[QUOTE="Lisa Lane-Collins, post: 8161, member: 2967"] Had a crack at fixing a mate's DB opera Live 405 today. Unfortunately, my skills begin and end with resoldering loose joins and I couldn't find any. The speaker's problem: Last gig it did, someone plugged their own mixing console in and blew everything up, as soon as the patched in, just bam, gone, took out both tops and the sub, in fact, this happened twice. The first time someone in the audience knew how to get everything running again and fixed it up, by the end of the night this 'tech' had managed to blow everything up Again! The sub and one top were just a matter of resoldering the signal wires back on but this speaker has more obscure problems. It carries signal, very intermittently, when it Does carry signal, that signal is sometimes overdriven, but not always, it also sounds kinda mid-ey but that could be a simple as a blown compression driver, without steady signal it's hard to tell. I'm admitting defeat and handing the problem over to a pro but I'm still curious for future reference. Any one have any ideas? [/QUOTE]
