[QUOTE="Josh Millward, post: 67584, member: 970"] Re: Peavey SP4 speakers nackered, new baskets or magnets? Which drivers were damaged in each cabinet? The SP-4 is a Quasi-3-way design with both woofers going all the way down and different upper crossover points for the lower woofer versus the upper woofer. Could you have possibly sent some really sub-sonic signal to the boxes that may have over driven the X-Max of the drivers and thus damaged them? How old are these drivers? I've had a 15 in one of my Peavey DTH 2S loudspeakers tear the cone apart between the dustcap and the voicecoil. The cone literally ripped concentrically right around, though I think it had been damaged for a while previous. Most likely you will only need to replace the baskets on those two drivers. They can be had for a relatively reasonable price from any Peavey dealer. It is an easy fix, especially if you are already well versed in pulling the drivers out of your boxes. Full Disclosure: I do work for Peavey Electronics Corporation, but I work in Peavey Commercial Audio - MediaMatrix Technical Services, not parts, not repair, nor even customer service. Good luck!
