue.
9. **Factory Reset:** If none of the above steps resolve the issue, you might consider performing a factory reset on the mixer. Be sure to back up any important settings before doing this.
10. **Professional Service:** If the problem persists after trying these steps, it might be a more complex internal issue that requires professional servicing. Contact Peavey's customer support or a qualified audio technician for further assistance.
Remember that the exact steps and controls can vary depending on the model of your Peavey mixer. Refer to the user manual for your specific model for more detailed information on troubleshooting and operation.
